Trip over time: Dubai 2024 compared to 2012

Hi there, Dubai in the UAE. A planned journey thanks to two buddies from my hometown back in November of 2012. A good couple days in and around Dubai, Schardscha and a road trip to Oman. And just recently this update: a short-trip to Dubai again in 2024. A chance to compare what I saw […]

Journey XIX: Morocco

North Africa, Western North Africa and the country of Morocco. The upper left corner of Africa combines some French with Arabic or more precisely Berber/ Amazigh culture and many other African influences in a safe and adventurous destination. Polish your French language skills to get around here, it is the official language and spoken or […]

Journey XVIII: The Virgin Islands

Hi there, The Virgin Islands. Deep in the heart of the Caribbean. Overseas Territories of both the United States and the United Kingdom. Not part of their actual country, though, but somehow still a domestic trip from the US over to their island of St. Thomas. Three islands form the US Virgin Islands in total […]

Journey XVII: Hawaii

Hi there, 8 Islands. Aloha works on all of them. So does Mahalo. Mahalo, a life credo, a thank you and a farewell. A vibe and wonderful blend of life in the midst of the Pacific. HAWAII: Ha-wa-i-i..! The Big Island has been my destination for the final excursion of 2023, concluding one of or THE […]

Journey XVI: Road trippin’ Arizona-California-Nevada-Utah

Hi there. Can’t help it. I surely think global, yet my heart seems pumping American blood. This ultimate road trip led me from LA to Las Vegas, to small towns in Utah, to the beautiful Antelope Canyon all the way to Flagstaff in Arizona and surrounding mountains. After that, right to Lake Havasu, AZ in […]

Spring trip 2023: NOLA, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Hi there, Back to the US for some trip. New Orleans, Louisiana, boie! I thought, I was cool to say N’awlins, but NOLA it is. When locals speak of their city they refer to it as NOLA. I flew in from my base airport Frankfurt via a stop-over in Charlotte and was surprised by the […]

Journey XV: Maldives (Baa Atoll islands & sandbank plus Male)

Hi there for a great start in 2023, Choukouriya. Choukouriya [English: “ChooKuuReeYa”] means Thank you. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? The Maldives are just as wonderful and worth any trip and their luxurious price tag. Why? Because! And as follows now. Wonderful like exactly the contrast of an international arrival via long-haul flight to Male airport […]

Journey XIV: Cape Verde (Bao Vista & Sal), Africa light

Hi there, The final trip of 2022 after already many great experiences from the earlier get -aways: Cape Verde, Africa. Cabo Verde as they say locally can be found in the Atlantic, about 500-900 Km west of the Senegal, and it is an African country even though feels a bit African light. Well, an interesting […]

Fall trip: A,B,C..?!? Nah, A,B,M: Atlanta, Berlin, Miami

Hi there, Having to admit, that I am a bit overdue with a total new destination in my blog, is really not easy. Yet, I will first report from my fall trip this year in October which brought me actually first to Berlin, Germany, then for a stop-over to Atlanta, Georgia and then back to […]
