Paris Guide

Whether you’re a first-timer or you visit Paris annually, there will always be something new to explore. This was my first trip to Paris and my friend’s seventh so we did a mix of new restaurants and some of her staples. The magic of Paris is not over planning your itinerary and allowing room for long cafe lunches or a walk through the park. Trust me when I say to allow plenty of extra cushion time between meals — our average lunch lasted about two hours!

Many travelers add on another destination in Europe averaging about 3-4 nights in the City of Light. I recommend 5+ days in Paris because of the slower nature of how the city moves, making only 1-2 activities a day feasible. For a big trip like this I love booking a professional photography session with Pix Around You. It’s such a fun way to see a new city plus you get a unique souvenir to take home! My clients receive a special rate when booking through me and they have a network of amazing photographers all over the world.

5 Things luxury travel should definitely offer

People’s perceptions of the definition of luxury travel providers vary widely. For this reason, we thought it important to share some of what we consider to be the most important things that should be part of a luxury trip. Of course, these are not established or universally accepted standards, but it will be difficult to offer a hotel room or villa as luxurious if this is not the case.

Spirit of The Outback: Adventure Route Brisbane – Longreach

The Spirit of the Outback runs twice a week between Brisbane and Longreach. From the capital of Queensland to the isolated town there are 1.325 kilometers. To cover this, the long distance train needs a little over 24 hours. The Spirit of the Outback trip is interesting for everyone who wants to leave the typical tourist paths and explore an authentic region in the outback. While the first part of the route from Brisbane to Rockhampton runs along the coast, the second section is characterized by a trip into the western interior. The train itself is very well equipped and provides its guests with a high level of comfort as well as a really exciting adventure.

Stockholm: wow, old swede!

Stockholm

When you step up to a ticket counter in Germany, you politely say “Guten Tag”. Or you dare a casual “hello”. In Stockholm, on the other hand, you are greeted with a cheerful “Hej”!“ greeted and illuminated as if you had won the lottery. As a German, you have to make a bit of an effort to understand the “Hej”!“ to be able to give back just as cheerfully. We Germans are simply not used to so much joie de vivre.
