Social media – The good and the bad You might have read my last blog post about how social media can open up a whole new world – whatever your age! If you’re interested in travel, social media can be a great way to get ideas and form impressions about thousands of destinations. Since finding […]
Lake Constance – Germany’s Riviera Despite having travelled extensively around Germany, we had never been to Lake Constance. The area isn’t called Germany’s Riviera for nothing! With its stunning scenery and mild climate, there really is nothing not to like! When we planned holiday, we wanted to include something a little bit different. We […]
Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg: a food lover’s paradise Whenever we’re on holiday or I’m out discovering places for my website and community, I try and avoid succumbing to a fast food break. Food is such an important part of my life that it feels like I’m cheating myself if I don’t take my time over […]
Hooray! It’s summer in the UK and that means holidays, sun cream, sunglasses, al-fresco dining and pub gardens. But do you know what Germans like to do on those long hot summer days? I’ll give you a clue – it’s cold and really delicious! In Germany, there seems to be more gelaterias than pubs! Most […]
Düsseldorf’s hidden gems As well as the well-known areas of Düsseldorf, I wanted to discover some of the up and coming trendy areas. So, in spring last year (2017) I spent the day wandering through Unterbilk, visiting the many independent shops and cafés. Unterbilk is close to the Rhine Tower and be easily reached by […]

Do you have your head in the sand when it comes to the growing trend in social media networking? If so, this could be an interesting blog for you. How we communicate with the world has changed drastically over the last decade. We’re able to check our emails and look up information on the go […]
I had the pleasure of trying out the Altbier-Safari beer tour while I was in Düsseldorf last December and I must say, it was really informative and lots of fun (despite preferring wine to beer). As I originally come from North Rhine-Westphalia, which is well-known for its beer, I thought I’d give the Altbier-Safari beer […]
North Rhine-Westphalia – or rather a village close to Düsseldorf and conveniently near to Düsseldorf Airport used to be my home. People from the area along the River Rhine are cheerful and optimist by nature and I would certainly describe myself as a glass half full kind of girl – most of the time! Easy […]
As you might already know, we as a family love travelling around Germany. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the UK’s stunning countryside and I’ve already been to many beautiful places since I’ve been living here. However, it’s often true that we never get around to visiting the interesting places right on our doorsteps. […]
