As the year of 2018 drew to a close, my family decided to escape the cold weather in Germany and head to Lisbon for a few days. The capital city of Portugal greeted us with sunshine and close to 20° celcius. We had gotten very lucky. Here are my highlights of our three full days […]
North Italian highlights
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 […]
