JUST FOR YOU

Welcome, Travel Lovers!
We’re Petra and Bernie — best friends on a mission to explore every cobbled street, secret beach, scenic wine route, and rooftop bar from Europe to Africa (and everything in between).

With 250+ travel articles under our belts (and in our carry-ons), we’re here to help you plan trips that are anything but ordinary. Think: less tourist traps, more “how-did-I-not-know-about-this” places.

Whether you’re plotting your next escape or just daydreaming with a glass of wine in hand, our blog is full of real tips, hidden gems, and honest stories from the road — the kind of stuff Google can’t tell you.

So kick off your shoes (unless you’re in an airport), have a browse, and come travel with us.
We promise inspiring reads, occasional giggles, and a serious case of wanderlust.
Oh — and hit subscribe so you don’t miss out. Your next adventure might just start here.
