On my travelblog Smile4Travel I share my personal travel experiences, provide hands-on travel tips, detail-focussed and self-tested itineraries enriched with eye-catching photography to get you inspired and empower you to fulfill your own travel dreams!

Besides travel documentaries, which sometimes can be split in several chapters (e.g. Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, Island Hopping Cyclades, Backpacking Indonesia), you will find route descriptions, showing you important hints and visualize the route. I want to provide you with a better understanding of duration and the different stops, in order to make up your mind about the respective tours. You will also find recommendations for hotels or guesthouses, as well as for restaurants (eg. Japan / Sri Lanka). In City Exploration you can re-live my personal highlights and familiar yourself with the “Things to do in…”, which can be truly special restaurants, stunning locations, colourful markets, hidden corners or absolute Must-Sees.

My travel destinations often are far away and exotic. During the past few years I frequently visited Africa and Asia. But also Europe with its coastlines, islands and metroplolis plays an important role on Smile4Travel. Because so often the most beautiful places can easily be found just around the corner of your own front-door, without travelling to the end of the world and back again. Simply keep your eyes open to not miss what´s unfolding right in front of you – like I did in the summer months of 2017 when visiting 14 Franconian cities.

My passion for the Outdoors is another red thread running allover Smile4Travel. Whether it´s hiking tours in the Franconian Switzerland, biking through meadows and fields of Belgium, fishing in the fjords of Norway, or scuba-diving in tropical oceans: Click on Nature & Outdoors to read my about my encounters with and in Mother Nature.

Sleep Extraordinary: From feudal castles to comfortable shepherd ventures, or rocking houseboats – just basic or truly luxury: This series is dedicated to extraordinary overnight stays I came across during my travels and is extended on a a regular Basis.
