Vienna, Austria 10/06/2012

Dear friends,

Vienna was a very short trip. I enjoyed the Leopold museum: you get to see the world's largest collection of Egon Schiele, but there is a lot more art to see in the "MuseumsQuartier Wien". Try the original Wiener Schnitzel and Tafelspitz. Those are both very typical Austrian dishes and as desert go for the "Sacher" cake or simply buy some "Manner Waffeln". They are delicious!

Keep on discovering!



Budapest, Hungary 08/06/2012 - 09/06/2012

Dear friends,
these are a few impressions from Budapest. It is a beautiful place with relaxing Turkish baths after long walking tours through the capital of a country that has a very unique, dark and interesting history. This is definately a place I have to come back to and discover more of. 2 days are not enough.. especially because the night life should also be experienced extensively: No one should miss out on the ruin bars!!

Next Destination Budapest - 08/06/2012

Let's get started

My biggest passion in life is travelling and therefore I visit a lot of different places. Whenever there is some time I try to catch a plane, bus, train, car... When money is scarce I travel shorter distances which I enjoy, but the most exciting are the adventurous trips to places far away from home.

The idea to start writing a blog came to my mind for two different reasons. The more personal one is that friends and family asked me to update them more frequently. This way you know where I am and what I do. Writing to everyone individually takes time and can be very repetitive. The other reason is that many people ask me for my personal opinion on some place I visited and they consider going to. This way you get an impression of my perception of the places I visited.

This blog is not aiming at giving a proper description of places. I leave this part to travel guides. What I want is to convey a feeling. I believe in the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words". I have to admit that sometimes I simply don't find the right words to describe things, but I want to write this blog in English to give all my friends the possibility to read it.

I hope you'll enjoy reading!

See you soon!
