Girls trip in Iceland. Day three: Southern Iceland
This day was a hard-driving day: we spent more than 5 hours on the road, 400 km driven. However, driving in Iceland was pleasant, even enjoyable.

Girls trip to Iceland. Day one: Reykjavik
Iceland was on the top of my bucket list since I have moved to Germany. Unfortunately, my boyfriend has already made this trip with his friends, so this year it was finally my turn to fly to the "Land of Fire and Ice" with my girls. We were three girls in one small car five days on [...]
Ethiopian adventures: before you go
Here are some important things, which you have to know before heading to Ethiopia. Safety Probably, the most essential concern you will have before travelling to Ethiopia is safety.

Ethiopian adventures: the Rock-Hewn Churches of Lalibela
Lalibela: to see it all in three hours Only in the bus to Lalibela, we took the decision to take a tour to the Danakil depression which would last at least three days.

Ethiopian adventures: from Addis Abeba to Dessie

We started in Addis Abeba and of all places of attraction we visited Lalibela (it took us two days to reach it), Erta Ale volcano and Danakil depression (on a three-day tour). After the tour we flew back to [...]
