A couple of days ago, Pepper Valentine generously nominated me for the Outstanding Blogger Award. I feel very grateful and humbled. Thank you, Pepper, having only recently joined the blogging sphere, this means a lot.

Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge: Pick a topic from my photo
Thank you to Cee for this week's photo challenge. My chosen topic from her picture is "Water".
Travel Favorites: All the colors of the sky (Sunrises)
Hamburg has some of the most spectacular sunrises that I have ever seen anywhere. It might be due to where the city is located on the globe or the constant clouds being a great canvas, but the sun often paints the most magnificent and breathtaking morning spectacles in the sky.
Travel Favorites: Under the sea (Underwater Scenery)
To me, the Red Sea was perfect to try them out. The salt content is so high that you are not really afraid of drowning. Additionally, the coral reefs are gorgeous with colorful fish dipping in and out of its creeks.
Travel Favorites: Sand under my feet (Beaches)
My favorite beaches are scattered across the Hawaiian island of Maui. Whether you want to swim, snorkel, dive, surf or just sunbathing... there is a perfect beach for you somewhere on the island.
“Letter from a Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King Jr.
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. And as far as we have come, we still have a long way to go to reach true equality for everyone.
Life in Colour: Brown
Thank you to Travel Words for this photo challenge. This month's color is "Brown".
Collaboration: Bloggers with a view
Stuck in a tighter radius then usual? Getting tired of your daily view. Then check out this cute collaboration video that The French Chronicles put together. You will also see my living room window view from my Brooklyn apartment 😉
Travel Favorites: Take a chill pill (Vibe)
Sometimes during travel, you want excitement. And sometimes you want to lay back and relax. To me, Barcelona has both.
Travel Favorites: Treasures on every street (Historic Sites)
One of my favorite travel destinations for historic sites is Italy. The country is plastered with historic building and ruins from every time period since the antiquity. I love wandering through its cities and admire remnants of Ancient Rome or the Italian renaissance.
Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge: Color Pink
Thank you to Cee for this week's photo challenge. The picture was taken in Irvington, New York (USA) in Jun 2020.
Travel Favorites: Feeling like royalty (Service)
From the moment we got there, we were treated and pampered at every step of the way. Starting with complementary welcome massages, every room and corridor smelling of fresh flowers, delicious food, great drinks, lovely and approachable staff that seemed to anticipate your every need.
