Sunset Saturday XII
This picture is from my first trip to Bali back in June 2009. I was meeting up with a group of friends that I hadn’t seen in a while and was excited to see them. I wasn’t really prepared for the stunning views and the sunset over the infinity pool at our hotel, and the…
Where there’s Smoke, there’s Thunder
This past weekend we drove up to the Victoria Falls with my parents, who are currently visiting from Germany. After a night at Nata Lodge, we continued our journey to see the water masses of the Zambezi River falling over the edge. On our way, we encountered some elephants on the roadside, passed huge sun-flower…
Chasing Waterfalls

Market Day
We spent all morning at the thriving neighbourgoods market in Woodstock. It was recently featured in my favorite magazine and so I was very keen to check it out. And I’m happy to report it was exactly what I expected: Busy scene, beautiful setting, delicious food and lots of creativity. It’s so good to be…
Most Liveable City
Monocle has voted Munich the most liveable city in 2010! As a native to this beautiful city, of course I’ve always known this ;) And it’s good to see that also other people share this opinion… pics: Rathaus at Marienplatz, Maibaum at Viktualienmarkt, Hofgarten of the Residenz
Capetonian Views
Everyone told me how beautiful Capetown is but still I wasn’t quite prepared for the outstanding beauty of this part of the world.After a long and rainy day in the car we arrived at sunset from the Sir Lowry’s Pass and for the first time I loved the traffic jam because that meant I could…
