So far all is good. I have been childishly excited about this trip to Vienna. To be honest, I have not been so excited about a city trip in a very long time (and believe me, I am always looking forward to traveling…). But there was something about my picture of Vienna that was very attracting. A little bit the … Read More
HELP NEEDED – WIEN
I will be in Vienna next week and I need all help I can get. I am looking for classics, hidden secrets and anything stylish in the way that just the Austrian traditionals manage to do it.

Because heavenly, that is what this place feels like to me. Christine Schmitt and her daughter Amely are running their … Read More

And THANKS to the … Read More

THE Village
If you have one day to spend in Germany and you ask me where to go my answer would be easy. I would not have to think twice. I would say Fischbachau. Forget Berlin, Hamburg or München. Fischbachau is the place. ——————————- and THANK YOU Matthias for bringing it to me!
