travel dreams
Oh Wanaka, how I loved this little lakeside town. Just even travelling here was amazing. The flight from Auckland to Queenstown was super scenic. I was glued to the window as the plane passed by snow-capped mountains, green fields, and river junctions. The shuttle bus from the airport dropped me off at Lake Wanaka just […]

On my final day in Auckland I did the Hobbiton + Waitomo Caves day tour with Greatsights. I was picked up by a bus which seated at least 40 passengers. The tour was overpriced at 357 NZD, but I was short on time and really wanted to see both places. In the end my options […]

I visited Santorini in August 2016. For a week I lived in a dream among windmills, white-painted houses, blue domes, pink sunsets, and steep cliffs falling into The Mediterranean Sea. Santorini was more beautiful than I ever imagined. I fell in love with Santorini the moment I saw the windmills in the village of Oia. […]

I’m beyond super excited about this trip! My next blog post will be published in mid-April, and I promise it will be a really […]

I love cherry blossoms, sunsets and the sea. The two spring weeks when the cherry blossom trees turn pink are the best time of the year! The cherry blossoms are the most beautiful things in the world and they are so symbolic. They remind us that life is fragile, but also that there’s always a […]
