Yes, some people won't understand why we didn't fly to the carnival capital in the Rhineland for Carnival, but the carnival in Cyprus is so fantastic; you really have to experience it for yourself. It's crazy how different, but also how beautiful the carnival is here. A week before Women's Carnival Day, most of the shops here close, and the owners set up grills and provide drinks. Anyone passing by is welcome to help themselves to food and drinks, all free of charge. (Donatio

We had planned five days in Zurich. Unfortunately, things turned out a little differently. We braved the cold and wet weather in Zurich in February 2025. This week started off quite stressful on the plane and ended with us missing our connecting flight in Vienna. We flew with Austrian Airlines and we have to say we were very satisfied.

And believe it or not, just a week later, our f

After we had organized everything so perfectly, we were finally able to set off. Our first long-distance flight was about to begin. We flew with Emirates, and everything was perfect. After landing in Dubai, we took a taxi to our hotel, which was like a city tour in itself. Our hotel was almost forty kilometers away ❤️ and beautifully situated on the Dubai Marina. Our hotel, the Rove Marina, was absolutely fantastic! Great service from Omar and everyone else, wonderful rooms,

In mid-November 2024, after two and a half years of planning and preparation, we set off on our big trip to Cyprus. Our new home. So we can start our world trip from there in 2025. After we decided to leave Germany, we started selling everything. House, furniture, clothes—everything.. Except for my car and our beloved bicycles. But even those were lost after we tried to ship them to Cyprus, which firstly wouldn't have been cheap and secondly would have been a bit difficult to
