The Lovely Town Chefchaouen Part 1

This is probably now one of my most favorite cities on earth. I was truly amazed, Chefchaouen is absolutely stunning!
It´s located in the mountains, so it´s a bit of a drive, but definitely worth it. The drive up there is also very beautiful, you can see the nature changing, the river following you and a lovely lake.

When we were in Chefchaouen we had this amazing tour guide who was probably around 100 years old, but the most hilarious grandpa I´ve met in a while! He told us the city is painted all blue because it keeps the mosquitos away (not sure if it´s true, but just go with it!)
Such a beautiful spot on earth and I´m glad UNESCO is taking care of it.

As you can see, this is part 1. Stay tuned for part 2 which will probably be posted in April more or less! (I just had too many pictures to all fit into one post haha)

Camel ride in Morocco

Whilst in Morocco I had the amazing opportunity to go on a camel ride! I have to say it was pretty interesting. Especially climbing on and off the camels was very unexpected, because it was so abrupt. 

I hope in the near future I can go on another camel ride, let´s see! :)

This first picture is a lighthouse, because standing at this point you can see the part where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic come together. On a clear day you can even tell the water diversity! Sadly I couldn´t though, but that´s okay.

Meeting a wayfarer

This is a little piece of ¿poem? I put together about a guy I met on my trip to Morocco.

I saw you over there,

with your tanned face and wavy hair.

What crossed my mind first was,

for how many heartbreaks were you cause.

It became pretty clear,

you are the joker and domineer.

Always up with something new,

That´s why they all probably like you.

But you weren´t so sure about me,

was it because I gave you contra when we crossed the sea?

You told me 'with you I´d always have a good time',

I told you to stop kissing my arse and we´d be fine.

You asked me if I didn´t like you,

well I´ll tell you what, that was partly true.

You seem so democratic in spreading love,

hence I was surprised about your novia, kind of.

Since then I watched you,

I couldn´t figure you out, neither could you.

Your looks to me were without relevance,

but I was surprised by your gently hidden intelligence.

Our chat was startling very pleasant,

you proved you hold some sort of adolescent.

But don´t you worry, I like the both of you,

the sincere movie watcher and the fool.

Gibraltar Highlights

The ones who follow me on Instagram have seen that I´ve been to Morocco over the weekend :)))
And on my way over there it was only fair to stop by at the beautiful city of Gibraltar!

This waterfall is so white because the water from the sea gets filtered for potable water use and afterwards goes back to the sea. Therefore the water you can see is actually very content with salt, hence the white! Just thought that´s an interesting fact..

The most dangerous airport of the world!!!

If you have been to Gibraltar, let me know in the comments what you did & liked! :)

Car tie

Long nights driving around defining us,

Raving about all the shit in the world,

listening to your (now) ex-girlfriend word,

no longer keeping up with your fuss.

A sweet promise of a hot chocolate,

next time I´ll come around,

Out in the woods nowhere to be found,

you were my best mate.

You rather talk to me,
steal my film book and read it out loud,
tickle me until I almost die from laughter,
chase me around my mum´s mini in the middle of the night.

I´m fond of the thought you relying on me,
your snarky remarks about things you despise,
there´s no label to the state of our friendship,
hell do we even have one?

Your dashing brown eyes looking at me, 
while we´re being caught by a speed camera.
Our infamous humble banter,
taking us to better places.

Driving a convertible during the night,
to gaze at the sky.
All attempts to change the past,
were in vain.

Plaza de Espana, Sevilla

I do get a bit tired of telling you that some of my pictures are not as sharp as they should be, simply because my camera was / is broke. Nonetheless I couldn´t just Not let you see this amazing place a little bit more detailed.
Plaza de Espana is always full of life! If you spend there around an hour or so on a Saturday, I´ll guarantee you, you´ll see at least 2 wedding couples taking pictures. Believe me, it´s annoying, but funny the same. It´s a nice place to have a bit of a picnic or rest after a stroll through Parque Maria Luisa.
Other than that it´s part of the film set of the glorious Naboo in Star Wars, which makes it only more fascinating!
I always love to just sit there with a book and a nice cup of tea :)

7 Steps To Love Your Life

I believe in the quote be so busy loving your life that you have no time for hate regret or fear.  And that is what happened. I just felt.. like me. I didn´t change, I just became more myself. I am becoming more aware of my feelings, my body signals, my needs and the things that make me happier. I think you are on the right track if you are uninterested in the past.

My essential steps for enjoying life at the moment are these:

1. Happy Place
Try to go somewhere where you feel complete and makes you appreciate life. Things you can wonder about. If you have such a place at home then great! For me personally, Salzburg is always a place to refill on energy. Or a long walk through the woods, always clears my mind.

2. People
About a year ago I made a rule to only surround myself with people who want to be in my life, who bring the best out of me and who are genuinely good. Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in a bad company.

3. Me - Time
I am quite a sociable person, but I do need time fore myself. Time when I absolutely do nothing, time to borrow my friends dogs and take them for a walk, time to watch old western, listen to Harry Potter audiobooks all day, anything... But it is important to take this time intentional. And not when it is to late, hence on a regular basis.

4. You
It´s important to make someone happy and it´s more important to start with yourself. Do more of what makes YOU happy. YOU! Not your mum, not your sister, not your teacher, not the society, YOU! You don´t have to change for anyone, because you can´t pay your bills with their opinions (;

5. Dreams
The world only exists in your eyes you can make it as big or as small as you want. To have dreams & goals is important, it keeps you motivated. Don´t let someone dim your light, simply because it´s shining in their eyes. But remember that dreams don´t work unless you do.

6. Let Go Of Anger
I used to have quite a bit of a problem with anger. I wasn´t a specifically 'violent' kid, no that´s not what I mean, but I used to get angry a lot. And most of the time at myself. When that happened I would just stop saying anything, but fume inside of me. And if I was asked what the hell happened, I would simply spit 'nothing'. Because the thing is if I dared to speak I would either break down and cry or be nasty and push people away. Let me tell you, neither of these things are recommended. So with time passing and a few counseling hours later I started trying to just shut it out, meditate and let it pass. I would (still) simply wait until my anger passed. Frankly speaking, with more practice it gets easier. And now I wonder why people fuss about the simplest things. It´s been such a good change for me, I feel so much better and it´s such a huge achievement for me. I found more peace in the world and in myself.

'Anger is like a hot stone, the more you hold on to it, the more you burn yourself.'

7. Be Grateful
You can be anything you want just don´t be ungrateful. Learn to appreciate the little and the big things that your life gives to you, because how else would you become happy if you don´t see the value in things?


Everybody has downs once in a while. You do, I do, we all do. But never forget to get up.

Real Alcazar, Sevilla

Frankly speaking, I´ve been meaning to post about this place since my first weekend in Seville. I visited it on my first trip to the city and it took my breath right away. Since then I´m counting it to one of my happy places. There is just something about it that makes it stand out among all other gardens and palaces I´ve seen. The beauty is incredible stunning and nearly impossible to comprehend into reasonable words. This is why I love pictures. Through them you are able to express your thoughts, when you´re lacking with words.
