In Search of Blue

August 31, 2018 by madlennicolaus

Do you have a bucket list of places you definitely want to visit? We definitely have one and Santorini was always on there. Not that we knew much about it or have been to any other Greek islands before. What inspired us were probably the often-shared images of white houses and curved rooftops on top of a cliffside with blue doors and the endless blue skies and waters. Did I mention that blue is my favourite colour? So, it is […]

Midsummer Nights in Sweden

August 31, 2018 by madlennicolaus

My Birthday is on June 21st. The middle of Summer. I think that’s why I love the sunshine so much. I think the only people to enjoy midsummer more than I are probably the Swedes. They have a whole celebration around it that’s unlike anything I’ve seen. It’s like a warm Christmas with Midsummer poles, garlands and dancing (and drinking). It has a history that goes back hundreds of years to Viking times. In fact, they don’t always celebrate Midsummer […]

Hunting Forgotten Giants around Copenhagen

June 29, 2017 by madlennicolaus

Have you ever found giant wooden sculptures on the Internet and said ‘I need to see these for myself’ No? Well, I saw this photo on Instagram and started reading about the art project by Thomas Dambo. How cool is that!? This is what brought us to Copenhagen this month. We’d have got there eventually, but the “Forgotten Giants” edged it to the top of the travel destination list! We had six Giants and four days. The first one we […]

A Tuscan Escape

September 27, 2015 by madlennicolaus

Tuscany. Chianti. Pisa. Siena. Florence. Destinations for any entry level Italy lover. But how was it that in all our years of visiting Italy, we never made it to these fairytale locations? Were we saving the best for last without realising it!? So this month we spent 10 blissful days in the heart of Tuscany. And it was absolutely the best. That’s how I describe it. How was Tuscany? It was the best. Simple as that. From the rolling hills […]
