'Goldy' - not everything that glitters is gold (but rather glass)

We are staying for two nights in and around the Gold Coast. As far as I understand, both the city, which has incorporated many small towns over time, and the coastal region with...

See you, Australia!

Since I really enjoyed the Blue Mountains the first time, I decided to go again for the Great Canyon Track. Really cool. Almost 500m downhill into a canyon with jungle vibes, and...

New Year and back to work | Week 14 | 01.01. - 07.01.24

Christmas Eve + Visit | Week 12 | 18.12-24.12.23

Work & Beach | Week 10| 04.12-10.12

I've been in Australia for 2 months now. Time passes super quickly here. The Christmas spirit doesn't really arise when it's 30 degrees and there are no Christmas markets....
