I has been 2 years since our last visit to my family back in Germany, so it was long overdue to see them again. And what time could be better for that than Christmas!
For the first week we planned to stay with my family in Göttingen and then we would move north to celebrate New Years Eve with our...

One of the most recommended hikes in the Sydney region is the Costal Walk. There is a shorter one (about 5km) from Bondi To Coogee, but decided to go for the longer one, which is from Bundeena to Otfort and totals in about 27 km. As I noted in the Sydney post, the weather on my first week of arrival...

The Yosemite National Peark (pronounced "Yoh-sem-it-ee") was one of the highliths of our trip, so it deserved it's own post. It is set within California’s Sierra Nevada mountains and is famed for its giant, ancient sequoias, and for Tunnel View, the iconic vista of towering Bridalveil Fall and the g...

We were thinking about doing a trip to California for a while now. With national hoidays coming up in in March we finally saw a good oppotunity to realize it. The cheapest flight we found was a roundtrip to LA, so this was where our it started and ended.
