Overnight stay in family room
Family room vs. parents’ holiday and hotel restaurant vs. self-catering. Two issues we’ve had to deal with over the last five days. Fridge: we asked the hotel for a refrigerator and lo and behold: no problem at all to get a minibar-sized refrigerator for our room. So nothing stood in the way of self-catering, at…

Tipps zum Reisen mit Kindern – Traveling with children
Viele Dinge der folgenden Liste vergegenwärtigt man sich erst, wenn man sie, wie ich nun, aufschreibt. Es ist doch einiges, was da zusammenkommt, wenn man mit Babies bzw. Kleinkindern reist – was bei uns 9 bzw. 28 Monate bedeutet. Mit fast einem oder gut zwei Jahren haben die Kleinen mehr Gepäck als wir und unser…

Review: Pullman Riga Old Town, Latvia
New project, new city. After my first couple of days in Riga, it feels good to be at a place where I can feel like home. As always, there are upsides and downsides –Â I’ve tried two different hotels so far, and this one is almost perfect. About the location: Although I haven’t seen much of…

Tambo del Inka review
>> deutscher Artikel unten Day 25 – Urubamba After spending most of our time away in hotels with just enough privacy to get changed, shared bathrooms, places where we were woken up by loud neighbors, roosters crying at 04:00 am or the fear of being bitten by not matter which insects, this place feels like…

Mitad del Mundo in Quito: Equator in Ecuador
Day 14 – EQ515 from UIO to LIM We’re experiencing heavy turbulence on our flight from Quito, Ecuador, to Lima, Peru, and the weird lady one row ahead of us must have thought, „it’s just about the right time to unpack my make-up and get ready for Lima“… Well, for us it’s time to reflect…

Where to stay & how to get around in Washington, D.C.
Staying at the Courtyard Arlington Rosslyn was a good decision. The metro is in walking distance (they even have a shuttle that would take us anywhere within a mile in Arlington, but we didn’t bother. Except for heavy rain we wouldn’t have needed it, that’s nowhere near European traveling habits…). If it’s not included in…

Lazy days by the sea
Thanks to two bank holidays in Germany we got to enjoy a little break from everyday life. I picked a retreat by the Baltic sea, which is a 1.5-hour-drive from Hamburg. Now, you might say, what is there to see and do, it’s not summer and certainly no bathing weather. The truth is, not really…

Business Meetings – Miami Beach EDITION
When the company invites you to go to Miami and take part in a conference you say yes. Even though it means an awful lot of travel. I was lucky because compared to some of my fellow participants I have had a short trip. Well, never mind the trip from HAM to LHR, continuing to…

Frankfurt Morning Glory
This is one of the stunning views you get to see when staying at Frankfurt Marriott Hotel, a place which I will at times call my second home. Just started on a project in this town, my very first in my young career as a consultant, so I wonder if this place can become my…
