The adventure '3Kids - 3 Months - 3 Continents' was a great success and now we return as a strengthened family to our everyday life. Unfortunately, three months have passed. It...

An authorized taxi for crossing the border takes us from Malaysia to Singapore on the day of departure. The Uber and Grab vehicles that we have been using frequently do not...

By bus, we travel to the southernmost point of Malaysia to the border town of Johor Bahru. We move into a large apartment on the 37th floor of a newly completed skyscraper...

From Kuala Lumpur we continue our journey to the coastal city of Malacca, which is also highly recommended in the Lonely Planet. Malacca indeed has a lot to offer. It is a...

Nightlife in Kuala Lumpur is definitely appealing to us, but we have to make compromises with our three kids in tow. This ultimately means that we visit the city's rooftop bars...

After two rather unconvincing stations in Malaysia (Langkawi and Penang), the capital Kuala Lumpur brings the turning point. I feel comfortable immediately in the metropolis of...

The last island we visit on our island hopping tour is Penang. Here, too, we travel from Langkawi by ferry and then take a car from Uber to the rented apartment in Georgetown....

For the first time, we are traveling to Malaysia and arriving on the island of Langkawi by ferry - the 'Mallorca' of Malaysia. The immigration process is very simple, and we are...

Schon als wir mit dem Speedboot die kleine Insel Koh Lipe ansteuern wird es mir warm ums Herz. Ich 'verliebe' mich direkt in diese nur 2.5km breite und 2km lange Insel in der...

March 17th to 21st: From Krabi, we take a ferry to Koh Lanta. Originally, we didn't plan on renting a car and wanted to travel 'alternatively' in Asia. Even after arriving in...

March 13-17: We set foot on Thai soil in Phuket and stay overnight in a hotel near the airport. It's already evening and we plan to continue to Krabi tomorrow. Bo organizes a...

March 9th to 12th: Over four days, we explore Hong Kong step by step. Mostly using the local Metro MTR, bus, ferries, and also on foot. It works very well. The kids are always...

March 8th: 'This is a really old country' is the first impression our four-year-old Ma gives of Hong Kong. We are entering new territory. We are sitting in a taxi and he is...

March 5th: Almost seven years ago, we took the decisive step in our lives here in New Zealand, at the beach in Devenport. All alone with our family, casually dressed in white...

March 4th to 7th: From our special accommodation in Albany, we take various day trips. Even though it's always difficult to get the kids away from the farm with the animals. The...

4. bis 7. März: Nach unserem Aufenthalt in einer eher bescheidenen Cabin auf dem Campingplatz in Russel sind Bo und ich froh, für uns in der Auckland-Region eine 'luxuriösere'...

Feb 28 to March 3: With a heavy heart, we leave the idyllic boathouse and drive to the town of Russel, located 40km away. To avoid a big detour around the fjords, we take the...

23rd to 27th Feb: After just one day in Auckland, we head north to Kerikeri. Before we start, however, we meet with a German family that we originally wanted to meet in Germany...

Feb 21: Let me start this post with a conclusion: flying with kids against time is not recommended. And it's not just the kids who experience jet lag. But let's start from the...

Feb 20: We use our last day in Australia to do some sightseeing in Perth. The kids aren't really excited about the upcoming day trip and would rather stay at the 'awesome'...

Feb 16: Upon the request of a little lady, we visited a small zoo with native Australian animals. Fa still wanted to see a koala, which is hardly possible in the Perth area in...

14th to 15th Feb: We return to Bunbury and Bo visits the hospital with Fa again. Meanwhile, I stay with the boys at the campground and we do the laundry, tidy up the camper,...

9th to 13th of Feb: We continue our planned tour along the coast to the south. With a child on crutches, everything is a bit slower. But we make the best of it. Fa has no more...

On the Seychelles, my husband became a baker. Until then, I had no idea that these qualities were in him. So far, the children had only attested to him making the better...

Feb 8th: In the morning, we are suddenly woken up by Bo, who comes back from jogging and excitedly tells us about dolphins in the bay. We quickly gather ourselves and run like...

Feb 7th: After Fa complains of severe pain in her right foot in the morning and adamantly refuses to put any weight on her foot, we decide to go directly to a hospital. The...

Feb 5-6: We leave Perth on the day of arrival and head south to Fremantle. Amazing coastal areas and red earth typical of Down Under bring the typical Australian feeling. Fa...

4th Feb: Upon landing in Perth, we realize that apparently only the adults did not fare well after the 12-hour flight. We are exhausted and the jet lag is greeting us. One...

On our way to Perth, we spend a night and a day in Abu Dhabi, the largest of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi presents itself as a modern metropolis...

25th Jan - 2nd Feb: A five-hour flight brings us closer to the equator to the tropical island group of the Seychelles. We land in Victoria, the smallest capital city in the...
