We spent a long time deciding where to go on our first trip, and we had actually already finalized our plans for Indonesia. But then we saw a video about Vietnam and immediately fell in love with the country. So we started planning our trip to Vietnam. We researched buses and trains in Vietnam and, after much deliberation, decided to travel the entire distance from south to north, almost 4,000 km, by motorbike. I had just gotten my motorbike license shortly before we left Ger

This may sound strange, but it's true. When we first visited this beautiful island, we didn't give it a second thought. How could there possibly be a water shortage on an island? Of course, we didn't pay attention to our water consumption while showering, washing dishes, or brushing our teeth. However, we now think differently.

A good question, which our daughter asked us during her visit. To be honest, we hadn't really thought about it before. We always assumed that Cypriots earned their money from fishing, building houses and roads, or even from hotels and restaurants. Of course, we became very curious and started exploring the area around Paphos. We've been living in Paphos since November 2024, and we learn something new every day. It's true that there's hardly any agriculture on the island, exce

Suddenly, everything happened very quickly. The last time we returned from Dubai, my husband expressed a wish to spend New Year's Eve there someday to see the breathtaking fireworks. After living in Uthweiler for a while, we developed a very good friendship with our landlords. So much so that during an evening together on their lovely terrace, we came up with the idea of ​​spending Christmas and New Year's Eve together in Dubai. And believe it or not, just a week later, our f
