Since Zagreb is located in the northern center of the country and quite far from the coast, the city is not only geographically off the tourist tracks. Many visitors simply skip the city and head straight to Croatia’s gorgeous shores and islands. Yet, it is precisely the opportunity to experience real Croatian city life that makes a visit to Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, so interesting – in contrast and as a cultural complement to the beautiful places alongside the Istrian and Dalmatian coast.
Everybody who has been to Croatia is just raving – about the food in general and the special treats such as extra virgin olive oil and big, aromatic truffles in particular.
About the beautiful sceneries and the clear waters that are one of Europe’s last dolphin refuges. But I was stubborn. When everybody tries to talk me in one direction, I turn my head and walk the other way. My mental age is 13.
And then, I had to face a very stressful Autumn and therefore, I needed a destination somewhere in Europe. A place that would save me from culture shock. Hence, I renounced my plans on going around half the globe to Japan and decided to spend September in Croatia.
Since it’s much closer. Since it’s much cheaper. And a teeny tiny bit since everybody who has been there being just raving about it.
This Way to the Whole Story ->The city of Bremerhaven was founded as Bremen‘s access to the North Sea, and after some ups and downs, the city is now evolving into a Boomtown – as I prove in this complete guide to this widely underrated city.
After a changeful history, today the city is almost secretly evolving into a Boomtown.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Bremen, located in the northwest, is definitely not Germany’s most famous city. However, visitors who find their way here will certainly be surprised. And even rewarded since the historic old town – partly a UNESCO world heritage site – deems like the capital of a fairyland. And you’ll run into some fabulous creatures and fairy tale figures, indeed.
But there is far more to discover in this Free Hanseatic City.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Somehow, Lubeck, Germany’s most ravishing city, has always reminded me of Venice. An innocently cute and relatively small city that used to possess such political influence and economic power, reaching all over Europe and beyond.
Although Lubeck has incredibly beautiful buildings and alleys, seven church towers, three Nobel prize winners, and world-famous marzipan, it does not suffer from destructive over-tourism. Therefore, let me show you around one of Germany’s most captivating cities.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Beaches, Breezes, Birds, and endless fields of Brassica Napus – I don’t really have to explain why on the Baltic island of Fehmarn Plan B is the Best Plan, do I?
Therefore, I’ve had a soft spot for the Northgerman Island of Fehmarn for the longest time.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Bali, also referred to as Indonesia’s island of Gods, is a truly mystical place. Temples, fog-bathed mountaintops, and golden beaches make a trip to Bali a journey into a magical world.
Still, although Bali is safe and easy to travel, its infrastructure is not always convenient for solo-travellers.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Bali is just mesmerizing, no question – yet, as it gets very busy, its eastern neighbor, the island of Lombok, becomes a valid and serene alternative.
When going to the Canaries, you don’t have to limit yourself since island hopping between the various Canary Islands is really fun and so easy.
While most visitors pick just one destination for their beach vacation, you can have it all: Hop on a ferry or go on a plane and travel crisscross between Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and La Gomera as much as you please.
This Way to the Whole Story ->While studying Portuguese in Rio de Janeiro, I thought it might be a good idea to take a trip to Belo Horizonte at the weekend – mostly because I wanted to see Inhotim, a botanic garden full of contemporary art.
Turns out, Inhotim was the only spot worth the travel. But so worth it!
