Dodging clouds, discovering sunshine in between and finding inspiration below I found myself on a tiny 12-seat prop plane on my way from Nassau to Staniel Cay (note that ‘cay’ is always pronounced as ‘key’) in the Bahamas. The captain briefly announced our flight plan; 28 minutes to Black Point Cay to drop off a few passengers and then a quick 5-minute flight from there to Staniel Cay. There are not many passengers on board; these planes are small but everyone on the flight seems to know each other. One […]

On 19 August 2020, at 14:19, baby Aurora Wolteck was born in Dettingen Konstanz on the border between Germany and Switzerland, completely unaware of the Arctic adventure that had unfolded nine months earlier. But let us go back even further, to the day in 2009, when two young people, Nathalie and Benjamin, now 30 and 33 years old, were introduced to each other through a mutual friend while hiking near Lake Constance. It was friendship at first smile, and a few years later their friendship evolved into love. In December […]

Words that come to mind when referring to the island of Mo’orea include ethereal, mysterious, remote, undeveloped and exotic. I’ve long built up the mystique of this island in my mind based upon stories my mother related from a several month trip she took to the South Pacific in the 1960s. Mo’orea was by far her favorite island in the French Polynesia. While Mo’orea has certainly changed since those days, a visit to the island is like walking back in time to some extent – and compared to the relative […]

When I was a kid I did not want to get a dog or a kitten. I did not even want toys for presents! Everybody was surprised by my wish because I expressed it from very small age and everyone was wondering why. I wanted to see how it does it feel to be next to the most gigantic animal on the planet. How does it feel to watch it walking, eating, and taking care of its children? I wanted to see an elephant. My wish grew bigger as the […]

  It may sound like a crock of balderdash to start out a review of a luxury resort with a statement about how happy the employees seem. Or that the property has transformed an area by emphasizing local hiring and local artists. But cross my heart, the service people weren’t smiling at Maryland’s MGM National Harbor resort because they were Westworld robots. And the place has such regional roots that the very clay from the property construction diggings was the literal hands-on material for a giant artwork map that greets […]

This is the sequel to my first post and this one is all about my stay in Antalya. Our trip to Turkey was two weeks long; eight days were spent in Antalya and six days in Istanbul. Although we initially planed to go to Cappadocia, Fethiye and Pamukkale, ultimately we weren’t up for all the extra travel and hassle. If you have the time and energy to do so, than definitely check these places out as they are often a part of visitor’s typical travel itinerary. As for what went […]

Disclaimer: this post is all written in good humor 🙂 My most recent holiday, which is also the one that I get asked about the most – was to Turkey in early June of this year. I had recently graduated and there was no hope of a Swedish summer ever showing up (no surprise here!), so my husband and I packed up our gear, planned a spontaneous getaway with an open itinerary (like we usually do) and went on a quest for warm, sunny weather to make us forget about the […]

What is a holiday of a lifetime? We have all heard this claim at one time or another… but in our neck of the woods we hear it all the time. Things like “best ever…”, “can’t wait to do it again…”, “at last we found paradise…” are just a few of the comments that have become synonymous with a sailing vacation in the British Virgin Islands. Surprisingly… many people don’t know that such vacations are possible and many that are aware that such vacations are possible… well… think that such […]
