Cochabamba
We just spent a few days in Cochabamba, which is nicknamed the culinary capital of Bolivia as well as the city of eternal spring. It is also one of the main cities of the country together with La Paz and Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Keep on reading to learn more about this lively place!
Let it snow!
Since I moved to Tarija, the weather had been pretty mild despite the winter season. However, 'surazo' came and it started snowing. That was a rare sight in the city and a first in 65 years!
Solo trip to Lucerne
Lucerne (and its surroundings) seem to have been taken out of a fairy tale. With its elegant buildings surrounding the clear lake, Lucerne is a Swiss jewel!
Although I had been here when I was younger, I didn't remember much except for Lucerne's famous Kapellbrücke (the wooden bridge with flowers all over).
Biking along lake Geneva
I only have a month left in Geneva before I move to Tarija (Bolivia) for good, so I decided to take on one of the things on my bucket list: biking along lake Léman (also known as Lake Geneva)!
Tarija & La Paz
The time has finally come and I´m back in Bolivia! It´s been 3 months since I visited the country for the first time and I've had a chance to relax, discover some amazing places and network for my next chapter in life here. Follow me in this second round in Tarija and La Paz, which was pretty hectic as we didn't spend more than three days in the same place, it was back to back!
Reserva Nacional de Fauna Andina Eduardo Avaroa (II)
After visiting Salar de Uyuni and entering the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, we set off to explore all the wonders in this Reserve. The wildlife, geysers, lagoons and volcanoes left us speechless once again. Make sure to include this landmark in your bucket list when traveling around Bolivia!
Reserva Nacional de Fauna Andina Eduardo Avaroa (I)
After visiting the surreal Uyuni salt desert, we headed south towards the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve. The beautiful landscapes in this remote part of Bolivia surprised us even more with lots of wild animals, unbelievable rock formations and active volcanoes.
Salar de Uyuni
Salar de Uyuni, located amid the Andes in southwest Bolivia, is the world’s largest salt flat. It’s the legacy of a prehistoric lake that went dry, leaving behind a desertlike, nearly 11,000-sq.-km. landscape of bright-white salt, rock formations and cacti-studded islands.
Foodie winter recipes
Surviving winter (and the flu) can be tough. That is why I would like to share some of the recipes that are hopefully helping me transition back to my healthy self.
First impressions of Bolivia (II): Tarija
Generally speaking, the city is a bit messy and with street dogs everywhere, but the pace is slow and the climate and wine make it enjoyable. We already found an apartment here, including a swimming pool so I think we'll have a good two years in Tarija!
Jordan (part VI) – Ajlun castle, Umm Qays & Jerash
During the last leg of our trip, we visited the castle of Ajlun as well as the ruins in Umm Qays and Jerash. The latter was the perfect way to end our visit to Jordan!
