In the last months I’ve seen rainforest, tropical beaches, waterfalls and lived in an area of Australia that is said to be one of the most relaxed. And then I came to Brisbane. During our visit I still felt like my clock was ticking in a different rythm. Everybody was hurrying, people were wearing suits […]

Next stop, while we’re at exploring the German countryside: Spreewald. We both like pickles, so that’s a must-see anyway. The town of […]
