Read all about our travels! For us, traveling is a hobby, a passion, a way of life. Here you can join us on our adventures in Europe, Africa, North America, South America, and Asia. We have been to many countries, but there are still many left on our list. Not only do we write about the places we have been to. We also want to share tips and travel inspiration with you. Come along as we travel the world!
As always, we appreciate your comments. And remember, let us know if you have any questions!
The largest zoo in Scandinavia can be found in the vicinity of Norrköping in Sweden. Its location is in Kolmården municipality right next to the bay of Bråviken. Little A is quite fond of animals. As the zoo is only an hour away from her grandparents in Vagnhärad, it made a perfect excursion. So that…
Summer in Sweden has two major attractions – nature and strawberries. At Hillsta, a place between Vagnhärad and Västerljung in Swedish Södermanland, we were able to combine these two treats. We spent a fine Friday afternoon picking strawberries with fields and forests in the background. Actually, we also had the chance to pick some potatoes…
Right outside of El Médano is the Reserva natural especial de Montaña Roja, or the Special Nature Reserve Red Mountain in English. The main sight within the reserve is the cone volcano – the Montaña Roja. Rising 171 meters above the sea it does not only pose as an impressive sight when viewed from the…
A day trip somewhere from time to time is for us a way to keep our wanderlust at bay. From Stockholm, there are several places within a reasonable drive to visit, even though it always takes some time to get out from Stockholm itself. An hour and forty minutes away you find the small town…
We had never really considered the Canary Island as a travel destination. With the risk of sounding smug, we thought that it was a place for charter tourists, staying on the same beach and drinking alcoholic drinks for a week. We are more than happy to confess that we were wrong. Especially Tenerife was so…
What is it like to visit beautiful Malta with a toddler? Traveling with little kids always requires some extra planning. Depending on the destination, it may be a question of safety, activities or both. We recently spent a week on the small island nation with our 2-year-old daughter. Although there were a few challenges, we…
The island of Malta might not be famous for golden sandy beaches, but there are a few of them. One of these beaches is at Golden Bay. What a surprising name! There are mostly cliffs along the island’s coastline and the beaches are usually small. Golden Bay Beach is close to the village of Manikata in…
I had visited Malta twice before. However, I had so far not had the opportunity to visit the second largest island of Malta – the island of Gozo. Even though it is just a short distance northwest of the main island it still has its own culture. Not to mention it is a very beautiful…
In the center of Malta lays the fortified city of Mdina. Until the medieval age, this was the capital of Malta and today it is one of the country’s major tourist attractions. The city has less than 300 inhabitants but is located just next to the much larger town of Rabat. Rabat has gotten its…
A lot of the tourists visiting Malta seem to end up staying either in St Julian’s (Maltese: San Ġiljan) or St. Paul’s Bay (Maltese: San Pawl il-Baħar). The latter includes the area of Buġibba where we were heading on a day trip from Gzira. That’s where you find the Malta National Aquarium. When traveling with…
Valletta is not like any other European capital. The tiny city is built like a fort on the northern coast of Malta with the sea on three of four sides. The walls create an impressive sight when arriving from the waterside. The city has developed a lot during the last years. However, it has been…
There are huge advantages to know people at your destination. Malta really was a destination with such a benefit. Old classmates, acquaintances, and even relatives have settled on the island. We would probably never have gone to Xemxija unless Susann’s cousin lived there with her partner. But we are happy that we did. Read more…
