Are you traveling to see spring blossoms this year? . Seeing cherry blossoms in Japan is definitely on my bucket list. But there are many more exciting destinations to enjoy beautiful blooms. . If you like in Europe or travel here in Spring, check out some beautiful places to visit on my blog. . . #springblossoms #blossomseason #springineurope #springtime #visiteurope #traveleurope #discovereurope #meettheworld #beutifuldestinations #suitcasetravels #passportready #sheisnotlost #myhappyplace #carrotsandtigers

After the two recent storms here in Europe it looks like we might see an early Spring. . To tell the truth- even though this apparently was the warmest winter on record - I am ready for warmer weather. . And the best part of spring are the appearance of flowers all around. . The first regions in Southern Europe have already started to display beautiful blooms and others are slowly following. . If you love to see spring blossoms ( who don't) head over to the blog to read my post about the best places and times to see spring blossoms in Europe. . . #springblossoms #blooms #almondblossom #cherryblossom #springtravel #beautifuldestinations #traveleurope #visiteurope #discovereurope #springtime #traveltales #meettheworld #carrotsandtigers

Spend some wonderful days at Villa Exner in Grabouw in the Elgin Valley. . The hotel is perfectly located to explore the nearby wine areas of Elgin and nearby Bot River as we'll as Gordons Bay with its large penguin 🐧 colony at Stony Point, Betty's Bay. . But the best reason to stay here is that this lovely boutique hotel is a destination in itself and whilst leisure activities at the hotel itself are limited, this is actually the main perk of this place. Because staying at Villa Exner really is about unwinding and relaxing in the calmness of the large garden, around the small pool or settling down in one of the shaded little corners, possibly enjoying a drink or two. . . #beautifulhotel #boutiquehotel #5starhotel #hotelhideaway #placetostay #elgin #overberg #meetsouthafrica #mysouthafrica #southafricathroughmyeyes #welovetoexplore #theartofslowliving #writetotravel #neverstopexploring #carrotsandtigers

Sunset ... what a magical time. . . #placetostay #boutiquehotel #5starhotel #beautifulhotels #elgin #overberg #thisissouthafrica #meetsouthafrica #visitsouthafrica #places_wow #passportready #traveltales #suitcasetravels #sunset #carrotsandtigers

Choosing a location to stay in a destination you don't know and where you will only find limited information since it is not a touristy place can feel fairly overwhelming. . Whilst the Overberg region and especially Elgin Valley has transformed into a popular destination for those living in Cape Town and lately also for those from further away largely thanks to the growing wine tourism in the area, and there is now a good range of accommodation, looking for and selecting a hotel that will live up to my expectations left me wondering a lot if the place would turn out as I was hoping it would be. . How much do you trust a review- which always is just the reflection of a very personal opinion. . How do you select your accommodation when traveling to an open-the-beaten track destination with limited guest feedback? . . #boutiquehotel #hotelhideaway #5starhotel #beautifulhotels #placetostay #elgin #overberg #meetsouthafrica #mysouthafrica #exploresouthafrica #stayelgin #passportready #authentictravel #postcardplaces #theartofslowliving #takemethere #carrotsandtigers

What are you looking for when visiting a winery? . Great wine tastings? . Beautiful architecture-either historic or modern? . Additional perks like food, pairings or accommodation? . I really love all of the above, and I also love to alter between well established wine regions and the lesser known smaller or emerging wine growing areas. . A wonderful small wine region I've recently visited was the cute Bot River area in the Overberg in South Africa, just about an hour and a half from Cape Town. . Head over to the blog to learn more about the local wineries to visit here. . #winetourist #wineadventures #ilovewinter #gtwine #womaninwine #wineenthusiast #winesofsouthafrica #botrivier #overberg #thisissouthafrica #meetsouthafrica #mysouthafrica #travellingtoplaces #livefortravel #livemoremagic #prettylittletrips #neverstopexploring #carrotsandtigers
