Why we started our blog:

We begin with the most important reason, We love travelling. If it is a day, weekend or a complete holiday, we love exploring new places. ‘Are you on holiday AGAIN!! ‘is a sentence that we hear regularly.

Second of all, we both are crazy about photography and it seems like a good idea to do something with our photos; then only to store them at a hard disk.

We also noticed that many tourists do not take the time and effort to really enjoy the special history and fantastic places that Europe has to offer. We would like to share our vision and way of travelling with everyone who is interested.

We started our blog this September after a crazy and difficult year for both of us. It forced us to rethink about what made us really happy. The answer to this question has to be to discover new places and to travel. So why not make it official by blogging about it.

Our advice you have for new bloggers:

As we are also newbies we hope to meet a few of the goals that we set for 2019. If you think about starting a blog or you just started one our tips for you are:

1. Set a goal for your blog and make sure to follow up this goal regularly. Our first goal is to blog minimal once a week (until now this is going pretty good) and the second one is to visit a new location every month (new goal for 2019).
2. Define a niche for your blog. It is important to stand out from the crowd: otherwise, it will be too random for your readers. Our Niche is ‘travelling in Europe’.
3. Make fun with it and just give it a try. We recently made our first video. It was kinda strange to start but so much fun to do together. It doesn’t matter that we are not the perfect vloggers but it will show readers our view. We promise that we will get better over time.
