Why choosing South Australia was a bad idea…
Two more sleeps and counting! Well almost counting… Even though I am supposed to be packing (sounds familiar…), I’m surfing the net. What can I say? I am a pathological late packer and any attempt to pack earlier ain’t happening. So instead of packing, I re-read my Australian friends’ messages, did some research on Australia…

Tuesday yumminess!
Since Australia is about to happen (haaaaaaaaaa only 3 more sleeps!!), I have decided to dedicate my Tuesday yumminess to an Australian foodie: Irena Macri. I was lucky enough to come across Carol, an Australian blogger while looking for a dessert recipe. Carol’s post features Irena’s chocolate soufflés and those soufflés are simply fabulicious. At first I was…

Not even a week to go…
… And with only 5 sleeps to go until I set a foot on the australian soil for the very first time, I cannot help but think about a renowned philosophic band who sang ‘it is the final countdown’ (here for the video). They were with me to climb Mt. Kinabalu, went on a roadtrip…

TBT # Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
When I asked around before my trip, I was told that you either love or hate Kuala Lumpur… There is apparently for many travelers no middle ground. This made me even more eager to discover KL, a controversial place. How exciting?! And the least I can say is that I disagree with the above statements. I did not love…

Tuesday yumminess!
Who would have thought I would one day post this recipe?! Certainly not my mom who never seemed to find the right words to tempt me with peppers when I was a child. After I started Paleo, I realised that I had to give another go to many veggies I had disliked for years not to get bored with…

TBT # Kotor, Montenegro
By picking new places while planing getaways, we always increase our risk to be disappointed by the new destination. What if people are not nice? What if food ain’t great (not to say awful!)? What if the place is not as nice as pictured? What I certainly love about being a traveler vs being a…

15 days, 16 hours, 08 minutes and 51 seconds until Down Under…
Wait… Have I already mentioned that I am excited to fly to Australia? Yes? No? Maybe? Well let me tell you this: when you get an email like the one I got today, you know real, things are getting and even more fidgety, you become*. * You obviously need to read this with Yoda’s voice.…

Tuesday yumminess!
Winter, this year, has invited himself way too early to my liking (see my open letter to winter) so I have decided to share this week a lovely recipe that always makes me feel great when it is grey and cold. Lucky you, you are thinking, right? If you have an hour, why not prepare a delicious pork roast…

Bad day?
Either at home or traveling, we all have those once in a while – though we can all agree that while traveling those days can feel a tad more intense! Nevertheless it is NORMAL, unless you are a robot or a mutant. Then nothing will ever bother you and you can ignore my post as…

TBT # Carabao island, Philippines
This cold and miserable weather is calling for a hot #ThrowBackThursday, don’t you think?! Two years ago I discovered a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean and for 48 hours, I felt like I had reached heaven. I didn’t know what to expect when I booked this Asian getaway and Carabao island did a great…
Got any book recommendations?
