About a year ago we were boarding a plane, flying to Casablanca to start our Moroccan adventure.

WESTERN SICILY: 1 week road trip with a rented car
Sicily – one of those ideal destinations for a short Autumn vacation, if you live somewhere in Europe, that is.

OMAN: 2 week round road trip with a rented 4WD car
Our first big trip out of Europe with Lu! We were deciding on where to go for quite some time and after we excluded all the other destinations on the shortlist, Oman was our winner.

HVAR – 2 weeks beach holiday

INDIA: south to north in pictures
They all say you either love it or hate it – in my case, it was clear I love it already when I was about 5 years old. Even though I was never actually there back then, I was crazy about all the shiny, rattling and glittering gifts my aunt brought me and I always wanted to visit this mysterious …
