We had some very dear visitors from our very dear home country, and therefore decided to do something special over the weekend. We had autocratically chosen the destination area beforehand, me and my husband, but now we were discussing what to do once we reach the destination. We were aiming at Lake Geneva area, and …
We have been back home a few weeks now and our hilarious road trip is just one nice memory amongst others. It is good to be home for a chance. Unpack our belongings, wash the laundry, see our friends and neighbors etc. You know the thrill. But I can’t help but wonder. I enjoy reading …
Three countries, endless hours and thousands of kilometers in the car. We felt we’d just about had enough for driving around for now. It was time to head home. Early morning, the day after Swedish Wedding (read the story here), we packed our belongings to Skoda das Auto and hit the road. The goal was …
We had one more place to be before heading our faithful servant, Skoda das Auto, towards home. Earlier this year, planning our road trip took a rather unexpected turn when we heard that my dear husband’s favorite cousin was getting married. We didn’t want to miss out on this long-awaited event, so we decided to …

It is almost time. Long planned and long awaited road trip is about to begin… This time we chose to travel up north to the promised land, land of our dreams, home of our hearts (Finland, if one didn’t guess that already), with Skoda das Auto even though it means a lot of sitting in …
(warning: this text is heavily loaded with my personal opinions about environmental issues. And you might not like what I am about to say!) Yup. Climate Change. That is definitely the topic of the day. Finally! It was about the time we wake up to this reality. We are ruining our beautiful world faster than …
Destination: Prehisto – Parc, Réclère My dear husband had already for a long time been seeking good winter tires to our faithful servant, the one and only, Skoda das Auto. Our car might be a bit old, and actually according Swiss standards maybe even from Jurassic era, but we love it and have been trying …
Destination: Papiliorama, Kerzers Our little mermaid princess loves butterflies and dolphins. These water mammals are not so easy to find here in the land of mountains but there’s plenty of butterflies… and we knew of a special place. So we planned a trip to Papiliorama, which is a tropical garden and a jungle built inside …
