After spending 6 weeks living in Salzburg on a summer house sit (with the cutest cat, I might add), I got to know this little Austrian gem way better than I ever expected. From lazy mornings walking along the river to spontaneous beer garden nights and too many strudels to count, I had enough time…
The first time I visited Salzburg was right around Christmas, and honestly, it was pure magic. With all the twinkly lights and the smell of mulled wine in the air. So when I got the chance to cat-sit in the city for six weeks during summer, I was so ready to see this little fairytale…
The Philippines is without a doubt one of the most beautiful countries in Southeast Asia, maybe even the world.

Balabac in Palawan was easily one of the biggest highlights of my entire time in the Philippines. The untouched islands, the marine life, the feeling of being somewhere really remote, it’s just something pretty special and definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for something a bit more off the beaten path. One question…
Port Barton in Palawan is a small beach town and honestly, one of my favorite little places in the Philippines. It’s not far from El Nido, but in my experience, it’s way more relaxed, less touristy, and just a nicer place to slow down for a few days. The beaches are beautiful, the town is…
One of my favorite experiences during the three months I spent in the Philippines was, without a doubt, visiting the Balabac Islands in Palawan.

One of my favorite little beach towns in the Philippines turned out to be Port Barton and honestly, I didn’t see that coming at all.
