Mallorca 9 – 11 Feb 2026
Otro viaje a Mallorca! A la isla que me deja ser libre. Trasladé nuestra empresa de Barcelona a Palma y disfruté estar allí. I have experienced all the seasons on the island, and I have to say that they all have their own charm! This time I was there on business, and it felt oh

24 hours in Berlin
The first trip in 2026. And it was all about the girls. Santa gave Johanne tickets for the Cirque de Soleil Alizé show and it was absolutely brilliant. It was freezing and Mr Frost was keen to keep us all huddled up. We took public transport everywhere and while we waited, we enjoyed talking and

December 2025, Naturhotel Forsthofgut, Leogang
Oh, what a lovely few days that was. A home away from home is never a given, it’s always a risk. In this case, it was welcoming, cosy and delicious. And despite the many sweet children, nothing felt too much and the division of hustle bustle to peace & quiet was nicely done. If you

12 hours in Zürich, November 2025
A quick hop and a skip to Zürich for a meeting and an event. Uber, train, plane, train, tram, legs. I literally commuted as efficiently as you might assume a Swiss trip could be. With the smell of fondue and the sound of Schweeeeezer Deutsch, I walked from here to there stopping for some photos

October 2025, Mallorca, autumn holidays
Mallorca is becoming our second home as it establishes itself as a place we love to be and where there is enough to keep everyone happy. This time we stayed in Soller. I love it there. Nestled in the valley surrounded by beautiful lush trees and with the coastal breeze sneaking in whenever the wind

September 2025, London to Arbikie
Christmas 2024 gift turns into reality. It took some planning and it took a while until we made the trip happen. But it happened. We flew to London Gatwick, spent the afternoon at Borough Market and had dinner at Nopi. Just as delicious as last time. And at 21:15 we hopped onto the Caledonian Express

August 2025, Roadtrip to Sweden
Bielefeld to Hamburg via Buxterhude, then onto Malmö via Fehmarn. Final destination Aneby in Sweden. We love travelling in our van. The trip was full of special moments. And besides that it gave us the time to talk, agree to disagree, and make plans. We met up with some friends in Sweden and it felt

“Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Oh, Verona what a weekend that was. What a quaint city full of good food and beautiful architecture.

June 2025, T’loo
Family time again! My fourth time, and it was just lovely. We celebrated a 16th birthday, and we celebrated life. Zwolle was a delight. The market, the museum (I’ve never noticed before), and the small shops and the tight alleys. Thank you for this invaluable family time.

Texas 16-23 May 2025
Joseph left for Texas September 2024. And I was super keen to visit him. I wanted to understand how he navigates through his life far away from home. And I can safely say, he is doing very well. Three boys to look after, mile and miles of interstate to cover, and then there’s the heat.

Hamburg, 10/11 May 2025
We opened the van life season 2025. But not before it took all the creativity I had to get the van out from between a rock and a hard place! Hamburg was sunny, fun, and very welcoming. We spent hours (that’s what it felt like) on a peddle boat. Looking at the beautiful houses canal-side.
