For the Christmas Holidays in 2023 we decided to take the family to Tunisia. Somehow, even though we say no more MENA holidays, we keep ending up there and we do keep enjoying ourselves.
We were shocked at how cheap the flights and hotel were and how short the flight was. We flew on EasyJet on the 24th December to Enfidha El Hammamet airport for CHF 700 for the whole family with luggage, and the flight took less than 2 hours and is in the same timezone as Switzerland. We had booked a car at the airport with Avis for...

This July we decided to get away for a long weekend with some friends in Tbilisi, Georgia. This was planned very quickly to be both a random place where most people's response when we tell them we are going is “why”, and also easy for our group to get to (not entirely true: Tbilisi had been on our hitlist for a while, and we knew it was well-known as a bit of a hidden gem)
While there are no direct flights from Geneva to Tbilisi, the flights on Lufthansa via Munich were easy and affordable although admittedly still pricey at...

This year we decided to try and book another heliski trip as it is so much fun and Vanessa has missed out each time I did it in the past.
When thinking of ski locations, Romania is probably not one of the first to come to mind, especially if you are then thinking of heliski as well. But I have been receiving the brochure from HeliSki Romania (HELISKI Romania - home page) for a while now and we really wanted to give this team and the ski area at Muntele Mic and the vast mountains outside...

This post is a bit after it happened, so bear with me when it comes to some of the details.
Last summer we decided to take the kids on a camping trip to Germany that would allow us to go to Europa Park but also to do a few other things in the area. I spent some time finding a camping site that would be able to take our huge family tent, the dog, be in a good location for ironman training and not too far from Europa Park.
We settled on the great campsite Campingpark...
