Welcome, World! Come In And Join Me In My Italian Online Course at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci
Twice a week, I’m participating in an Italian online course at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci via Zoom – and welcoming classmates from all over the world to my humble living room.
Amazing Opportunities: It’s never too late to become an Au Pair
It’s never too late for amazing opportunities: You might be too old for a pony, but you’re never too old for becoming a mature Au Pair.
Actually, for mature women, this can be a great way of exploring the world. And the privately run agency Madame Grand Mere makes sure you’re exploring the world with a safety net of a lovely family.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Back to School: Italian Classes at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci
Taking Italian Classes at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is a quite distinctive experience. Whereby, I find that taking a language class in another country is a very special experience at any time and a grand opportunity for everyone.
Not only can you practice what you have learned right on the spot – which will hopefully be an encouraging encounter. It also grants you the opportunity to experience life from a whole different perspective.
This Way to the Whole Story ->booking ahead versus walking in
Booking ahead or just walking in – what’s more advisable?
As I mentioned on various occasions, doing research on the internet, reading guide books, sketching routes, making reservations sometimes months before my trip to me is a big and important part of the fun. This way, your brain does already all the travelling before you – just like a scout.
Those who need inspiration and guidance on how to plan a trip from scratch will find it in this post.
But planning and booking ahead is not only an extra portion of fun. It can also save you lots of time and money.

Learning Languages for Travel is a great way of getting in touch with locals. Here’s how to learn some basic vocabulary for your trips by using babbel.com

This Way to the Whole Story ->Grub First, Then Ethics – Brace Yourself for Cuba
Yes, Cuba is a wonderful place with days on endless beaches and nights at hot bars. Nevertheless, brace yourself for Cuba.
Obviously, the difficult monetary situation and the unimaginable economic difference between locals and visitors might lead to misperceptions.
Grub first, then ethics – as a matter of fact, in Cuba, you are often reminded of this sober truth.
Indispensable Travel Tools and Gadgets
There are some travel tools and useful gadgets that over the years became indispensable for me.
But seriously, what is it that you really need to take with you on your trip? Actually it’s your passport, your vaccination record, a credit card and your phone with all that matters on it.
Everything else such as clothes, toiletries, or sun gear can be replaced. You can buy almost everything in almost every country in the world. Maybe not in the desired quality, but still.
I’m by no means an advocate to buy constantly everything – and, as a matter of fact, I hate shopping.
All I’m saying is that it’s neither the end of the world nor the end of a happy vacation if you forget something.
