No matter if you are going to Venice as a couple or as a family with kids, taking a book along is always a good idea. There is something about the uniqueness and history of La Serenissima that can only be appreciated if fully understood. Otherwise, the city might feel like a claustrophobic open-air museum to get…
Most couples looking for a romantic weekend break shun Venice for good reason – crowded, expensive, unpredictable – you name it! Our suggestions for a weekend getaway for a couple in Venice are based on our one-year relationship anniversary weekend spent there. Since then, we’ve visited la Serenissima three more times and the experience has…
The idea to assemble a list of my favorite books set in/about Vienna developed organically from the weekly Wednesday book recommendation I put up on our social media channels. Initially, as part of the #dailydreamtravel, these photos were rather unexpressive. In time, I realized that I quite enjoy putting together meaningful settings for my book pictures…
When Irina asked us for suggestions for her city visits, we realized this could be much more – that we could start an exciting collaboration. We met Irina in Vienna and we simply adore her love of life, of everything that is beautiful and good about the world. Beyond her day job and activity as a fitness…
Our curiosity when it comes to new places is endless and we take every opportunity to appease it. The fact that Sri Lanka was ranked top country for travel in 2019 by the Lonely Planet only made us more inquisitive and we thought we’ll go find a local to help us out. Luckily, we have…
This article was written half a year ago, in July 2018, as I was launching the new website and it was centered on the question: is my Instagram meaningful?

Before I sat down to write this Parisian itinerary, I asked myself what would I have liked to have when I explored Paris for the first time. So I came up with a three-days in Paris itinerary for which I would recommend the easily accessible setup of a hop on hop off tour alongside my…
The South Bohemian region in Czechia is a great short-trip/weekend destination from Vienna or Prague and one that’s been on our list for a long time. This South Bohemia weekend itinerary, originally written by our collaborator Irina, is full of authentic charm, medieval fortified towns, spa facilities, and beautiful natural landscapes. Note: This article contains a…

It is with anticipation and excitement that I dedicate my Christmas blog post to change and the magic it brings in our lives! For me, the best way to do that is to feature a few of the great friends we have made over the last years. When we started travel blogging two years ago we expected…
Are you wondering what to do in Venice with kids? The city is normally tagged as a destination for tranquil romantic interludes. Even for a romantic weekend getaway, the city offers more than just gondola rides, vintage charms, and amber sunsets. Nevertheless, Venice has always been considered as a low-key destination for family holidaymakers, but if you…
The first month of 2022 will be my 14th January spent in Vienna. Coming back from the holidays, I find the city awakened and refreshed after the somehow artificial glow and glitter bestowed upon it with the occasion of the famous Christmas markets, New Year’s Concert, and change of the year street celebrations. The crowds…
