Do you know why we finally visited the United States? Daria had the chance to study at MIT in Boston / Cambridge, Massachusetts. It’s part of The Lisbon MBA to have an Entrepreneurship class at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Initially, this was planned to take place in 2021. But well. Covid. Daria had her […]
The Custom House in Boston was built by the United States Federal Government as early as 1849. In 1915, they added the clock tower to the neo-classical building. And although the Boston Custom House was moved to a different location, the Custom House Tower still bears the same name. Today, the Clock Tower is the […]
Shortly before Daria started her one-week Entrepreneurship course at MIT in Boston (MA), we spent time exploring the city. On our first day, we just took random streets and let ourselves get lost. At some point, we stumbled upon the Old City Hall, which immediately caught our attention. Boston, the largest city in New England, […]
The Anaga Mountains on Tenerife will make you feel like being in the middle of the forest from Grimm’s Little Red Riding Hood. Thanks to the ancient Laurel Forest, UNESCO included the Anaga Area as a World Network of Biosphere Reserve. A volcanic eruption formed this area 7-9 million years ago. On some mountain slopes, […]
If you want to hike in Tenerife, look no further than the Anaga Mountains. My favourite hiking trail was the one we took after driving up to the Mirador Cruz del Carmen, near the town of Las Mercedes. When we arrived at the Mirador, the weather wasn’t good enough for some photos, so we took […]
Roques de García is a marvellous first stop when visiting the Teide plateau on Tenerife. The right part of this rock formation is called Roque Cinchado or, more colloquially: Finger of God. It’s a place that has plenty of parking and a nearby hotel. This also means: It’s busier than other parts of the Teide […]
Each time we visit Tenerife, we must go up to enjoy the panorama view of the Teide volcano at least once. I find it magical every time. The drive up there. The changing landscapes once you’re on the high plateau. The feeling of being on a different planet. It’s no surprise that movies such as […]
When we visited Lagos on our Christmas trip, not only did I capture the beautiful Christmas decorations of the city, but I also had a look at the Lagos Fortress called “Forte da Ponta da Bandeira”. Lagos was an important town in the history of Portugal. It’s very typical to find such Fort near any […]
Moby Dick at Tegeler Hafen is another piece of my childhood history. Growing up near Lake Tegel was pretty cool. I always loved being around water and dreamt about living with a view of the lake. My grandparents would take me on a trip on one of these boats every summer. Pretty often, we took […]
As you know, I always try to book a hotel with a view. In Manhattan, that was a must for me. Immense gratitude to the Residence Inn New York Manhattan/Central Park that gave us a corner room with which we could not only view Times Square but could also capture this photo of the so-called Billionaires’ Row. […]
Macy’s Herald Square. Gosh, this shopping mall killed me. No, not as you might expect. Not because Daria had to go shopping for dresses. It was just that I’m a sucker for colours. And I absolutely loved how they installed the rainbow colours for the Pride celebration at Macy’s. When we walked down Broadway and […]
Grand Central Terminal was high on my must-visit list for New York City. As a traveller, train stations have always fascinated me. And this one has become so iconic, displayed in so many movies, that I had to see and capture it for myself. As I walked around, I couldn’t help but wonder just how […]
The Central Park in New York. First, I wanted to capture it from above. Thanks to the great team at the Marriott Residence Inn, we could make this happen by having access to the rooftop. Next was actually to get into Central Park and experience it. It’s hard to describe how massive it is, just […]
When we arrived in New York, I quickly missed some nature. Yes, there is Central Park, but not from everywhere that’s quick to reach. In Berlin, I was used to “Decentral” parks – all over the city. So I was pretty happy when we finally spent some time in the High Line Park. It’s a […]
Castle Hill Light is a lighthouse that has become a symbol of Newport and is one of the most visited landmarks at Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island in the United States. It is said to be a frequent spot where marriage proposals are made. And, of course, later wedding photo shoots take place. Castle […]
Yesterday I already showed you a photo of the Trump Tower with the iconic clock, today we have a look inside! As you can see in this photo of the Trump Tower Interior, it hosts a little “museum”. Or a collection of memorials. It’s all about Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United […]
It’s more controversial to say this in 2023 than it would have been in 2013: Visiting Trump Tower was a must-do for me when visiting Manhattan for the first time. I still remember watching “The Apprentice” with Donald Trump in 2010. Or better, binge-watching it. Before that, my dad was gifting me a book “Think […]
With this photo from the so-called Sechserbrücke in Alt-Tegel, I wish you all a happy new year! This is a special photo for me and fitting to be the first published photo of 2023. 2023 will be the first year I’m officially and totally out of Berlin and out of Germany! Did I say I […]
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas! In 2020, we had our first Christmas under palm trees, Christmas in the Algarve. Travelling between Portugal and Germany was impossible, so we made the best of it. We booked an Airbnb in Ferragudo end explored the Algarve for the first time since we moved to Portugal. Part of it was […]
The Menorca night sky is perfect for night photography or just for casual stargazing, with clear, dark skies that make it easy to see constellations even with the naked eye. In fact, in 2019, Menorca became a Starlight Reserve and Starlight Destination, these are official designations awarded by the Starlight Foundation that recognize places where […]
