  • TBT # Sukau & River Kinabatangan, Malaysia

    As I am about to embark on a voyage to Latin America, for my last TBT post, I needed to pick one of those wonderful places I wish I didn’t have to leave. Was I ever blown away by a place? Yes! Recently? Yes! Last year in March, our wanderlust took us to Sukau on…

  • TBT # Mt. Kinabalu, Malaysia

    Through my travels, I have come across incredibles places (really struggling to decide which one is my favorite so far! but maybe one of those days I will come up with my top 5) and I am grateful for it. To be able to follow my wanderlust and to keep on traveling is priceless. Last year, when…

  • TBT # Angkor Wat, Cambodia

    Who doesn’t like a good wander through temples? It feels like I am sent back in time. Priceless feeling, no? The peace is a bliss in a world where rushing is pretty much the only acceptable way of living in our modern society. I’m looking forward to our new adventure to hopefully be able to slow…

  • TBT # La Paz, Bolivia

    While I was planing my world tour three years ago, many travelers told me that I could NOT miss Bolivia. I therefore started to read about this country, both fictions and non fictions (I particularly enjoyed ‘Marching powders’ by Rusty Young) and I decided to add this city / country to my (already too long)…

  • TBT # Machu Picchu, Peru

    This throwback Thursday is very special to me. Three years ago to the day, together with 16 enthusiastic hikers, 21 impressive Peruvian porters and 3 guides I conquered Machu Picchu. It had been a dream for years and I proudly made it.  Even though this 4-day hike (45 km) was not too difficult (if you…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • TBT # Sevilla, Spain

    It is apparently highly recommended to visit Seville when the “Sevillanos” are celebrating the “Semana Santa” (holy week) or during the “Feria de Abril” (their annual fair) as the city gets kinda crazy and very (very) lively. I can agree to a certain extent. However, if you are on a budget (prices tend to be unfortunately higher…
