Bali oder Lombok?

Wer auf die Touristeninsel Bali keine Lust hat, kann auf die Nachbarinsel Lombok und die vorgelagerten Gili Islands ausweichen. Welche Insel mehr zu bieten hat und ob Lombok tatsächlich das bessere Bali ist, haben wir für 10 Tage getestet.

Die Bali Experience

Wer war eigentlich noch nicht auf Bali? Gefühlt war ich bis vor kurzem so ziemlich die einzige unter meinen Freunden und Bekannten, die noch nicht den perfekten Wellen und hippen Cafés der tropischen Insel gefrönt hat. Ob das vermeintliche Paradies für Surfer, Yogis und Instagrammer wirklich hält, was es verspricht, habe ich mir die letzten 3 Wochen angeschaut.

A blogger’s nightmare

It took me 3 months and 15 days to write this blogpost. Not because I lacked inspiration or couldn’t find the time to do it, but because I got fed up with blogging.

Besser als gute Vorsätze

Mit den Vorsätzen für das neue Jahr ist das so eine Sache. Sich etwas vorzunehmen und Ziele zu stecken ist gut. Trotzdem sollten wir uns fragen, wie weit die guten Absichten gehen müssen.

Give yourself some damn credit

Why is it that we are so quick to acknowledge the achievements of others, but so slow to acknowledge our own?

6AM Club

Working out before work, soaking in some fresh air and giving myself positive energy for the day – the idea of early morning exercise sounded great. Until I realized what it really meant to be a member of the 6AM club.

Busy making a life

Would you rather have more time or more money? Some weeks ago I had to make that decision and it was an easy choice.

A sunrise hiker’s checklist

It was 4 am when my alarm clock went off. I am usually one of the snooze button hitters, but not this time. The day before, I had talked a friend into doing a sunrise hike with me and I had promised to pick him up at 5am.

The thing with expectations

Is the key to more happiness really keeping your expectations low? What can you actually expect from yourself and others? Is there something like healthy or realistic expectations?

At the speed of life

Time has been speeding by lately. In my head there was this list of things I wanted to do, see, learn and create this summer. There was supposed to be plenty of room for all of it and yet, here I am wondering where the days went.

Califor.Nia

Don’t worry. This is not just another travel advice or a ‘10 places to visit in California’ article. This blogpost is to share how I personally perceived some of the places I visited in Southern California during the last couple of weeks.

Going solo

Traveling alone is intensely personal. It’s all about you figuring it out on your own. And it sure feels good – for some time. So here I am on my first solo trip (if you don’t count my semester abroad as a trip) spending some quality time with myself.
