A couple of weeks of sweet island life is definitely how i am now going to escape the European winter every year. After visiting a couple of places that we already knew from our 2011 Bali trip, we decided to rather spent our time on the Gili islands, 3 tiny beauties between Bali and Lombok of which each offers a unique experience of island life. My absolute favorite Gili Air is known for its laidback vibe, yoga and the beautiful turquoise water surrounding it. Natural materials are used everywhere in daily life from bamboo houses to banana leave dishes and there is simply no better view than waking up underneath palm trees.

Yes! Finally managed myself a stopover in one of the cities that i always wanted to visit in Southeast Asia: Singapore is a melting pot between East and West, tradition and innovation, established arts and futuristic design.

I discovered so many inspiring patterns, color shades and artsy details wandering around the city, that i would have loved to just keep exploring this urban jungle for a little longer. But every beauty comes at a price and Singapore’s is paid in excessive amounts of the quite strong Singapore Dollar. So bye bye you beauty of the East, 3 days is all the time we had.

It is THE art festival in Europe and I’ve been urging to visit la Biennale di Venezia since I first heard of it. Since I have moved to southern Germany a couple of months ago, a visit was finally within reach. In the end I only spend a good 48hours in Venice, but the impressions felt like it had been 2 entire weeks. So much great art accumalated in one small city – it was definitely worth a visit and I already saved the date for the next Art Biennale in 2019.
