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 […]

Peniche is one of Portugal‘s most important seaports, and the Cabo Carvoeiro lighthouse is one of the city’s significant landmarks. However, it is not a monument in the typical sense, as the lighthouse is still functioning. It has allowed sailors to dock safely in Peniche’s harbour for more than four centuries until today. The […]

We spotted this “elephant” while on our way back from Berlengas Island to Peniche, Portugal. Although we were traveling by speedboat at a dizzying pace (almost flying over the waves of the Atlantic) the captain of the boat slowed down at this rock formation and allowed Nico to capture the Berlengas Elephant at sunset.

Arrábida National Park is known for its scenic mountain trails with views of the ocean and picturesque coves. However, if you search the phrase “Arrábida” with the famous Uncle Google, you’re bound to find a trillion ads for tours offering wine tastings. And there’s a reason for that.. We visited Arrábida and Setúbal National […]

Do you recognize this view of Verona (Italy) from St Peter’s Castle? Apart from being one of the most popular shots of the city of Verona with the Adige river, Nico has already published a similar photo. You can see the effect of the previous photo of Verona here. What do you think of […]

Burano is an island just 7 kilometers from Venice, Italy. You can get there by water bus from Venice (Vaporetto) or by water taxi. Although Venice itself is an intense experience that will take you a minimum of a few days, Burano is definitely worth making room for in your itinerary. Burano is known for […]

The Tróia peninsula near Setubal has become our regular destination when we want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. For the beach of Tróia to do its best job (calming our distracting thoughts) it must be empty for us. And this only happens… in winter. We visit the Tróia peninsula quite […]

The mosque located in the town of Al Thakhira is one of the oldest historical monuments in Qatar. The town itself is located just outside of Al Khor and if you are in the area, it is worth making a stop here. The traditional Arab buildings of the mosque blend in perfectly with the desert […]

“Porto Arabia” is one of the attractions at “The Pearl” that should not get lost on your list of places to visit in Doha. The very fact that the entire district of “The Pearl” is man-made (this peninsula did not exist on the map before), deserves attention and a visit. The entire “The Pearl Qatar” […]

Madeira is probably the best place in southern Europe to see the various populations of dolphins and whales. Depending on the season, about 8 kinds of whales and more than 20 kinds of dolphins can be spotted off the coast of Madeira. Theoretically, the best time to see dolphins and whales is between April […]

For over two years we had been beating ourselves up with thoughts of moving to Lisbon. On the one hand, in Berlin, we had family, friends and a fairly settled life in a country where we knew the language and culture. On the other hand, Lisbon charmed us to the point that we spent the […]

This panoramic photo of Carvoeiro was taken during our winter trip to the Algarve. This town is a popular destination for summer vacations in Portugal. However, and this is happening more and more, it is also a place where retirees or remote workers settle in the winter. Admittedly, Nico and I are not retired […]

Portugal never ceases to amaze us with its variety of landscapes and sights – and this is true even after two years of living in Lisbon. We had similar thoughts on our way to Piodão in the Serra do Açor mountains. Piódão is a scenic village just a 1.5 to 2 hour drive from […]

Santana in Madeira is known mainly for its characteristic houses with sloping roofs covered with straw. These houses used to be used by farmers but today they are just a tourist attraction. May is the month when flowers bloom on Madeira. Every year the island holds a “Madeira Flower Festival” at this time. In […]

Ponta de São Lourenço is the easternmost peninsula of Madeira. It is one of the parts of Madeira, where traces of civilization can be counted on your fingers. The peninsula is named after the ship João Gonçalves de Zarco, one of the three explorers of Madeira. According to legend, he is supposed to have […]

This photo of the Seljalandsfoss waterfall in Iceland was taken in February just before the first lockdown in Europe. A day in Iceland in winter is extremely short, so this brief sunset was Nico’s last opportunity to contemplate the wild landscape before travel was no longer possible. Seljalandsfoss is one of the more famous […]

At 2962 meters above sea level, the Zugspitze is Germany’s highest alpine peak. Its slopes spread out gently in the daylight in this photo. It was taken from the Fern Pass mountain pass in Austria at an altitude of 1212 meters. The German-Austrian border runs across the Zugspitze. There used to be a border crossing […]

Skógafoss Waterfall is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. For a sense of scale – take a look at the “human figure” at the base of the waterfall. It marks the previous coastline – yes, the one that is now 5 kilometres away. Skógafoss Skógafoss waterfall is located in the south of Iceland and […]

Who can guess from which mountain top this view of the Tatra Mountains stretches? Well, I won’t keep you in suspense – Nico took this photo from Kasprowy Wierch. When we climbed to the top of Kasprowy (yes we climbed, we didn’t take the gondola) the sky was almost completely overcast. And only for a […]
