Mal ohne Familie: Unser Mädelstrip nach Lüttich

Leave a Comment / City trip, Culture, Europe, Long Weekend, Trips without kids /

Nach einer Babypause haben meine beste Freundin und ich uns Ende November drei Tage Lüttich gegönnt – nur wir zwei, ohne Familie, mit viel Zeit zum Reden, Lachen und Durchatmen.
Ein zentrales Hotel mit Spa, überraschend gutes Essen und eine Stadt, die schon leicht weihnachtlich, aber angenehm ruhig war, haben den perfekten Rahmen geschaffen.
Zwischen langen Spaziergängen, beeindruckender Architektur, belgischem Essen und kleinen Pausen hat uns Lüttich mit seiner ehrlichen, unaufgeregten Art komplett abgeholt.
Warum diese Stadt für eine kleine Auszeit ohne Kids genau richtig ist und welche Orte wir besonders empfehlen, lest ihr im ganzen Beitrag.

After five years of vacations in the mountains, in faraway places, or at sea, it was time for a European beach club again. So, at the beginning of October, we spent ten relaxing, sunny days in the eastern Algarve at the Robinson Club Quinta da Ria – and, to be honest, we were completely surprised by how beautiful and peaceful this region is. Far from the typical tourist hotspots, everything here feels more relaxed, authentic, and less crowded. Especially during the off-season, this was a real advantage for us as a family.Besonders empfehlen können wir Ausflüge nach Tavira, Loulé und Olhão: charmante Altstädte, entspannte Atmosphäre und erstaunlich günstige Park- und Lebenshaltungskosten. In der Nebensaison war es angenehm leer, was unseren Urlaub besonders erholsam gemacht hat. Insgesamt ein wunderbarer Familienurlaub – den ganzen Bericht jetzt auf unserem Blog.

Suitcases packed, lines set sail – a cruise with kids

Leave a Comment / Adventure place, Beach and Sea, City trip, Cruise, Europe, Nature, Trips with kids /

Many people associate cruises with shuffleboard, buffets, and retirees – but that image is outdated. More and more families are discovering the joys of cruising, as onboard cruises often feature kids’ clubs, pools, and endless leisure activities. Parents can relax while the kids play and have fun. Another advantage is that you only pack once and see many places. Of course, there are also disadvantages: cabins are smaller, extras can be expensive, and you have to keep a close eye on the children. Ocean-going ships offer plenty of entertainment but are often more crowded. River cruises are quieter, more manageable, and closer to the cities. Our conclusion: cruises aren’t a magic bullet, but they can be a special family experience – if you choose the right type of trip. Read our blog post to find out what makes each type of cruise appealing!

After my girlfriend and I went to London during my family-free time last time, this time it was all about wellness. At least in terms of themes; we can never sit still long enough to explore the surrounding area at some point. We wanted to arrive by car and drive for no more than 2.5

A somber remembrance: My visit to Auschwitz and Birkenau

I can’t really explain why exactly, but visiting the former concentration and extermination camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau has been a priority for me for a long time. The day trip there was a deeply moving experience, but one I wouldn’t want to miss! Especially in these times of political uncertainty, it’s not wrong to

On our first day in Krakow, we were fortunate enough to explore the city and its history with our private tour guide, Jadwiga. In the sunshine and spring-like temperatures, Jadwiga was brimming with myths, facts, and legends – she’s a walking encyclopedia! We were out for less than an hour and couldn’t keep up with
