The Ultimate 2-week Itinerary for Namibia
Namibia is one of my favourite places to travel to. Of course, I’m somewhat biased because it’s my home – but that doesn’t change the fact that it is uniquely beautiful and incredibly diverse. A trip to Namibia offers so many amazing experiences. From the lush green landscape of the North, to the barren lands of the Namib Desert, the largest canyon in Africa, as well as a huge variety of wildlife, Namibia has so much to explore. Even after having lived there for 18 years, and taking 2 trips through the country, I still haven’t seen everything it has to offer. I went on one of these trips very…

The Ultimate Guide to Sossusvlei and Deadvlei
A road trip through Namibia should be on everyone’s bucket list. It is an incredibly unique country, with diverse landscapes, ranging from desert to flourishing green riversides, mountains and beaches. Any decent roadtrip should take you to one of the most special little places, Sossusvlei. Sossusvlei, and more specifically Deadvlei, is by far the most popular tourist destination in Namibia. There is something so magical about the valley of white clay and fossilised trees surrounded by tall red sand dunes. Though it is so popular among tourists, it is quite remote, which means that it is luckily never completely flooded with people. Before you leave for Sossusvlei, stock up in…

The Ultimate Guide to Vehicle Renting and Driving in Namibia
A road trip through Namibia is an exciting, unique adventure. The country is beautiful and extremely diverse, and with a name meaning ‘a vast place’, it’s no wonder a lot of time will be spent traveling from place to place. Driving in Namibia is, however, a bit different from everywhere else. Unfortunately, Namibia is not known for its exquisite road quality. In fact, a lot of the country is connected only by gravel roads instead of tar. Of course, in the cities this is not the case, but if you want to travel to places like Sossusvlei, Fish River Canyon, and Etosha National Park, you’ll definitely come across some rough…

The Most Amazing Travel Route in Europe
Planning a trip to Europe can be overwhelming, especially if you want to city hop – and, let’s face it, staying in just one city isn’t exactly worth the couple hundred dollars you’ll pay for a flight. As someone who’s been traveling around Europe for a few years now, I feel qualified to plan such a trip. I’ve planned out 3 routes, each for a different kind of traveler, each visiting lots of different cities. Of course, you can follow these as they are or just as a rough idea. Each travel route in Europe is easily adjusted – you can add extra stops or cut some cities off the…

How to Travel Lightly – My 10 Best Packing Tips
If you’re planning on traveling anywhere nowadays, you’ll find packing to be one of the trickiest parts. Prices for extra luggage on flights have skyrocketed (pun intended) and it just isn’t sustainable anymore. Learning how to travel lightly is key. I just find that paying an extra 80€ for luggage when the flight itself only costs 25€ is really annoying and a complete waste. It’s also not always the most practical thing to be lugging around a huge suitcase. I’ve recently discovered the magic of traveling only with hand luggage, or, on shorter flights, with just a backpack. It does take a bit more work and sacrifice, but most of…

Want to plan a trip to Europe? Not sure what to expect? Lucky for you, I’ve got a detailed list of dos and don’ts for a trip to Europe. You might think, ‘What makes you qualified to tell me what culture shocks I might experience?’ Well, that’s because I’ve lived it myself. Though I live in Europe now, I only moved here at 24. I recently planned a month-long trip through Europe, during which I visited 5 countries and 14 cities. But between you and me, I still experience the ‘foreigner’ feeling on a daily basis, even though I’ve been here for over 3 years. DOs: 1. Consider buying an…
