Asia! Throwback to our biggest adventure so far – Asia, August 2016. Traveling in today’s super busy and fast moving world for a whole month sounds – to be honest – like a dream. Exploring different cultures and countries, getting a chance of tasting and smelling new scents and odors every day, being away for four weeks without any obligations sounds impossible. However, my husband and I were able to do exactly that. Traveling for a whole month! We came up with this idea a couple of months ago during our stay in Brazil. Hungry to explore more countries and filled with thousands of imagines in our heads we decided to spend this time in Asia. Well, I agree, Asia is a huge continent and a month is by far not enough to explore every single city or town. We needed a well-organized plan and we had to choose the cities we really wanted to visit. After endless hours of research and planning, we decided to start in China. Before you book your flights or hotels, be sure to have a valid VISA. You have to fill out a special application form and apply for it. This may take a while so plan in advance. After we had got our visas we started immediately with our detailed plan. Our very first stop of this incredible journey was Beijing.

Throwback to our trip to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro in March 2016. It all started with the FIFA World Cup which happened in Brazil in 2014. Did you guys see those amazing pictures on television before the matches? I fell in love with them and wanted to visit Brazil myself. Since my husbands birthday was around the corner I decided to book a trip to Brazil for the two of us. In my opinion a perfect time for South America, it was almost fall. Rio de Janeiro was on top of my list. During the planning phase I was thinking about a circular tour but decided to stay in Rio, I wanted a beach vacation and besides that I found a perfect hotel deal for the PortoBay Rio de Janeiro located at the famous Copacabana Beach and next to the Belmond Copacabana Palace. After a little research I decided to book it.

Throwback to our New England trip during the holidays in December 2015. My husband and I had a wonderful and super relaxed Christmas in Portland, Maine. We stayed together with our friends at their house for a couple of days and celebrated a traditional American Christmas with lots of food, great conversations and tons of cookies. Unfortunately there was no snow. The temperatures where in their mid 60’s and there was – not even a small sign – of snow. The Christmas walk at the beach was amazing but felt more like a walk during fall. Nevertheless we had left Maine with full stomaches and happy hearts and drove through New Hampshire to Burlington in Vermont. We wanted to spend a few more days in this beautiful area and couldn’t leave New England without a few snow pics, right? Our first stop was at the famous Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, NH. Such a majestic place in between the mountains and surround by two golf courses. It was just a quick stop to soak all the magical moments in.

Throwback to our trip to Hawaii, Maui back in August 2015. This homepage didn’t exist back than, but I decided to share it because I love to travel. Maybe some of you are planning to visit beautiful Maui soon and looking for a few more tips.

My Husband and I booked this trip super last minute, I would say less than 8 hours before we jumped onto our plane. Trust me, I’m spontaneous but this was more than that. After a short night we found ourselves in the backseats of an Uber heading to the airport. Another 12 hours later and we arrived in paradise. The sun was shining, the temperatures were in the 80’s and we saw our first local band including two traditional Hula Dancers at the airport. What a start into your vacation. Our hotel was the Wailea Beach Mariott Resort directly located at Wailea Beach with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. The location is perfect if you love watching breathtaking sunsets over and over again. Wailea Beach is located at the Southern part of the island, which is besides the sunsets on of the best spots on the island for a beach vacation in my opinion: Simply because of the views and the rainfall. Most of the rain usually falls on the North and East Side of Maui.
After our arrival, which was around 4PM local time, we went to the beach. I have no idea how long we sat there together and watched the waves followed by a late night dinner. The next day was our Wedding Anniversary and we decided to stay in the hotel and enjoy our time together.
