About the blog
My name is Kitty and I love all things vacation – be it Cruises, Disney, City Trips, All-Inclusive-Beach Resorts, Walking Holidays, Interrail and so much more. The only thing I enjoy more than planning vacations is to actually go on them!
Originally from Germany, I have lived and traveled extensively in the US and Europe and I am excited to share what I have learned with you! With my kids mostly grown now, I am once again a solo traveller – both a challenge and a wonderful opportunity. And with more free time I hope to travel even more in the years to come.
With my blog I want to inspire you to find the vacation that is just right for you (after all, everyone is different) and to help you out with tips on how to travel solo, get the best value for your money, and live your best life!

Portugal
Until a couple of years ago, Portugal wasn’t on my radar as a vacation destination at all. But when I first saw photos of the fairy-tale town of Sintra I was hooked!
I am not alone – in recent years Portugal has become a very popular destination. And for a good reason – though the country is small it offers wonderful beaches, quaint villages, the vibrant capital city Lisbon, and idylic islands that rival Hawaii!
There are plenty of reasons to put Portugal on your must-see list so let’s dive in.

Cruise Travel
Cruises are some of the best vacations for solo travelers. Not only are cruises some of the easiest and safest trips, but they can also be surprisingly inexpensive! And if you want to meet people and make new friends, few other trips make it as easy (though you can also stay on your own if you prefer).
But even though cruising is easy there are still a number of pitfalls for inexperienced cruisers. Whether it is choosing the right cruise line, the right ship, or the right itinerary – a bit of preparation can make all the difference and ensure that you have a wonderful vacation!
Over the years I have been on over a dozen cruises with various cruise lines and I am happy to share what I have learned! On my blog you will find detailed ship and cruise reviews, tips and tricks to save money and avoid mistakes, tips on what to do in various ports, and even fun scavenger hunts for ships I have been on.
