A lot of people coming to Copenhagen end up asking the same question: what’s worth seeing outside the city? Something you can reach within an hour or two, easy to turn into a fun day trip. So, inspired by that question, I put together a list of some of my favorite places nearby. I hope … Read more

With the new year comes the annual recap of the previous one, slightly delayed but better late than never. Let’s jump back on the same wagon as everyone else 🙂 If I had to sum up 2025 in one word, it would be change. Early in the year I found out I was pregnant, and … Read more
We were looking for a Christmas market that would feel calm and easy with a newborn. Somewhere without big crowds, where we could just stroll and take things slowly. I came across an ad on Facebook about Christmas in Frilandsmuseet. I’d never been there during Christmas, and it had been years since my last visit, … Read more
We chose Mallorca for our extended weekend getaway mostly because I found cheap flights, and honestly, we didn’t know much about the place other than it being a Spanish island where, supposedly, Germans go to party. So our expectations weren’t exactly high. We just wanted some sunshine, warm water, and a few days to completely … Read more
Cap de Formentor is one of the most stunning places in Mallorca and easily one of the best spots to catch the sunset. It’s the northernmost point of the island and part of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage site. At the very end of the rugged peninsula stands a lighthouse, reached by … Read more
Over the Easter break, we decided to spend a week in Turkey — we were after something warm, affordable, and full of culture.

Most people visit Selçuk with one goal in mind — to see Ephesus. And while Ephesus absolutely deserves the spotlight, the town of Selçuk itself has plenty of hidden gems.

Ephesus (or Efes in Turkish) is one of the largest and most impressive open-air archaeological museums in the world, and it absolutely deserves a spot on your Turkey itinerary. Located near the town of Selçuk in Izmir Province, it was once the capital of Roman Asia Minor and a major hub of commerce, religion, and … Read more
Getting to Ephesus from Izmir was both easy and complicated — depending on how organized you are (we weren’t 😅). The good news is, several train options can take you directly or indirectly to Selçuk, the town closest to the Ephesus ruins. The bad news? Figuring out which ticket you need and where to buy it … Read more
We didn’t have much time in Izmir — we mainly chose it as our base for visiting Ephesus — but even during our short stay, we managed to find plenty of interesting things to do and see.

We spent four incredible days exploring Istanbul, and let me tell you — it wasn’t nearly enough! We managed to cover most of the city’s famous sights, but by the end of each day our feet were exhausted and our list of “places we still want to see” somehow kept growing. I guess that means … Read more
Whenever we travel, we have this little tradition — instead of collecting magnets or other souvenirs, we like to take photos of ourselves in local or historical outfits. It’s our favorite way to bring a piece of the trip home — and honestly, flipping through those photos later always brings back the best memories. So … Read more
After a few days of nonstop walking and sightseeing through Istanbul, we decided it was time to slow down and treat ourselves to some relaxation — and that’s how we discovered the magic of the Turkish hammam (bathhouse). A little spa time felt like exactly what we needed to recharge before diving back into Istanbul’s … Read more
I was almost sure I wouldn’t make it to Tivoli for Halloween this year. My due date is just a few days away, and the weather hasn’t exactly been on my side. But then one afternoon, the sun decided to show up, and my fiancé suggested we go together, a little “last date” as a couple … Read more

While googling what there is to see in the area, Schwerin Castle immediately caught my eye. It looked so picturesque that I couldn’t resist adding it to the list.

Lübeck was perhaps the biggest surprise of our trip. We chose it almost on impulse—it was the largest city in the area we were exploring, and we were curious to see what it was like.
