Cologny
Cologny is a municipality in the Canton of Geneva, just in front of my office across Lake Leman. It houses the World Economic Forum and plenty of houses belonging to millionaires. You can reach Cologny by foot (although it is uphill and very steep) or by bus.
Oxford, Blenheim Palace & Woodstock
I was in Oxford again this weekend and we explored a bit outside of Oxford this time around: Blenheim Palace and Woodstock.
Skiing in La Clusaz
Toledo
Toledo is an ancient city set on a hill above the plains of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain. It’s known for the medieval Arab, Jewish and Christian monuments within its historic city walls. It was also the former home of Mannerist painter El Greco. The Moorish Bisagra Gate and the Sol Gate, in Mudéjar style, open into the old quarter, where the Plaza de Zocodover is a lively meeting place.
Jordan (part IV) – Wadi Rum
Wadi Rum (The Valley of the Moon), depicted as Mars in several Hollywood feature films, is a Jordanian jaw-dropping location. Home to nomadic Bedouin tribes, Wadi Rum is a a quiet getaway of stars, sand, and sun. Once inhabited by the Nabataeans of prehistoric times, Wadi Rum allows you to get lost in large landscapes and horizon lines.
Jordan (part III) – Petra
Although much has been written about Petra, nothing really prepares you. It does need to be seen to be believed! Learn more about this New World Wonder located on Jordanian soil.
Jordan (part II) – Dead Sea, Mount Nebo & Madaba
Heading now to the second leg of our Jordanian trip: the world famous Dead Sea, the holy site of Mount Nebo and Madaba, the city of mosaics!
Jordan (part I) – Amman
We finally made it to Jordan and to its capital: Amman! I had been dreaming of coming here since my boyfriend suggested the idea. We spent the New Year holidays and it couldn't have been more magical. Follow our road trip throughout this Middle Eastern country starting in Amman!
Second round in Oxford
I was in Oxford again this weekend to visit my boyfriend. Some of his friends came from London too and we had a blast with their kids!
