The abandoned houses of Greece: Corfu
Greece is the number one travel destination for many. Its white beaches and facades, good food and the relaxed, friendly people enchant anyone who has ever been there. But there is also another side to this: the abandoned houses and the general real estate situation. Looking through my travel photos, I found beautiful pictures of Corfu, both oppressive and melancholy: vacant, semi-finished testimonies of the implosion of the real estate bubble that Greece has been suffering since 2009. Real estate market in Greece The prices for home ownership have been declining more and more for years. It has never been cheaper to buy houses there than now. At the same…

This will make you watch Game of Thrones again
Are you asking sometimes, what movies have been shot in Scotland? It has many lovely places which have been used for shooting historical movies. One of them, and one of the most famous, is Doune castle. Fortress Winterfell was introduced in the first episode of the Game of Thrones, but it is more than just the home of House Stark. Fortress Winterfell is Doune Castle, a real fortress perched atop a hill near the Stirling District. A place of peace and authentic history, this is where the Game of Thrones Winterfell scenes have been filmed. I discovered this castle on my road trip through Scotland. A Scottish castle with stories…

Venice – is it Still worth a Visit?
I love Italy! And Venice is one of its most beautiful places with a charming and super interesting history. I mean, it has been built into the water! How cool is that!? But what season is the best for Venice? Is it still authentic? For real! The food and food culture are unbeatable. With love and great ingredients, it is fireworks for the senses (it’s a cliché, ha… but even the French fries at Mc Donalds are better (out of necessity I bought a portion in the small village of Verona… with rosemary and sea salt! Incredibly delicious). Venice is world famous and the visit of the lagoon city is…

Exploring Unboundedpeople.com – my first item
On Instagram I stumbled over a new website www.Unboundedpeople.com It says: UnboundedPeople is a community that connects travellers from all over the world. Not only while travelling, but also if you want to make plans or have already arrived home. Sounds interesting, I tried it and opened an account. The founder Tessa Eberson also has an own travel page there. The idea behind is to connect travellers from all over the world. But a far more interesting feature, at least to me, is the idea of collecting pictures of places you come across the internet and you fall in love with. These pictures or places you can simply collect into a Bucket…
