I’ve been the first time in Asia this year, and I had no clue what to expect. Will I like it? Will I feel comfortable? How will I react on a place that’s apparently so different from the cultures I’ve seen so far? Well, I took my first Asian trip to Indonesia, and I have to say that all the worries and questions were erased within minutes after I left the airport.
Barcelona, like Amsterdam, is one of those cities where I like to come back to every year. First, because I really like this place, especially the combination of metropolitan vibe and beach town; second, because the Sonar Week and the love for electronic Music call once a year anyway.
The time this year came again, and my good friend Paulo and I were ready for our yearly escape during springtime. Well, it turned out that Sevilla is more a summer escape already in May, the temperatures reach easily around 40 degrees celsius in the afternoon! That’s why I wouldn’t reccommend to you guys to plan a superquick citytrip here, you won’t be able to do much outside between 2pm and 6pm, you totally should take some extra 2-3 days instead.
When you travel to a new place, especially cities, it can get quite hard to figure out which restaurants and cafés are worth a visit. If you’re planning to visit Amsterdam, this is your lucky day! Since I’m there very often I dropped by in a bunch of restaurants, and not everyone of them was good. A lot of people ask me which places they should go at before flying to the Netherlands, so I decided to put together my absolute favourites in this post. But obviously, there is loads more than just the few ones I’m going to reccommend you here.
I’ve been to Amsterdam over 20 times already. I’ve lost the count and I couldn’t actually care less. It became kind of my old world, a place to feel comfortable and free: I love old fashioned architecture, the café culture and feeling that you won’t be judged if you’re wearing something different than the classic jeans and white tee. The laid back people and the city vibe make me come back every year for once minimum, and no: I’m not here to get stoned in a coffeeshop all day 😉 Amsterdam is way more than this.
I still have loads about Australia to tell you guys, but I’m Feeling more inspired to inform you about the places I am visiting now in Indonesia. I’ll save some Posts for the cold and rainy days back home, before I’ll head to my next destinations in Europe. Fortunately, I still have interesting stuff coming up, so I might won’t be that affected from post travelling Depression 🙂
Yesterday I started my trip back south, I’ll be soon in Brisbane since my flight to Bali will leave from there. However, the lovely City of Brisbane doesen’t have a beach nearby, so I decided to stop in between, in Rainbow Beach.
I have mixed feelings when it comes to arranged day trips. I’ve seen various of them and I didn’t experience always supersweet stuff. Depending on where you’re travelling at, you’ll see how differently organized this trips can be.
Sometimes things don’t exactly go as planned. This concept concerns life in general, but also more specific things: like here, travelling. There where three places that I desperately wanted to see during my trip on the Australian coast: Nimbin, Fraser Island and the Whitsundays. I had to cancel Nimbin because of Cyclone Marcia back in the days and now the weather seems to wanna play crazy again, so no Whitsundays for me.
After explaining the reason of my disease – travelling – I wanted to jump directly to the second most asked question that comes up very often when I talk to People: HOW do you travel that much?
