Tunisia during off-season: El Jem
El Jem On our last day in Tunisia we decided to go to El Jem. Organizing a trip was not as difficult: you can pay 120 Dinar to a taxi driver who will bring you there and back or go to the bus station and ask there for the options. At the bus station, we agreed on the [...]
Tunisia during off-season: Dougga, Tunis, Monastir
Dougga UNESCO believes that Dougga represents "the best-preserved Roman small town in North Africa". Indeed, this archaeological site is located two-hour drive from the major cities and therefore was protected from the intrusion of the modern urbanization. Dougga’s impressive size, its well-preserved monuments and its deep Berber, Punic, ancient Roman and Byzantine history make it exceptional. [...]
Выйти замуж в Германии: бюрократическая сторона
В 2018 году, мой молодой человек и я поженились в Берлине. Так как у меня Российское гражданство, мне нужно было подготовить n-ное количество документов, переведенных на немецкий для подачи в загс и на получение разрешения на заключение брака. Честно говоря, это не самый простой и быстрый процесс, отчасти потому что в интернете я не нашла полного и подробного описания [...]
Tunisia during off-season: Sidi Bou Said and Carthage
Sidi Bou Said From the place we stayed in La Marsa, Tunisia, we walked to Sidi Bou Said. The visit to this dreamy white-blue city with a sea view filled my heart with joy. After being there, I don’t need to go to the famous Santorini anymore. You will not miss the main shopping street, Rue Habib Thameur. [...]
Tunisia during off-season: Djerba
We booked our Tunisian holidays in order to get rid of my „rest-vacation-days“ from the last year. The destination has been chosen according to the flight time (not longer than 4 hours from Berlin and from Paris as we were visiting a friend the weekend before the planned departure), ticket costs, temperatures higher than in Berlin and vague remarks [...]
San Blas paradise
One of the reasons why we flew to Columbia over Panama was that eight years ago on his world trip Matthias spent some wonderful time on the San Blas islands and since we started travelling together, he wanted to show me this paradise on Earth. About San Blas Actually, the modern name of San Blas is Guna [...]
What to do in and around Panama City
We spent three nights in Panama City and in my opinion, it is sufficient to get to know the city and explore its surroundings. Panama la Vieja Panama’s capital and largest city was founded in 1519, by Spanish conquistador Pedro Arias Dávila to serve as the starting point for expeditions to the Inca in Peru. Unfortunately, 150 [...]
24 hours to explore Kyoto
On Friday, after work, I decided to go to Kyoto, the former capital of Japan and probably the most attractive city for the tourists in the whole country. As I had only 24 hours in total to get there, stay overnight, visit the city during the day and to get back, I chose the quickest option – to travel [...]
Tokyo: making the best out of one-week business trip
I was lucky to have a business trip to such a faraway and unique country as Japan. Of course, every country is unique in its own was, but for whatever reasons Japan stands out in my mind. I was anticipating this trip since one year and finally it happened. Very often, when you are waiting for something so long, [...]
