Washington DC

In comparison to the many of the other cities that I visited during this trip, Washington DC was one of the cities that I had heard a lot about (who has not heard of DC!?). However, it is also a city that I never really felt the urge to visit. I always thought it lookedContinue reading “Washington DC”

Detroit: visiting family found through DNA-testing!

DNA Test Detroit was the 4th city I visited during my USA trip. This is another city that I knew very little about, if not the city that I knew the least about! People kept asking me why I chose Detroit and I was constantly told that there is nothing to do there, and thatContinue reading “Detroit: visiting family found through DNA-testing!”

Seattle: West Seattle and China Town

The next day was another day of walking around. My friend had to go to work again, so my plan was to wander around the city again. I decided, however, to start with a walk around West Seattle and Alki Beach and later take the bus Downtown. Apparently, taking the bus in Seattle is moreContinue reading “Seattle: West Seattle and China Town”

Seattle: Downtown Seattle

If you have read my previous posts, you may already know that I lived in the Seattle area 8 years ago. That’s why I had to include this city in my USA 2019 trip. I wanted to visit my old friends and bring back some great memories I cherished from the past. Arriving in SeattleContinue reading “Seattle: Downtown Seattle”

Reno

Reno. What can I say… When I told people I was going to Reno during my trip around the USA, which would only involve a few selected cities, I was met with curiosity and confusion. Why of all American cities would I choose Reno. I was actually really looking forward to going to Reno. IContinue reading “Reno”

Traveling from LA to Reno with Flixbus

I heard many different stories about Flixbus in the USA. I have traveled several times with Flixbus in Europe so it did not even occur to me that Flixbus could be any different in the USA. Therefore, I quickly bought the ticket once it was available online. When I was booking the whole USA trip,Continue reading “Traveling from LA to Reno with Flixbus”

Los Angeles: Universal Studios

Universal Studios. One of the most famous attractions in LA. It also was one of the attractions that I enjoyed the most during my stay in LA when I was 13 years old. This time, however, I was unsure whether to go or not. My first thought were to skip it, because I might haveContinue reading “Los Angeles: Universal Studios”

Los Angeles: West Hollywood and Beverly Hills

My fourth and final Airbnb was located in West Hollywood, a vibrant area known for its thriving nightlife and renowned restaurants, considered the best in the entire city. With high expectations, I had specifically chosen this neighborhood for a weekend stay, anticipating an exciting and lively atmosphere. However, the reality proved to be different. ExhaustedContinue reading “Los Angeles: West Hollywood and Beverly Hills”

Los Angeles: Venice Beach, Marina del Rey and Santa Monica

Leaving the breathtaking Hollywood Hills behind, I was filled with excitement as I set off on my next adventure: Venice Beach! This destination held a special place in my heart since my teenage years, when I fell in love with its vibrant atmosphere and unique charm. While I no longer proclaim it as the bestContinue reading “Los Angeles: Venice Beach, Marina del Rey and Santa Monica”
