As a way of extending summer, my boyfriend and I decided to go on a roadtrip through Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany early this October. Italy isn´t far from where we grew up, so we only booked the first night in a hotel and got into our car. The plan was to go where we wanted, when […]
Morocco as imagined (Marrakech)
I´m finally taking the time to write about the last stop of our Morocco trip: Marrakech. Probably one of the most-visited and most well-known places in Morocco, maybe even in all of Africa.

This summer wasn´t that awesome just because of the big trips. There was so much more to it. Let me provide some reasons why: We celebrated […]
