Food Tour Lisbon
One afternoon during my long weekend I had booked a food tour in Lisbon with a local guide, to show us not only traditional Portuguese food, but also introduce us to the small businesses and family run restaurants in the Alfama and surrounding districts. A lot of them have been driven out by chains, by unpayable rents and cheap imported…

Long weekend in Amsterdam
This is not an itinerary for someone who has never been to Amsterdam before, you won't find the standard touristy advice here. Rather I want to give you an idea of what to do, where to eat and what to see during a long weekend in Amsterdam when you are just on a short city getaway.

2 Days in Limerick – Ireland
Limerick was admittedly not on my list originally. I had planned to include Cork or the ring of Kerry on this trip but instead decided to postpone that for another time. So I spent my last two days in Limerick.

Connemara National Park & Kylemore Abbey Tour
From Galway – Ireland, I went on Connemara National Park & Kylemore Abbey Tour for a day, which I probably wouldn’t have chosen if I hadn’t seen the Cliffs of Moher before. If you have to choose between the two it depends on what you are more interested in: Connemara National Park is a lot calmer than the Cliffs of…

The country fascinated me, so I decided to come back eight years later to see more and in more detail. I spend 4 days…

Teeling Whiskey Distillery Tour & Tasting
When in Ireland, as a person who likes Whiskey and is interested in the techniques and different approaches to its creation I had several distilleries on my list. The Teeling Whiskey Distillery Tour was the only one I was able to take part in during this trip and it was a great experience to visit the only new Distillery in…

Northern Spain – Visit Asturias
At this point I’m considering travelling during shoulder season for most European countries. Fewer people, less expensive, but still just as beautiful. This year I went to visit Asturias, a coastal region in Northern Spain. I stayed in the town Oviedo, but spent most of time exploring the countryside. Asturias and the Costa Verde blew me away with their natural…

One week in Denmark with a dog
Just before the main summer season started we spent one week in Denmark with a dog, more precisely my parents' dog. Travelling with a dog is a different kind of adventure and comes with different challenges than solo travel (which is what I usually do). We chose a destination close to us, so we wouldn't have to drive more than…
