balloon flight

Location:

LOCATION: CANBERRA

One of the most amazing things I ever did was hot air ballooning in Canberra, Australia. I always wanted to go to a balloon festival and when I heard that they have one each year in the capital I immediately booked a flight. We got up at 4am and flew around 6am to see the sunrise. I have to say I was a little scared because of the height but in the end it was just beautiful adn breathtaking. You float over the hills, everything is quiet, there’s no wind and you enjoy the sun rising over the hills. It was so impressive and I can definitely recommend it to everybody.

all white

Location:

LOCATION: MUNICH

If you follow me on instagram and snapchat (@viva_lamoda) you probably have seen my all white outfit. I’ve had this white suit thing for a longer time in my mind and thought it would be perfect for the press days here in Munich. Each piece is from a different store so I was really happy they matched. I think the suit is the perfect combination of elegant and cool! I’m also wearing my new Chloe Drew bag as well as Emian Bohe sunglasses.

travel diary rottnest island

Location:

LOCATION: WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Talking about Rotto Island, there’s only one word that comes to my mind: paradise. A 40 min drive with the ferry from Perth and located in the middle of the Indian Ocean with its crystal clear water and more than 20 beaches and lagoons Rotto is the place to relax and calm down. The whole island is under nature conservation and you can only drive around by bike or bus. As I love cycling I chose the bike and made my way through the hills. Apart from beeing the most beautiful island I’ve ever seen, it’s inhabitants, the Quokkas, are the most patient and cutest animals ever! I mean just look at the pictures, they are so adorable (how cute is that baby Quokka)!

shangri-la dubai

Location:

LOCATION: DUBAI

Flying back from Australia I had the chance to stay at beautiful Shangri-La Dubai. I flew from Brisbane to Dubai, which takes 14 hours and I was really happy that we had an early check in and our Horizon Deluxe room was absolutely stunning! We had an unpralled view over Burj Khalifa and the skycrapers surrounding it and were welcomed by fresh roses, arabic sweets and nice letters. On the first day we of course explored the hotel with it’s two restaurants, the spa, the fitness rooms, the cafes, the Horizon Lounge and the Shangri-La doesn’t have only one but two pools overlooking the skyline, too! One is on the roof top and one at a lower level. We enjoyed both and felt so relaxed. On our last day we had the chance to dine at Hoi An, a first class vietnamese restaurant and this was the best asian food I’ve ever had. Seriously, this is on my must-do list when in Dubai!
