Hello world, I am Mahida! My heart beats for traveling and blogging, preferably together with my husband. Together we both love to travel - both as a couple and sometimes on our own. Our favorite places to travel are in Central Europe. Always looking for the next adventure. I don't like to stay in one place for a long time, I have always been drawn to faraway places. For me, a good mixture of adventure and relaxation - a lot of variety - is essential for a successful vacation! And insights into foreign cultural events as well as national events or local peculiarities are super exciting for my husband Tim and me. For me, as they say, the journey is the destination. Therefore, a good preparation for our trips together is important to me. So you will also find helpful tips and tricks for your next vacation. Writes for: Travel Inspiration
