I still owe you one post about our trip around Costa Rica – before coming to Santa Teresa, we stayed in Tamarindo for two nights. Tamarindo is a popular and comparably busy surf town, with a lot of hotels, restaurants, bars and shops (most of them selling surf wear or boards). We stayed at Hotel Pasatiempo, … Read More
It’s my birthday at the beginning of June and I’m planning a long birthday weekend. After all, it’ll be a big number, which calls for a big celebration, right? And since I’m never not keeping a wishlist, it was easy to put together a little list of things I’d love to be given to my birthday – … Read More
The weekend was perfect: my family came to visit, we met for breakfast every morning, strolled around the city, ate ice cream and drank Aperol spritz on my balcony, we went sailing and the weather really couldn’t have been better. It actually felt like summer here. My sister, mom and me also did some shopping … Read More
Now I’m jumping ahead a bit but I cannot wait to share this beautiful spot with you. After two nights in Tamarindo (more about that in the next post) we drove to Santa Teresa, a little beach and surfer town which is sometimes referred to as “the new Tulúm” or “the original Tulúm”. Since we … Read More
From Manuel Antonio National Park we drove North to Monteverde. If you plan to drive there, make sure your car has four-wheel-drive and drives well on rocky grounds. The gravel road up to Monteverde wound itself through the mountains for a long time until we finally reached the village of Santa Elena. While driving we could already see … Read More
It’s become kind of a tradition for my boyfriend and me to travel for two or three weeks in spring. And while we usually have a plan in mind early on, this year, for the first time in several years, we weren’t sure where we wanted to go. Since we both loved Tulúm so much, we were thinking … Read More
I’m writing this halfway to the airport – follow me on instagram for travel photos from Costa Rica. I can’t wait for two weeks of beaches, rain forest, volcanos and surf towns. I’m looking forward to Yoga on the beach, but maybe this time I’ll also try surfing. Who knows. But before I leave I … Read More
When I’m planning an Italian holiday the food is always something I’m looking forward to well in advance. Gelato, espresso, wine, pasta, … it’s not exactly healthy but it’s perfect soul food and there’s nothing like a glass of aperol spritz on ice or cool rosé wine at 6 o’clock when the sun is beginning to … Read More
Ah, Venice! I have always wanted to visit this magical place but somehow I’d never been until this week. I had read so many books about the history of Venice and stories that were set there so I had a lot of images in my mind. But I couldn’t really imagine what it would be like … Read More
White T-shirts and blue jeans will always be part of my wardrobe – I’m a sucker for good basics, as you might know. Maybe you’ve seen my new sneakers on instagram, still fresh from the box and bright white. I had been looking for a classic pair of white leather sneakers for a while. Originally, … Read More
