I’m no surfer. I tried it once, and right in the middle of the surfing lesson, I know it is not for me. But places always hold a singular image in your head. Siargao, before my first trip to this ever-growing popular destination, some pounds ago, was Cloud 9—not the […]

If you live in Cebu, it is so easy to hop on the bus bound down south and pick one of the beaches you can see from the bus window. Well, that’s what I did back then. There is no question that Cebu is one of the most beautiful places […]

We only have three types of travel as a couple. It’s either a food trip, a weekend trip, or a road trip. To be completely honest though, most of the planning of these road trips is on my husband. He knows his home country, Germany, and its neighboring countries way […]

I have a flippant mind, but in this life, my obsessions have been quite consistent the past fifteen years or so. Books. Cats. Travel. Plants. My hobbies, as I love saying now in German, das passt nicht zusammen. They don’t fit together. Well, living in a camper van will make […]

With my German exam looming in the air and some unexpected news, I shouldn’t have time to pin yet another useless weekend thoughts on something so trivial triggered by a clickbait post seen on Facebook. It says study confirms that nobody gives a shit about your vacation pictures with a […]

Personally, Hvar Island was my bet among the Croatian islands I visited. It got this Mediterranean-Adriatic vibe. I’m a sucker of overlooking the sea spots, and Hvar, especially its many beaches, has plenty of that. Hvar Island is a sun-soaked paradise with beaches that are the stuff of legends and […]

Siargao Island has always been one of my favorite places not only in the Philippines but in the 20-something countries I’ve visited. Perhaps because at the very core, I consider myself an island girl, like many vagabonding locals who call this archipelagic country their home. Welcome to Siargao Island, where […]

When you visit Lugano, there are two things that come to mind, Lugano Lake and the mountains. For us, who only had one day in Lugano (check if you want see how maximized our day in Lugano), we picked Monte San Salvatore over Monte Brè since we could squeeze a […]
