The beautiful Greek island Santorini

Exploring the wonderful Greek island Santorini had been on our bucket list for quite some time. We stayed at a cute hotel in Perissa and rented a car for the whole week. We definitely recommend renting a car when your hotel is not in Oia or Fira because those are the two cities you have to see. The best choice was getting an automatic car because the roads are very steep and narrow at some points. You can easily explore the whole island by car; getting from one side to the other takes about an hour. Our hotel was about 30 min from Oia and 20 min from the capital city, Fira. We booked an apartment with a kitchen so we could make our own breakfast. In our experience, some hotels do not have the best food options for vegans. Since there were grocery stores near our apartment, we figured it would be best to shop and prepare our own food. Oia is so beautiful and the sunsets are amazing. The city is situated on top of the …

London is calling!

London is always a great idea, especially in summer! ☼ We had 3 days to explore this beautiful city. We stayed at the Smart Russel Square Hostel, which is in a nice area and close to the subway Russel Square station. If you are traveling on a low budget, this is the hostel we would recommend for you. The hostel itself is cheap but doesn’t actually feel cheap. It is located in a central location in London. Restaurants, shopping, and a lovely park are all within walking distance. We bought an Oyster card (£5 deposit) to use public transportation, which is really easy to navigate in London. We topped up the Oyster card with cash at a ticket machine from time to time. We preferred taking the bus as much as possible. This way, we were able to see more of the city. And the double-decker buses are just as amazing as we thought they would be! On the first day we visited: Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Big Ben, Palace of Westminster, and Trafalgar Square. And …

Vegan Food Inspirations

Maybe some of you already know that we are following a vegan diet. It all started last year 2017. We wanted to exercise more and eat healthier. We did a lot of research about the right diet and we stumbled across veganism. After knowing what we know now we feel like there is no way we could not be vegan. It is important to be educated on things that you are passionate about.  The transition to a plant-based lifestyle took us months but we loved the journey and we still do. We are constantly learning and getting inspired by other people. We became vegan for three reasons: ANIMALS, HEALTH and ENVIRONMENT. First of all, we LOVE animals. And this diet is also better for your health and for the environment. We wish we would have known about veganism years ago, but it is never too late.  If you want to know more about why we chose to be vegan, you can watch the following documentaries: ✶ 101 reasons to go vegan ✶ H.O.P.E ✶ What …

Traveling responsibly

Hey guys! This is where we are going to tell you about our tips on how to travel responsibly! We believe that you learn a lot while traveling and it is the best way to explore the magic of our world. Responsible travel is about respecting the country you visit, including its communities, culture, and environment. Here are our 5 tips on how to travel responsibly: 1. MINIMIZE YOUR WASTE! Say no to plastic straws. Millions of straws end up in the ocean, polluting the water and killing marine life. We want to encourage you to stop using plastic straws. Just say “No PLASTIC straw, please!” before you order a beverage. Or use a paper straw which more and more restaurants offer. Say no to plastic bags and bring your own bag instead. Also, bring your own reusable water bottle and refill it with tap water. If you can’t drink tap water in the country you visit, buy the biggest water bottle instead of the small ones and refill your reusable bottle. And please never litter! Everyone needs …
