A Day by the Sea

Exploring the Outer Banks dunes and soaking up the sun at Corolla Beach. Just sand, wind, and waves – the perfect coastal escape.

Slowing down in charming Edenton, NC – a picture-perfect small town in the heart of the South.

Peaceful streets, beautifully preserved Southern homes, and a calm, unhurried vibe.

We visited the historic Cupola House, @cupolahouse , a true architectural treasure with a timeless atmosphere.

A place to breathe, admire, and enjoy the simple moments.

So lovely here!

New Bern – Swiss roots in the heart of North Carolina! ❤️🌞

What a charming town with a fascinating story.
Founded in 1710 by Swiss and Palatine settlers led by Christoph von Graffenried from Bern, Switzerland, the city still carries its European soul with pride.

Everywhere you look: the red and yellow Berner flag, adorable bear statues, and street names that hint at its heritage.

It truly felt like a peaceful home away from home – with waterfront houses, warm-hearted locals, cozy restaurants, and a laid-back atmosphere.

A perfect place to slow down, take in the views, and connect with history
❤️🐻🏡🇨🇭

Today we continue our journey – next stop: Edenton!

We really enjoyed our time in Southport, NC!
A beautiful coastal town with super friendly people ☺️, lovely old houses 🏡, peaceful waterfront views 🌊, and huge, majestic trees 🌳 that give the whole place a relaxed and cozy vibe.

It’s easy to see why Safe Haven by @nicholassparks was filmed here – it feels like walking through the scenes of the movie ✨. With @juleshough
@joshduhamel

And we were lucky to stay in the cutest little Southern-style house with a perfect front porch, red and black decor, and the American flag waving proudly ❤️.

We felt right at home here – it’s definitely a place we could’ve stayed much longer 🫶.

Today we’re heading to New Bern… excited for the next part of our journey ✈️

From Savannah to Charleston to our final stop in Southport… or so we thought!
This Southern adventure continues —
Next stop: New Bern, North Carolina this Tuesday!

The images in this post were taken in the breathtaking city of Charleston, SC – a place that stole our hearts.

Pastel-colored houses, cobblestone streets, romantic balconies, and that golden Southern light… pure magic.

Charleston is elegance, history, and charm wrapped in one.

Every town surprises us with its own unique soul —
from moss-draped Savannah, to the fairytale vibe of Charleston, to peaceful Southport, and soon, riverside New Bern.

The South, you truly enchant us! ❤️

Who knew a plate of eggs and hashbrowns could unlock core memories?

Haven’t stepped into a diner in years — now I’m wondering why I ever left.

Midnight Diner’s still got it: crispy edges 🥓, endless coffee ☕, and the friendliest staff this side of 2AM ✨
10/10, would time travel again.

Arrived back home in cold Europe, reminiscing about the incredible wildlife experiences in Botswana—this will be my final post (for now)! I’ll definitely be back!

🌿🐾 Moremi Game Reserve gave us a truly unforgettable adventure! We were surrounded by an awe-inspiring landscape where every sight and sound reminded us of nature’s beauty and power. 🦒🦓

The thrill of watching graceful giraffes reaching for treetops or drinking from waterholes, alongside playful elephants bathing nearby, was unmatched. Zebras pranced through the grasslands, curious zebra mongooses darted around, and we watched in awe as majestic roan antelopes calmly grazed with little birds perched on their backs—a moment of harmony in the wild. We even had the rare joy of spotting elusive wild dogs, a beautiful owl hiding among the branches, and a lively troop of Chacma baboons adding to the experience. And then there was the Lilac-breasted Roller—its vibrant colors flashing as it flew past, truly a jewel of Botswana’s skies! 🐘🐕🦉🐒🪶

With thousands of photos capturing these moments, it’s hard to decide which ones to post! Every glance and every breath reminded me how precious and fragile these wild spaces are. I feel so grateful to have witnessed such natural beauty and am already planning my return.

Stay tuned as I share more highlights from this adventure. To Botswana, with love!

🌅 There’s nothing quite like the sunsets here in Botswana! From the golden glow over the waters of Camp Okavango, to the vibrant, fiery skies of Savuti, and the tranquil beauty of Moremi in the Okavango Delta—every evening is a masterpiece painted by nature itself. Each sunset is a reminder of the magic and untouched beauty of this land. So grateful to experience these breathtaking views! 🌞✨

🌍🐾 Another unforgettable day at Moremi Game Reserve! We were thrilled to spot the beautiful lions once again, this time lounging with their families in the golden grass. 🦁❤️

Feeling so grateful for these incredible moments! Can’t wait to share more from our adventure.

What an incredible day on safari in Moremi Game Reserve! 🐆✨ We spotted the elusive leopards both on the ground and in the trees, showcasing their stealth and beauty up close. Watching these magnificent creatures lounge in the branches and prowl through the bush from our safari car was absolutely mesmerizing. Every moment felt surreal, witnessing them in their natural element. An experience I’ll never forget! 🌿🦁
