Fiji – Paradise holiday in the Yasawa Islands
To finish off my first big travel experience, I visited Fiji for just over a week and a half with a good friend from school. Fiji is a classic end-of-trip visit after a New Zealand or Australia trip. We did some island hopping on the Yasawa Islands and had a fantastic time. However, there are…

Australia – Classic East Coast Trip
My first solo travel experience is one of the best experiences I’ve had so far. The chosen destination I had for this experience was a bit of a classic, especially for girls leaving school in Germany, and I headed off to Australia. I spent a total of five months in Australia during which I had…
