South Tyrol – hiking in the Dolomites

Hiking is one of our absolute favorite pastimes. In Austria the possibilities are endless … we could climb a different mountain every day. Every now and then, however, we are drawn to a hiking holiday in a foreign country – or rather to our Italian neighbors.

With Svens Cabrio we went south to Olang in South Tyrol. The “Bärenhotel” is located at an altitude of 1330 m, beautifully embedded in the middle of the Dolomites.

New York City – a city that never sleeps

As a big Sex and the City fan, New York has been on my bucket list for a long time. No other city I had browsed so many travel guides, online reports and illustrated books. The days before our trip I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge the streets of New York several times via Google Street View 😆 I had the feeling that I knew the city before our visit. There was only one thing we had absolutely not expected …

Tyrol – Cozy vacation in the igloo hotel

Happy Birthday sweetheart! I have a very special present for you … With these words Sven surprised me, he gave me a kiss and handed me a small package. Curious, I unpacked it straight away – it was a day of skiing followed by an igloo night. I was completely surprised and really looking forward to it, but I also had my concerns. Just thinking about a night in an igloo gave me goose bumps 🥶

Paris – love is in the air

Is Paris really the city of love? For us, it definitely is. When Sven and I flew to Paris we had only been together for 1 year and were still totally on cloud nine 😊

Ich hatte Sven mit dieser Reise zum Geburtstag überrascht. Unser erster gemeinsamer Städtetrip. Allerdings mussten I had surprised Sven with this trip for his birthday. Our first city trip together. However, we had to overcome a few obstacles first … We had missed the flight and that on an Easter weekend. All the flights and even the trains were fully booked. So we only had the option to rebook. You can imagine our disappointment. But we did have a little consolation. I got sick the day after … it would have ruined the trip one way or another.

Bangkok & Koh Phi Phi – culture shock & dream beaches

After Punta Cana, Thailand was our second long-distance trip together. We hadn’t really informed ourselves about the destination and just picked out the (in our opinion) nicest hotel. Since most of the flights from Europe land in Bangkok, we decided to stay 3 nights there and travel on to the island. Well, it was that easy and our travel plan was set.

Punta Cana – our very first vacation together

13 years have passed in the meantime. Oh man, I was so excited … just a couple of weeks together and Sven wanted to go on a long-distance trip with me. I couldn’t believe my luck. Since there was hardly any time for planning and we really only wanted to enjoy a relaxed love holiday, we inquired at the travel agency and the holiday was already booked 😊

Just thinking about it makes me smile today. At that time, of course, I had absolutely no experience with travel planning, perfect travel times, visas or vaccinations. But what are travel agencies for 😉
