Nha Trang is a well-developed beach resort, but as you leave the coastline, you find also a bustling Vietnamese city and lots of fascinating history.

Street Art in Rio de Janeiro: The Voice of Colors by Rita, Eduardo, and Jorge
Street Art is becoming more and more not only tolerated but also actually recognized and promoted – not exclusively in Rio de Janeiro. All over South America, Street Art has a long tradition – as a medium where colors give people a voice.
I’m introducing Rita Wainer, Eduardo Kobra, and Jorge Selarón, three of the greatest urban artists that left ineradicable traces in Rio de Janeiro.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Guide to BOGOTÁ – Colombia’s hip ‘n’ artsy capital
Bogotá, Colombia’s hip ‘n’ artsy capital is the most energetic, artistic, and trendy Latin American city I’ve ever visited. Hence, let me guide you to all the amazing places that took me by storm with its vibrant and ingenious creativity.
I’m still overwhelmed by the charm and the beauty of many neighborhoods. I’m also impressed by the environmental awareness, by the countless delightful little shops and vegetarian and vegan snack bars. The most amazing suit, however, is the eclectic, outstanding, creative art that can be found at every corner.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Language Learning in Brazil
My passion for travelling and my interest in learning yet another language took me to Rio de Janeiro, the legendary metropolis on the Atlantic coast of Brazil.
Here at Rio’s Jardim Botanico, a beautiful, serene oasis not far from the beach of Ipanema.
There is not only an eclectic mix of untamed nature growing next to manicured lawns and flowerbeds, decorated with old, weathered statues and fountains. There is also an exhibition of modern art taking place.
My favorite piece is an installation by Gustavo Prado called “Caminho Inverso”/”Reversed Path”. It consists of about thirty mirrors facing the top of the palm tree alley which shows you the plants from many, many….different perspectives!

Carnival in Rio de Janeiro – I am what I am…
…and what I am needs no excuses – the beginning of Gloria Gaynor’s evergreen is the perfect intro to this post, which deals with my perspective on the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, an extremely gay event.
Gay in every sense of the word.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Guide to SÃO PAULO – Brazil’s Art Hub
I will not beat around the bush – São Paulo, Brazil’s Art Hub, was my favorite Brazilian city.
Although Bonito enchanted me with its natural beauty, Foz do Iguaꞔu impressed me with the power of nature – São Paulo is the place where I see myself living and working and being part of the cool, artsy crowd.
This Way to the Whole Story ->24 hours in BANGKOK
After another stopover in Bangkok on the way back from my travels through Cambodia, I’m now ready to share my best tips in this brand-new 24 hours post.
As usual, it’s meant for just a layover or a very short break on a trip through Thailand.
Of course, in 24 hours you’ll see just a fraction of all the attractions this bustling mega-city has to offer. So if you’re staying longer or want to try out more, check out the Bangkok section in my Thailand post.
This Way to the Whole Story ->24 hours in MIAMI
Obviously, I know it must sound totally out of line to put together an itinerary for only 24 hours for a city as big’n’busy as Miami.
The fact is that Miami is a pivot point when it comes to travelling to Central and South America as well as the Caribbean Islands. Therefore, chances are that you have to spend a couple of hours or even one night here.
This is where my guide – for a sunny and for a rainy day – comes into the picture.
