After a longer travel break than we’d usually like, this spring my boyfriend and I headed off on a short city trip. This time we went to Paris and to say we had a great time would be an understatement. As a short disclaimer to all these recommendations, both of us had already been to…

Meg’s Top 10 in Edinburgh
Last March my boyfriend and I decided to take a spontaneous trip to Scotland’s beautiful capital, Edinburgh. Scotland is known for many things including the love-it or hate-it music made by bagpipes, delicious scotch whisky and the wonderful national animal, the unicorn. There are many beautiful areas to explore in Scotland and the capital city…
Finland – A winter adventure in Lapland
I had an absolutely magical experience this winter when my boyfriend Lukas and I visited Lapland for about three days. Lapland is an area in the north of Finland, and it truly is a winter wonderland. We stayed in and around Rovaniemi on our trip. The first thing to know when planning your trip to…
Murmansk – An arctic adventure
Until about three months ago, I’d never even heard of a place called Murmansk and had no desire to go there. Now, I can safely say that it was one of my favourite travel adventures so far! Murmansk is the largest city in the arctic circle and it’s located in the north-west of Russia. It…
A long weekend in St. Petersburg
Moscow isn’t the only beautiful city that Russia has to offer. St. Petersburg is known for its amazing sights and wonderful culture. Some friends and I took a long weekend trip to St. Petersburg from Moscow and my adventure started on the train – but more on that further down. We had a phenomenal time…
Meg’s Top 10 in Moscow
…so far 😉 Moscow is a city like no other that I’ve experienced so far. The people and culture are certainly unique and there are sights to see and places to explore around every corner. I still have a bit of time left here so there may be some add-ons later, but I’ve already been…
Russia – A month in Moscow
For my 5th semester at university, I’ve decided to do a foreign semester in the capital of Russia, Moscow. Every time I would tell someone this the response was always a bit of a confused smile followed by the question, “but why Moscow?” and to be honest, I can’t really blame them. It’s not exactly a…
Applying for a Russian (student) visa
I’ve applied for a visas for many different countries but this one was certainly the most complicate one…by far. Generally, citizens from most countries need a visa to enter Russia and one of the most important things to know about this in general is that it will take time. This basically means that you need…
Montenegro – Exploring Kotor
This year’s summer holiday for a week took me somewhere I’d never been before: Montenegro. At the start of my holiday planning, I must admit that I wasn’t sure if Montenegro was a sovereign country or where it is but I’d found a great offer for a hotel in the Kotor region and that was…
Croatia – A day in Dubrovnik
Living in Germany, I’ve been to Croatia quite often but this summer was the first time I’ve ever been to the city of Dubrovnik and it was absolutely beautiful. Dubrovnik is a wonderful city in the south of Croatia and the old town area has become particularly well known in the last decade for being…
