In Leipzig, a hidden gem and underrated European city, you find two Town Halls. Yesterday I showed you the Old Town Hall, today it’s time for the new version. Or specifically, the City Hall Tower of Leipzig’s New Town Hall. At 114.8 meters or 377 feet, it is the tallest City Hall Tower in Germany. […]

Doing Cityscape photography during Christmas Days is both a blessing and a curse. The good: You find a lot of beautiful Christmas decorations that give a lovely and unique touch to the images. The bad: Big town squares are often inaccessible due to temporary Christmas markets. Both had been the case at the Old City […]

So how did I capture the skyline of Leipzig? Have you read my post from two days ago about the Skyline of Qatar? Then you know the answer: I tried to find accommodation with the best view. In Leipzig, a hidden gem, for me, this is “The Westin Leipzig”. Thankfully, few people travel between Christmas […]

As soon as we arrived in Leipzig, we got hungry. Daria did a quick Tripadvisor research and found a restaurant called “Auerbachs Keller” in the Mädlerpassage. So off we went to explore the city centre of Leipzig. Boy, did we go unprepared. Okay, I expected we might need to be lucky to get a table […]

The next point of the planning process was: From where do you have the best view on the Skyline of Doha – the capital of Qatar? For me, it looks the most iconic when viewed from the traditional part of the city. The part of the town where you find the old Souq Waqif, Al […]

This photo of Rua Alexandre de Sá Pinto in Lisbon is Part III of a three-piece series of “My Daily Walk in Lisbon”. It’s the street that leads me directly toward the bridge that takes me to the rooftop of the MAAT Museum. Normally, it’s busy with pupils. Not only do you have two schools […]

This photo from the MAAT Rooftop in Lisbon is Part II of a three-piece series of “My Daily Walk in Lisbon”. For me, the quickest way to reach the Tagus River is to cross the rooftop of the MAAT Museum. Thankfully when they built the museum, they made the roof accessible and even built a […]

This photo of the MAAT Museum in Lisbon is Part I of a three-piece series of “My Daily Walk in Lisbon”. With this series, I wanted to test the potential of my iPhone camera. Sometimes, the best camera is the one you have with you. With this photo, I can also say: The next camera […]

With this photo from the Malche in Tegel: Happy Birthday to me! To celebrate my 35th birthday, I’ve chosen a photo of this tree that’s so close to my heart. As you may know, I grew up near Lake Tegel in the north of Berlin. Until December 2022, I always had a home waiting for […]

The State Opera, located in the heart of Vienna, Austria, is a must-see destination for any music lover. This beautiful opera house is one of the most famous in the world and has been home to some of the most iconic performances in history. Built in the mid-19th century, the State Opera house boasts an […]

Talk about waking up in paradise. For me, this is it. Overlooking the pool area of the Berjaya Langkawi Resort has been our breakfast view for two weeks in February 2022. The first thing you need to know about the resort is that it’s massive in size – but never feels crowded. They built the […]

During our visit to the Berjaya Langkawi Beach Resort in 2022, I finally had the chance to capture photos that go with the memories I already made on our honeymoon there in 2016. This private beach is a big part of why we want to return to Langkawi at least once every five years or […]

Part of our tour through the Kilim Geoforest Park in Langkawi was an Eagle Feeding. While I absolutely recommend a tour in the park in general, I have conflicting opinions about the Eagle Feeding part. Eagles are wild animals; we visited them in their natural habitat, not in a zoo. The way the feeding worked […]

When we’ve spent our honeymoon in 2016 on the island of Langkawi, we didn’t get much out of the amazing resort that we’ve been staying at. When we returned in 2022, we finally made up for it and went for a Mangrove tour in the Kilim Geoforest Park. The Kilim Geoforest Park in Langkawi, Malaysia […]

Óbidos Castle was chosen as one of the “7 Wonders of Portugal” in 2007. It is one of the better-preserved medieval castles in the country. The place where Portuguese kings stayed still serves as a hotel nowadays. Archaeological work has shown that the site where the Castle of Óbidos now stands had a forum and […]

Today I woke up with memories of our trip to Peles Castle in Sinaia, Romania. I thought about a photo that I had taken but never processed. So I went through the hard drives and to my astonishment, I discovered that the trip was already ten years ago! Incredible how time flies. So I quickly […]

Ahoy mateys! Today, we’re going to set sail on a journey through history to explore one of the most famous ships ever to grace the high seas: the USS Constitution. Also known as “Old Ironsides,” the USS Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. Launched in 1797, she is one […]

After showing a photo of the MIT yesterday, today we continue with the other education giant from Boston: Harvard University in Cambridge. I felt a big difference when visiting both universities on the same day. Being so closely located to each other in Cambridge, it is no wonder that a rivalry is going on between […]

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 […]
