Engelberg, less than two hours from Zurich in central Switzerland, offers some of the best off-pist skiing in Europe. The ski season runs from December to early May with most crowds during Christmas, New Year and other holidays. The village is charming with beautiful surroundings and an amazing view of the mountains. Engelberg has two sides – [...]

Road Trip Through the Alps
When you drive through the Alps during the autumn everything is calm and quiet, a complete opposite to the busy wintry ski season. Our first road trip started in Dornbirn, Austria, where we had watched the European Championships in gymnastics. After a quick stop in the popular ski resort St. Anton, we crossed the Swiss [...]
My Favorite Amusement Parks: Liseberg + Cedar Point
I’m always up for a day or two at a fun amusement park. So far my favorites are Sweden’s Liseberg and Ohio’s Cedar Point. Liseberg Amusement Park in Swedish Gothenburg is the biggest amusement park in Scandinavia. Since they year I was 2 I have probably been there about a dozen times. We always begin [...]
Åre: The Best Ski Resort in Scandinavia
Åre, the most popular ski resort in Sweden, is located by Lake Åre near Östersund in the area Jämtland. In my opinion, it’s even the best ski resort in Scandinavia, a terrific place to ski whether you are 7, 25 or 50-years-old. The ski system has pistes and off-piste to suit everyone from complete beginners [...]
Destination India
Some day I would love to experience India. Recently I have found many stories, articles and photographs from this amazing country.
Central Park: The Best Park in the World
Located between 59th and 110th Streets and 5th to 8th Avenues, Central Park is, in my opinion, the best park in the world. A park for everyone offering plenty of fun things to do. You can jog, walk, play boll, rollerblade, go to the zoo, rent a boat, swim, sunbath, play baseball, play tennis at [...]
Montreux Jazz Festival 2008
The coast between Vevey, Montreux and Villeneuve is called the Swiss Riviera. When we walked along the waterside it hit me how stunning Montreux is. A long pedestrian walk starts at Villeneuve — not far from the French border — and continues past Montreux all the way to Vevey. An hour’s stroll along the lakeside is more than [...]
Beaches on Skiathos
My favorite beach so far is Lalaria Beach on Skiathos in the Greek Sporades Island. Lalaria consists of white pebbles and limestone and is only approachable by boat because of the high cliffs on both sides of the beach. A rock to the west of the bay forms a natural bridge between the sea and [...]
Island Hopping in Greece
Ithaka outside the Greek west coast is known to attract the rich and famous. I once read that Madonna and Guy Ritchie, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have spent their vacations here, but we didn’t spot anyone of them during our stay on this pretty Ionian island. But we did visit the world’s largest natural [...]

Since I was a kid I have loved writing lists. The best songs of the year. Countries I want to visit. Favorite songs and movies. Things I am saving for. Places I want to see. Short and long-term goals. Dreams. I also love reading lists. Whether it’s of the hottest boutique hotels in NYC, the Film Box Office or the [...]
