So off I go again. The destination is Sweden with my best friend Jeffrey. Bundy attempts his ‘guilt-trip for mommy who is going on a trip again’ eyes and sulks. Thank GOD he can’t talk! Dubai Airport – me and the monkey have known each other for almost 10 years now and he still looks… Continue reading Sweden / Adventures in Stockholm / Dine with a star at Ekstedt – the Michelin type

Dubai / Happy ending – Be careful what you wish for!
Why wait to get sick to create a bucket list?? Now is always the best time. I have been wanting to snap out of everyday life as we know it since last year, looking for the next place to lay my hat and try a different approach to life. I had no idea how I… Continue reading Dubai / Happy ending – Be careful what you wish for!
Dubai / Smiling BKK – Cute and quirky Thai restaurant in Dubai
Think of Hulk Hogan = not cute. Think of him as a little baby = cute. Small and teeny tiny = cute (no matter what). One of the reasons why I love this restaurant. It is teeny tiny, quirky and super cute. It is seriously well hidden. Makes you think of an eccentric artist that makes… Continue reading Dubai / Smiling BKK – Cute and quirky Thai restaurant in Dubai
India / Goa / Oasis / Ashvem / La Plage – Goodbye for now India!
Oasis Resort I wake up in the Oasis Resort to a beautiful morning way too early. Great way to make my final day longer. I am doing 2 of my favorite things here – book & hammock. The skies are blue and all of the new age ‘being in the present’ and ‘enjoying the now’… Continue reading India / Goa / Oasis / Ashvem / La Plage – Goodbye for now India!
India / Goa / Ashiyana / Oasis Resort / beach chill day
I have cats – 2 of them. My regular first thing in the morning usually consists of waking up to sweet, warm kitty cat snuggles then surrendering to the real world: hair, (rush) make-up, suit, heels, car, (rush) traffic, (rush, rush, rush)… My first thing in the morning has turned into waking up in my bamboo… Continue reading India / Goa / Ashiyana / Oasis Resort / beach chill day
India / Goa / Anjuna Flea Market / Cafe Looda – We flee to the flea market in Anjuna
Similar to a puppy, there are many things that excite me. Flea markets are very much on top of that list and if I had a tail I would be wagging it annoyingly the whole way. We set off after our morning yoga session and head out to the Anjuna Flea Market. Not everyone can… Continue reading India / Goa / Anjuna Flea Market / Cafe Looda – We flee to the flea market in Anjuna
India / Goa / Dudhsagar Waterfalls / Tropical Spice Plantation & Elephant Sanctuary
We skip our morning yoga session today and head out nice and early at 7:30 am. Our driver / guide is Uday, arranged by the Ashiyana. We both clearly *are* morning people! Sunshine Feyza 🙂 Dudhsagar Waterfalls It takes about 3 hours to drive from Mandrem to where the jeeps take off up the mountain… Continue reading India / Goa / Dudhsagar Waterfalls / Tropical Spice Plantation & Elephant Sanctuary
India / Goa / Ashiyana Yoga Resort / Arambol – fat bottoms and funky people
It is 7:45 am at the Ashiyana Yoga Resort. We drink fresh ginger tea just before our 2 hour morning yoga session. Communal breakfast/dinner table. Pretty… Later we have a little chat with Birgit who runs the Ashiyana. This is the other side of her office which doesn’t have walls or windows. Why doesn’t my… Continue reading India / Goa / Ashiyana Yoga Resort / Arambol – fat bottoms and funky people
India / Goa / Mandrem – Ashiyana Yoga Resort… and my love affair with India begins!
My lovely Feyza… Life put us together in university, then made us neighbors, then threw us on separate continents when her prince came on a white horse and took her away to Switzerland and my path led me back to Dubai… but this did not separate us. She was supposed to fly to Dubai to… Continue reading India / Goa / Mandrem – Ashiyana Yoga Resort… and my love affair with India begins!
I have a magic travel-box
I am about to hit the road again. I do NOT leave things to the last minute for a change and this not due to my passion for deviation from my suitably short-lived habits: this time I am going away with one of my dearest friends Feyza and she is the well-organized type. I, on… Continue reading I have a magic travel-box
