Well, unfortunately we can’t (yet?) travel 365 days a year. That’s why we always make shorter trips like a long weekend to Portugal in the Duoro Valley or to Haarlem or a 3-week vacation trip to Sumatra, Indonesia.
Here we list our short trips by topicality. Maybe you will find a place you can go to during your visit on our website?
Or maybe you have a tip where we should go for our next short trip.

We are Paddy and Mimi, a travel-hungry couple from tiny Switzerland in the middle of Europe. We call ourselves slow travelers, because we like to spend enough time in one place or country. Therefore we don’t only visit the typical sights but also get to know the culture of the respective country.
