Day hike to the tripoint from Nauders

When your parents offer you to join them for free on their trip to Austria, it's impossible to pass on that. After some 'Puss-in-Boots'-eyes at work, I was allowed to take some extra days off during the busy summer and tag along for a week of fun in the Kaunertal. For seven days we stayed...

Three weeks backpacking through Vietnam; travelling doesn’t have to be expensive!

As usual I'm concluding my long revue of posts about my most recent travels with a round-up of my budget and expenses of the trip. As South-East asia is known to be a cheaper region, the budget for my three week backpacking trip through Vietnam was also a lot lower than for my trip last...

Solo travelling, yay or nay?

Earlier this year I went on my first ever solo citytrip. I had been playing with the idea of going somewhere on my own for quite a long time, but I was always afraid that I would get too lonely or that it just wouldn't be my cup of tea. But one can never know...

Six highlights of Prague that stuck with me over the years

Back in the summer of 2013 I was lucky that I was allowed to tag along with my parents on a roadtrip to Berlin and Prague. I have already discussed a thing or two about the accommodation we stayed at in Berlin, but for this next post, I'll be focusing on my highlights of Czech...

My three week backpacking itinerary through Vietnam

Over the past couple of months, you've been able to read all about my backpacking adventure through the beautiful country of Vietnam. During those three weeks, we were able to check off most of the hightlights, but of course one could easily spent half a year travelling this country as there is just so much...

Visiting the Perfume Pagoda complex from Hanoi

On our last full day in Vietnam, we had plans to leave the city of Hanoi once more. We boarded a bus to take us to the famous Perfume Pagoda about 60km south-west of the city. This pagoda is part of an entire complex of pagodas and shrines up in the cliffs of Huong Tich, but the...

Day trip out of Copenhagen city center: Frederiksborg and Kronborg Castle

Earlier in May, I spent three days in the lovely city of Copenhagen. If there is something that Denmark seems to be known for, it's their castles. In the touristic center of the capital alone there are already three to be visited. Luckily for me, I quite do like castles. So much so that I...

Two day cruise through Halong Bay with Dragon Gold Cruise

After the two day trek through Sapa, it was time for some relaxing. And what better way to relax than enjoying a cruise through one of the most famous UNESCO heritage sites? Halong Bay is one of the most visited places in all of Vietnam and it's not hard to figure out why. The beautiful islands...

Hiking through the rice terraces of Sapa with Sapa Sisters

Many organized tours through Vietnam take Hanoi as their most northern point of visit. However, the highlight of our three weeks backpacking this beautiful country was definitely our two day stop in Sapa. Sapa is the main departure point for hikes through the rice terrace fields for which the area is known. Since we wanted...
