Let’s be real: 2020 is the year to dream of travel, not to travel (besides domestically or close by). Long international trips seem very far away and a little (or bigger) travel blues might be on the way. Still, we shouldn’t let ourselves be kept from dreaming of travelling, planning future trips and thinking back about great places we’ve visited so far. And that’s exactly what I am going to do today: tell you all about my all-time favourite travel destinations so far. Some might be ‘mainstream’ or obvious; others are more special. So let’s dive right into dreaming away.

Happy Friday everybody and welcome back to the blog! Last week, I told you everything about the places I visited in Utah, and slowly the USA road trip series is coming to an end. But before it does, there are still blog posts waiting for you, and this week it’s all about Yellowstone National Park.

Welcome back to the blog and welcome to a new blog post. Last week I told you all about Las Vegas, and I was talking a lot about all the trips you can make from Vegas. Some of these trips were to locations in Arizona, that’s why this blog post is all about them, and everything else I saw when I started exploring this US state. After leaving Vegas, I was travelling alone.

There are few places in the world you immediately recognize when seeing certain pictures. Las Vegas is definitely one of them. I mean, are there other cities with a sign this big and this famous? So, as you understood by now, today it is all about Las Vegas and its surroundings. I know Vegas is not that high on places people want to visit, so I’ll try to show you why I truly enjoyed my stay and that there’s way more to Sin City than just gambling and casinos.

Last week, I was talking to you about Los Angeles, and this week I’m taking you from California to Nevada, or better said, to the Death Valley National Park which is partially located in California, partly in Nevada. We are now at the beginning of week 3 of the 5-week long road trip, so let’s get right into this one before heading to Las Vegas in the next blog post.

Welcome back on the blog, and I hope you are ready for a new blog post. The last weeks I was already talking a lot about California and famous places in this US state, this week, I focus on the most famous city in California, maybe even the most famous one in the United States: Los Angeles. LA and Hollywood are dream destinations for lots of people, but I am not one of them, and so I’ll share with you not only the places I visited but also my personal opinion.

In the last blog post, I was talking to you about San Francisco, so now it’s time to tell you everything about the following stop on the road trip: Yosemite National Park. While another blog post about all the key facts of visiting several national parks will follow later on, today, I’ll focus on the best spots in this Californian national park.

In last week’s blog post, I covered the first few places we’ve been to in California. The post ended with us leaving Napa Valley, and I’m pretty sure you can guess where we headed to next? Yep, that’s right, San Francisco. This city is hyped up like no other on the west coast, so be prepared for our adventures there and my – personal – opinion on the town.

Happy Friday and hopefully you are as ready for this blog post as you are for the weekend. Last week I told you as much as possible about Oregon, my all-time favourite US state, this week we’re headed on to California. As you might have noticed, these blog posts are getting longer and longer along the road trip, so grab a cup of tea or coffee and let’s get right into it.

Welcome back on the blog and welcome to a new blog post. As you might have noticed, this blog post did not go live on Thursday but on Friday and from now on it will remain this way. But now let’s head right into the topic and pick up where we left last week. In the previous blog post, I told you everything about Whale Watching near the San Juan Islands, but of course, this was not the only thing on the itinerary of the road trip regarding Washington, and I’ll tell you everything about the most beautiful places in Oregon as well.

Welcome back, and after last weeks introduction into the whole road trip series, I hope you are ready for some content on the actual trip. The first experience I want to tell you about is the whale watching trip we made at the San Juan Islands. So buckle up and let’s get right into this!

Welcome back to the blog after a little “summer break”. It lasted a bit longer than I initially expected it to, but with all the travels, there was not as much time left as I anticipated. But now, summer is (nearly) over, and I’m ready to start again. The list of blog posts in the making is long, as is the list of things I experienced this summer, so I decided to use my time waiting for my flight to depart from Seoul, South Korea to bring me home and start right away. The biggest tip of this summer – and my life so far! – was undoubtedly the road trip through Western America. I made lots of experiences, and I value them all, good and bad. It was the first time I ever rented a car abroad (despite one time in Italy, but that was only for a few hours, so it does not really count) and there are a few things I noticed in the US.

On August 28, 2017, at 6 o’clock in the morning, I boarded a plane that would take me from Innsbruck to Frankfurt. This was just the beginning of a 27-hour journey to my final destination, Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, on the island of Oahu. I had never been so far away from home before, and also, never this long. I went to Hawaii for four whole weeks. For most of this time, I stayed in Honolulu.
I was lucky enough to experience so many amazing things during these four weeks and I want to tell you guys all about it. So, be ready for a little four-part-series on the blog, where I will get into detail about all of my adventures on Oahu and Kauai.
In today’s post, I am going to focus on Honolulu and the area close by.
