Hanoi is a city in Vietnam that has a lot to offer as history-wise and also culture-wise. You can visit the temples all around the city and also the many different attractions for the tourists like Train Street. Vietnam is also a country that makes traveling there cheap. The Vietnamese like to drive by motorcycles, that also means that the streets are packed with them. You can see so much more than I can say in this post. I would tell you that you should just walk around Hanoi and see the lake and the old part of this beautiful city when it is still standing. Hanoi is a great city for people that want to see Asia, but watch out on what you eat there and check if you need a visa to enter Vietnam.

Hanoi, Vietnam, offers rich history and culture, with temples, attractions like Train Street, and affordable travel. Explore the city on foot, enjoy the lake and old town, but be mindful of food and visa requirements.

San Francisco is one of the most known cities in the USA. With its houses and buildings on a mountain, you can say walking is a workout. But San Francisco has some of the most impressive structures, with the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, and the cable car, which is a must-ride, but also some less known ones like the Fisherman’s Wharf, where Pier 39 is. SF is a safe city in most parts; you can easily do it by walking to most places. It is clean and looks like in the movies. It can be quite expensive to get hotels and food. I recommend going to San Francisco, especially with children or people that came from Highway 1, to stay there until the flights back. For transportation, you can use the Uber app.

Summary

San Francisco is a safe and clean city with impressive structures like the Golden Gate Bridge and cable car. It can be expensive, but is recommended for visitors, especially those with children.

So I was again in Los Angeles for vacation after the LA fire, and I need to say not much has changed. The people in Los Angeles, especially in Venice, do a lot of sport at the beach, and all of those people could tell you a story of a lifetime. The rest of LA hasn’t changed much. Besides that, there are fewer tourists. All the landmarks are in good shape. I especially recommend you the Griffith Observatory; a small hint: it is free on weekends. For the plane spotters under us, the IN-N-OUT at the Airport is a great spotting point. But watch out in LA; the prices have become more expensive than 1 year ago. But overall, I can just recommend LA. Even with all the homelessness and problems, it is a great city, and of the fire, you don’t see much of it in LA. I recommend the city for families that want to see the West Coast.

Summary

Los Angeles remains largely unchanged post-fire, with fewer tourists and higher prices. The Griffith Observatory is a free weekend attraction, and the IN-N-OUT at the airport is a good spot for plane watching.

So I was again in Rome, but I did already post about it, so I will keep it short. Rome is as beautiful as last time, so it didn’t change a bit. When you are hungry in Rome, you have many options; with every restaurant, the food gets better. It is still a very touristic place, especially at the Colosseum and other famous places. The city is very warm, but everybody is having a good time. But especially in Rome, you need to watch out for your belongings, and I even saw people taking the phones from others at the Trevi Fountain. But overall, I recommend Rome because of its monuments, streets where you can shop, and more.

If you need help finding the best route for Rome dm me on Instagram.

Summary 

Rome is beautiful and offers great food, but it’s very touristy and pickpocketing is common. Despite this, the city is recommended for its monuments and shopping streets.

Jerusalem is one of the cities with the most history and one of the most holy cities in the world. It is a city with the start of so many religions. As an example, the Golgotha church, the Western Wall, and the mosque. Jerusalem is a vibrant ancient city which is also unique and a surreal  experience visiting it. It has a lot to offer: the old part is filled with culture and old streets. There is also a church on the place where Jesus was crucified. The mood is over the top. Everything feels different in Jerusalem, and also the other structures there. There are many different cultures in the city, and it is just fantastic to be there. Right now, it is a good time to be there because there are little to no tourists. There are many restaurants with cultural food depending on the place where you are in the city. I recommend the city to those who want to see some old but fascinating buildings and want to learn about the religions.

Summary

Jerusalem, a city steeped in history and religion, offers a unique and surreal experience. With its vibrant culture, ancient streets, and religious significance, it is a must-visit for those interested in history and religion.

(I am not giving my opinion on wars or something else.) 

The Edersee is a little river in Hesse, Germany, and the surrounding area is filled with history. You have a castle that you can visit. But first of all, the area is good for hiking or for people that don’t want to go to places where tourists are often. There are many attractions in the area within a 45-min drive. And you can see everything from stunning views for profile pictures to a zoo, or a boat ride on the lake. There is also food, but not many restaurants. I recommend 2-4 days in an Airbnb to see all the stunning attractions and it is also great for families with a little budget and who want to see some nature.

Summary

Edersee, a small river in Hesse, Germany, offers hiking, scenic views, and family-friendly attractions. A 2-4 day stay in an Airbnb is recommended.

I have already made a post about Paris, so I will keep it short.

Paris is one of the cities of love. I had the opportunity again to visit this city, and after the Olympics, it had changed a ton. The Olympic Rings are placed now in front of the Eiffel Tower, and it gives the city a nice touch. But the homeless people are now more visible than ever, and the city is full of tourists. But Paris is still as beautiful as ever and worth a visit. And when you are in Paris, you can visit the soccer matches in the stadium; it is a great atmosphere.

Summary

Paris, the City of Love, has changed since the Olympics, with the Olympic Rings now adorning the Eiffel Tower. Despite the increased visibility of homeless people and tourists, the city remains beautiful and worth visiting.

As in my last post about Munich I told almost everything so I just am telling you the new things. In Munich especially in the German winter session It is full in the main tourist attraction and it is hard to see something not beautiful the churches and so on is so on. It is still worth checking Munich out because is is so peaceful and beautiful. 

Summary

Munich, despite being crowded during winter, is still worth visiting for its peacefulness and beauty.

New York is the city with the most residents in all of America. And it is a city with 2 sides. The one with the stunning monuments and buildings, and the one with a lot of crime. But to be honest, as long as you don’t drive the subway at night alone, nothing will happen. You can expect a lot from New York; you may know Broadway, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, or the World Trade Center, which are all a must-see. It is so stunning to see all these buildings and to know that mankind built this. New York has a lot of history, some bad like the 9/11 attacks where over 3,000 people died or good ones like the Sully landing where a plane landed on the water. It is fairly easy to get to New York because of the railroad system or the big 3 airports: JFK, LGA, and EWR. For Europeans, I recommend going to New York for vacation because the trip takes 6 hours from London.

Summary 

New York City, America’s most populous, boasts iconic landmarks like Broadway, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, and the World Trade Center. Despite its rich history, including both tragedy and triumph, the city is easily accessible and a popular vacation destination for Europeans.

In April I flew to the under spotters famous Sint Maarten island. The island is famous for its airport and Maho beach where planes land 20 ft above beach visitors. I flew with Air France and when it was time to land our plane diverted to a nearby island due to strong wind guest. In Sint Maarten you can only land on 1 side and the runway is pretty short this is the reason why we diverted to a nearby island. Now to the island. Sint Maarten is pretty expensive and not always as beautiful everywhere course in 2021 a hurricane hit the island and destroyed 80%. The residents are quite funny. Maho beach should be on your bucket list because it is a beach for its own. At the end it is great to visit Sint Maarten in the Caribbean. But not in the Hurricane season.

Munch is a great city to travel. The city has a big international airport and is easy to reach it is especially beautiful in the German winter season. There are many attractions in Munich like the popular Oktoberfestival. The flight there was also my first flight alone.

London is a great city to visit and has much to offer the Big Ben the London eye and so much more. London is easy to get there you can take the car train from France. You can fly to London city airport or Heathrow airport that is 40 minutes out with a subway. Please watch in London out for your belongings there are pick pockers. In London you don’t need pounds you can pay everywhere with your card.
