I like sleeping in hotels. The room is always (unlike my apartment) tidied up, there’s always fresh linen on the bed and I love cuddling under my blanket after a long day, turning on the TV, setting the sleep timer on 45 minutes and falling asleep. But there’s one thing which gives me a hard fight. Every night. First: to get rid of the scatter cushions and decorative cover. And then the worst: the fight with the blanket. You’re tearing [...]
Egypt, the Nile. Sigh. Yes. Sailing down the longest river in the world has been on my bucket list since ever.

No sign of children – neither of adults but THIS is another story When they asked me if I want to spend [...]

The best thing about hotels for me is that I can watch TV from bed. I love that. And taking a bath. Why? Because I have no TV in my bedroom at home and no bathtub in my bathroom. Is there anything better [...]
Some hotels just exist so you don’t have to sleep under a bridge in another city. Other hotels are so damn sexy, you don’t want to leave your room. And then there are hotels which are just different. They have a motto, a theme, a something. Sometimes it suites them, sometimes it doesn’t. And some hotels give you mischief-ish ideas… “I’m currently loading furniture through the window into my car” – Please do not disturb Well, to be honest, I [...]
