Heidelberg

Some people say Heidelberg is Germany's most inspiring city. Walking along its streets lined with charming houses, it is easy to justify this claim. It is, after all, one of the most important tourist destinations in Germany.

Munich, My New Love

After spending two weeks learning German and living like a local, Munich has come to occupy a very special place in my heart. Its beautiful streets lined with impressive buildings and meticulously tended gardens, especially the vast Englischer Garten, the abundance of beer gardens and a pervading cheerful southern German atmosphere are some of the aspects that I really appreciate about this city, also known as “Toytown” for its easygoing attitude, extremely high quality of life and low levels of crime.

Britanny

I took a week off from work at the end of April, and travelled along Brittany’s northern coast by bike. Due to its isolation, Britanny has kept a distinct Celtic heritage. Thanks to the abundance of beautiful beaches, Britanny often finds itself in competition with the Côte d’Azur region in southern France for the title of France’s favorite holiday destination. If I had to choose my favourite region in France, Brittany would be it!
