Plan your next trip with the Karel 2.0 online planner - it's a breeze.
Destinations are at the heart of this blog. We’ve visited every place we write about ourselves we don’t copy anything from Wikipedia, and we don’t sugarcoat our experiences to make them sound like a “great vacation.” We write about what we saw, what went well, and what we’d do differently next time.
In this section, you’ll find guides to destinations from around the world Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. From major cities to national parks to coastal villages that haven’t yet been overrun by tourists. Each destination has its own section with tips on accommodations, transportation, food, and activities organized to save you time, not add to your worries.
Ad space: When planning our accommodations, we rely on Booking.com, we book guided tours through GetYourGuide, and we always compare flight prices on KAYAK. This isn’t an advertisement it’s just what we use ourselves.
Choose a continent, country, or city and start planning. Or just let yourself be inspired that’s a good place to start, too.
For us personally, New Zealand is the most beautiful place we’ve ever been. Through the eyes of two young guys with backpacks who traveled the country from north to south this column is our love letter to an island at the end of the world.
Here you’ll find guides to both the North and South Islands, itineraries for campervans or public transportation. Tips on national parks Fiordland, Abel Tasman, Tongariro and a realistic look at how much the trip costs and how to make it more affordable. We write about hiking, camping, off-the-beaten-path spots, and what to do when it rains (and in New Zealand, it will).
Ad space: New Zealand is expensive but it’s manageable even on a tight budget if you know how. We compare accommodations on Booking.com and flights on KAYAK. For guided tours such as boat trips in the fjords, helicopter flights over glaciers, or geothermal areas we recommend GetYourGuide.
New Zealand deserves more than just one trip. Read about how we explored it and set out on your own adventure.
About a week ago we got to try the adrenaline activity canyoning in the area around Queenstown. Queenstown – a place where adrenaline oozes from every corner and the offer is so vast you need seriously deep pockets. A mutual friend from the road once told us that a backpacker’s...

We came to Katowice mainly as a transfer stop on the way somewhere else. But the city centre personally stopped me in my tracks – in a good way. I expected a grey industrial city and got a lively centre that breathes at first glance, and when I saw old...
