Cannes is always the perfect place for a cheeky weekend getaway. A destination that epitomizes glamour, Cannes is also the perfect place to bronze that beautiful body. This is topless tanning in Cannes.
I am constantly mesmerized by the vast variety of architectural styles present in this world - most of these statues, structures and buildings were created far before cranes, planes or trains. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque on the other hand is not as historical as it was completed in 2007. Regardless, it embodies more culture than one could deem imaginable.
Let's face it. Plush pillows, stand alone bathtubs & floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Emirates Palace is the ideal location for a hotel - especially when you wake up on the 50th floor overlooking downtown Abu Dhabi. I spent a week in Abu Dhabi and was lucky enough to have a week-long sleepover at the Jumeriah Hotel at Etihad Towers. Centrally located, contemporarily designed (parallel to Emirates style - marble details at every whim) this hotel was one for the books.
Within the last year WHERE IS PER has been read in 6 continents, 127 countries and over 2300 cites. It baffles me that people want to read my grammatically incorrect stories, watch my “uniquely” shot videos, or scroll through my photos. But I guess the point is to inspire you to travel. I hope everyone gets the chance to visit somewhere new as often as possible.
A desert oasis strategically designed along the Oman boarder surrounded by sharp, jagged mountains and scorching, dry heat is pretty hard to believe. Well, with a quick 128 kilometer drive (around 80 miles) from the center of the glamorous and booming city of Dubai such an idea exists.
This past week I had the pleasure of traveling from Dusseldorf to the beautiful city of Hamburg for the Social Travel Summit with trivago. For those who are not familiar, the Social Travel Summit is a conversation style conference where some of the world's leading industry representatives, bloggers and destinations gather to develop "best practices and collaborative success in travel marketing and publishing."
After a long couple of days surfing (note: in my case "surfing" = having a love affair with being drowned by waves of arctic temperatures (loved it by the way)), the idea of an afternoon wine tasting naturally sparked my interest. What better way to learn about Portuguese culture than to taste some of nature's magic water with a group of Scandinavians. Sounds horrible, I know.
I officially survived my first German winter. As expected, the lack of sunshine was quite depressing but I did not let it hinder my spirits. Now that it is officially spring & ski season is coming to an end, it is time to switch the gortex in for a bikini. That's why I will be spending the next 7 days swell searching in Ericeira, Portugal with Lapoint Surf Camp. By the looks of the weather & this video I am in for one hell of a treat.
It's a country, a city, a tax haven & a tech hub. The little country of Luxembourg has been on my list for quite some time now. I figured Skype, Amazon and Paypal have offices there - it must be something worth seeing. The perfect weekend trip was filled with 24,753 steps of walking, a lot of (coffee) drinking, and even better company.
