Summer and winter holidays with Lu
The summer of 2025 has officially begun for us, even though it’s already October. Jokes aside, but it is true that we haven’t even swam in the sea this year. Dipping our toes in the sea May in Piran does not really count. In July, we finally moved into our house, after three long and rather stressful years of renovation. …
Have you ever heard of the French island of Ile de Re? No? I haven’t for a long time either. Until 2016, the only thing I knew about France was Paris, which I had visited many times, and several ski resorts in the French Alps, where we went on skiing trips with my family for ten years in a row. …

I have visited both French Alp resorts several times and I can say that I know them quite well. However, with …
At the end of January this year the stars finally coincided and we were able to enjoy a proper week long ski holiday after a two years long break due to the pandemic and later on pregnancy. Going away for skiing was something I used to do every season since I can remember but after I moved to Germany in …
