REVIEW | Fairmont Quasar Istanbul
As my boyfriend Sam happens to have a birthday every year, it was time again to have small trip as his birthday present. Being the cold month of February I first looked into travelling to a slightly warmer and sunnier destination like Morocco, but the only interesting flights being either on Ryanair or Transavia and…
REVIEW | Ibis Styles Coburg
October 2024. During a week-long whistle-stop tour of Germany, we visit Dessau-Roßlau in Saxony-Anhalt, Weimar in Thuringia, Coburg in Upper Franconia (Bavaria) and Kassel in Hesse. Smaller cities, yes. But each with their own significance. Untouched by overtourism. We’re avoiding using the white trains of DB Fernverkehr, Deutsche Bahn‘s long-distance section and opt to use…

REVIEW | Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam
It’s the end of May 2024, the weekend we would have our second try to travel on the Dinner Train. We would be travelling from Namur for a scenic journey through the Ardennes and even booked a hotel to stay the night to avoid having to get home late at night. Unfortunately the Dinner Train…
REVIEW | Hotel Belmont M Gallery Vancouver
In May and June 2023, we travelled from east to west across Canada. From Halifax in Nova Scotia to Montreal in Quebec, to Toronto in Ontario, to Vancouver and Whistler in British Columbia. Along the way some night trains and commuter trains, the Niagara Falls and – imagine this – a bus journey. A true…
