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!
There were a lot of things happening at the beginning of 2013. Not only was I about to move to an apartment in another part of Bratislava, but there was also a new trip each weekend. During this period I visited Brno, Nitra, and Prague. Somehow I also managed to squeeze in a day trip to Stuhleck…
2013 was a year when we visited Budapest a lot of times. However, there is one trip to the Hungarian capital that we value more than the others. The trip took place in the beginning of April and it was the first weekend trip we did together, just the two of us. In other words, it…
Are you looking for a place that is small, yet historical? Do you want to get away from the big city buzz and just enjoy an ice cream by the lake? If your answer is yes, then maybe Sigtuna is the place for you. We visited Sigtuna in April 2017 and enjoyed our trip very…
Today was the last day of our Easter holidays here in Sweden and we thought that we should take advantage of the sunshine. Little did we know that some snowfall would surprise us as well… Oh, well. That’s life. Our plan was to go and see the cherry blossoms in Kungsträdgården in central Stockholm. It…
While visiting Kraków in 2013 we also took the opportunity to see the site of one of the world’s worst crimes. Susann and I visited Kraków together with my two siblings and it was my sister who wanted to see Auschwitz. Susann had previously been to the concentration camp Majdanek outside of Lublin. For her, the thought…
Kraków is probably one of the most fascinating cities in Europe. We visited the second city and the cultural capital of Poland in September 2013. I do have a soft spot for Poland and considering the fact that I actually lived in the country for many months in 2003-04, it’s quite a surprise that it…
There were not many trips during our time living in Slovakia where Susann did not join me. However, there are always exceptions to the rule and today I write about one of the most interesting ones. This particular trip took me and two friends to the small town of Sliač in central Slovakia. During the summer…
A drive into the town of Zvolen is in some ways reminiscent of arriving in the capital Bratislava. The first thing that catches the eye is a large castle. This small city, with approximately 43,000 inhabitants, holds a surprisingly rich history and serves as a key hub in central Slovakia. It is the 12th largest…
Donovaly is a small village and a major mountain resort located in central Slovakia. It is situated in a valley between the Veľká Fatra and Low Tatras national parks. This location makes it a prime destination for outdoor activities throughout the year. The village is part of the Banská Bystrica Region and serves as a…
During the weekend we decided to take the possibility to visit the Swedish Riksdag. The Riksdag is the parliament of Sweden and you find it in the center of Stockholm. More precisely it stands on the island Helgeandsholmen. This Saturday they had an open day when the building was open for the public. It was time to…
Most Apollo is one of three bridges that connect the center of Bratislava with the large residential district of Petržalka on the other side of the Danube River. The other two central bridges are the famous Most SNP, also known as the UFO Bridge, and the historic Starý Most, or the Old Bridge. For a…
One of the things we liked about living in Slovakia was the possibility to go abroad easily. One of the easiest ways was just to cross the border somewhere near Bratislava. Trains and buses to Vienna, Budapest, and Prague were easy enough to find. However, we also had the chance to see other, more unexpected,…
