I have a fascination with doors. Ornate doors; colored doors; door knockers; door trims; doors that fold; doors that seemingly ‘disappear’; invisible doors; and door handles – all these and more are a few of the things that often make me stop as I walk the street in admiration and stare at DOORS. There are […]
Laying in the Moroccan desert on a balmy evening outside our Bedouin tent, we gaze up with a clear view of the sky above us. Without smog and pollution, the sky seems infinitely brighter with millions of stars forming a milky pattern above us. It is so breathtakingly beautiful that neither of us wanted to […]

I see the snow lightly fall, illuminated by the corner street lamp as I sit in the early morning twilight and sip my espresso coffee as my feet are warmed by the central heating. Out of my hotel window trams glide on their tracks past the architectural historic buildings and the Opera House nearby. The rooftops […]
Happy New Year! “Champagne corks pop, fireworks bang and sparkle, cheeks and lips are kissed. Shouts of joy erupt as guests welcome in the New Year.” A year of unknown life awaits us all. A year we hope that has fewer difficulties, and that we find more inner fulfillment. A year to make dreams come true. […]
The European winter is here, and as I type this, the snow is falling gently from the night sky. Tomorrow we will wake to a lovely fresh white blanket covering all around us and I find this time of year just magical. So it is time to think about skiing, and learning to ski. Have […]
If you’d love a white Christmas and are looking for the perfect family location, we think we found this hidden gem tucked away in the tiny ‘postage stamp size’ country of Liechtenstein. Liechtenstein may be a small country but it should not be missed, and this is our second visit, and I would visit yet […]
The fire-pit warms us on this chilly winter eve as ‘Glühwein’ (mulled wine) is sipped from souvenir mugs, and we look up to see hundreds of starry lights strung in the trees above. Below us, the River Rhine flows, and in the dark distance, the hills of the Black Forest can be seen clearly in […]
