Among the many places on earth that I love, there are few that I could call my home. Or, second home. This is one of them – beautiful lake Wolfgangsee in Austria. Where once the emperor spent his vacation time, people are still in a rather relaxed mood. You can feel that this place once […]
Read more "The Mountain Lake"I love coming to Bangkok over and over again. This city is so fully packed with surprises and is changing dynamically, I think I can never get tired of it. There are thousands of beautiful restaurants and flavors to try, and even more shops with all the exotic things you can imagine. Plus, Bangkok seems […]
Read more "Bangkok Confidential"In recent years, there has been a tremendous development in golf courses all over the island of Puerto Rico. But there is one place that falls out of line because of its accumulation of world-class courses alongside some of the most spectacular coastline and beaches on the island: Coco Beach, Rio Grande. Before, this peninsula […]
Read more "Puerto Rico’s Golf Heaven"As ticket prices get cheaper every day, we can see positions like taxes and fees going up constantly. Almost every airline makes revenues in fees, fuel surcharge, booking fees etc. Very few people know that – at least in Europe – these items are refundable, even if the ticket itself states that it is not […]
Read more "Refunds for Non-Refundable Tickets?"Phuket is one of these few places in Thailand I normally really don’t like to go too much.

The differentiation of airlines is more and more difficult, as inflight entertainment systems and cabin design gets more and more standardized (and reduced). The only way for an airline […]
Read more "The Real Sky Train"This place has always fascinated me. The crossroads of crazy party people and jetset from all around the world, busy all year round, always glamorous but never friendly. And still, this is the place where a lot of magic happens: South Beach. I like to come here every other year or so, mainly to catch […]
Read more "Eat Away in South Beach"Airplane food can be very different, depending on the airline. But in most airlines, let’s face it, it sucks. Not only do they serve overcooked, tasteless meals – in many cases it’s always the same choice: Chicken or Pasta. Honestly, some of the airlines out there would be better off by not serving any food […]
Read more "5 ways to eat better on airplanes"Thailand is one of these places where I could take an entire suitcase full of food back home. And, occasionally, I do. And not only food: From cutlery, ceramic dishes, small ceramic containers – everything is nice here. On the Chattuchak weekend market in Bangkok, these items sell for a steal. But back to food. […]
Read more "Thailand Food Shopping"Traveling is not only great for discovering new places, try new dishes and savor the world, but also for food shopping. I always leave space in my luggage to bring home food items from abroad to fill my international pantry. And yes, I’ve got a huge selection there. While nowadays many things are available in […]
