It has been a couple of years since Frenchie and I went to Verbier for the very first time - and fell in love! So when we had the opportunity to come back and bring Clara, we were more than ready to jump on the first airplane to Geneva!

Did you know that… In my very young days I worked as a ski guide in Austria. It was an amazing time! I had so much fun! There’s just something about ski holidays, that you can’t explain. You simply need to experience it! It is such a wonderful way to stay in touch with nature

First Time Cruisers: Iona – The Newest Ship in The World

Louise — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 09:39:07 +0000

"Are you ready to see the world in widescreen?” These are the words, that P&O Cruises use when describing their newest and most innovative ship “Iona”. And after having spent 14 days on Iona, I can honestly say, that she most certainly is designed to invite the outdoors in. What makes her stand out are places like the stunning SkyDome, the three-tier glass Grand Atrium and the brand-new Conservatory Mini-suite cabins, where we stayed!

Clara Takes Broadway at Conrad London St.James

Being a family travel blogger, I’ve visited a lot of family-friendly hotels! There is nothing worse that taking your little one to a place, where you can feel, that people are annoyed by the presence of “Curious George.” This was certainly not the case at Conrad London St. James, where my family and I spent a wonderful weekend in the beginning of October.

A Weekend Stay at Britain’s Biggest Houseboat “Matrix Island”

Louise — Mon, 04 Oct 2021 19:01:07 +0000

"An experience of a lifetime!" These are the first words, that come to my mind, when thinking about our amazing weekend on board "Matrix Island"...

I had no idea, that a place like this existed! Forgot about the usual dark and dingo canal boat interiors "Matrix Island" dispels all misconceptions and proves that life on the water can be super luxurious and stylish

Back to Beautiful Bordeaux

Louise — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 21:45:55 +0000

I can’t believe it has been almost two years, since Clara and I went to Bordeaux with Frenchie to see his parents. Lockdown life has been tough, hasn’t it? So no doubt, our trip back to Bordeaux would be emotional and full of joy! Clara saw her grandparents for the first time in what seems like ages, and they were SO happy to see her. Talk about being the centre of attention!

My Birthday Dinner at The Kensington Hotel

Louise — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 15:26:31 +0000

Time flies, doesn’t it! I can’t believe that we are already in August - which also means, that this lioness is celebrating her birthday… This year, Frenchie and I had decided, that we wanted to have a date-night on my birthday (without our wonderful, but very “busy” little 3-year old daughter) The Kensington Hotel in London has always been a favourite of mine, so that’s where we went!

It has been a while, since my family and I were able to leave our home for a couple of days… And how we longed for it! Just getting away to a lovely place, where we could enjoy a bit of luxury and still feel relaxed...

On a cold and windy autumn day in London, something very special happened. My family and I were invited to stay at Marriott Park Lane London for two nights - and Clara was the star of the show (as always!)
