Spa Break in the Bavarian Alps & Trip To Lake Constance

When my friend Sarah and I had booked this little spa break earlier this year with loads of snow outside and the radiators on full blast it felt like it was a lifetime to go until we could finally enjoy a summer's week looking out over the Bavarian Alps. But just like that it turned July and we had packed our bags in the boot of my friends car and headed off down south for some relaxation, a good natter in the car and some scenic hiking routes.

The Barcelona Diaries | April 2018

Travel

So for my birthday this year, I decided I wanted to go somewhere warm, with a beach and a loooooot to see. I didn't have to think too long before coming up with Barcelona which is super easy to reach from my home airport of Nuremberg too! We headed out on Friday 13th of April (like the fearless people that we are haha!) and stayed for 6 nights which is a good amount of time to get the bulk of sightseeing in!

Dresden Love

Travel

So last weekend me and my bestie went on a little weekend getaway to Dresden. We wanted to see more of Germany and visit places neither of us have seen before, as it's always so easy to book that plane ticket to far off cities and beautiful beaches but it's so easy to forget about all the beauty that your home country has to offer. And boy, there's lots of gorgeous German cities worth exploring. For me I knew that Dresden was top of my list of places to see and my friend readily agreed so off we went.

Hello and welcome to the last part of my Ireland Diaries. I know it took me quite a while to get them all up but what with all the recent life changes blogging just didn't come that easy. Anyways, I'm here to tell you about my last couple of days on the island.

The Ireland Diaries | Visiting the Cliffs of Moher

Ireland

Number one on my list of places to visit in Ireland was the Cliffs of Moher. I wanted to go there for the longest time so I was really really excited to finally get the chance and hop on a bus on Thursday to drive up to County Clare and see them "in the flesh". It also meant I had quite an early start on Thursday with my friend going back to work that day and me catching the bus at Patrick's Quay.

The Ireland Diaries | Kinsale, Cobh & Cork

Ireland

On Tuesday, right after our usual breakfast of porridge and tea, we started our day with a walk down to the sea in Clonakilty. We climbed over rocks and enjoyed the sun being out to warm our faces. There were sea gulls crying, tiny waves rolling to shore and fishermen fishing - I wish I could start every day like that.. After our long walk we had more tea and some relaxation before packing our bags and getting into the car to head east along the coast to Kinsale.

The Ireland Diaries | Coastal Views, Gougane Barra & Lakes of Killarney

Ireland

So over the Easter break I spent a lovely week in Ireland, visiting my friend Audrey. I had never been to Ireland before but had planned to visit for the longest time so naturally I came with a long list of places I wanted to see. I had the best time travelling around West Cork and up the West Coast, looking at cliffs and marvelling at the beauty of the Irish coastline, looking at tiny fishing villages and colourful artsy houses all the time accompanied by the best native tour guide a girl could wish for!
