I am looking forward to the moment it becomes save to travel again; although I am aware this might still take considerable time. And even once things become better, restrictions will be lifted only gradually. As a result, the next trip we are able to take is likely one somewhere close to home. . Head over to the blog to read my thoughts about traveling after the global pandemic and how to be a tourist in your hometown. . One of the places on top of my list of places close to home is the beautiful Middle Rhiine Valley, around 45 minutes outside of Frankfurt. The entire valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you find a large number of historic castles, medieval small villages and many Vineyards. . The Mouse Tower, a store tower on a small island in the Rhine river outside the small town of Bingen is one of Germany's most iconic buildings. . It looks back at a fascinating story that starts in Roman times. Since the tower was destroyed and rebuilt various times. In 1298 it became an official customs tower, was destroyed again in 1689 by the French army and rebuilt in 1855 as a Prussian signal tower. . . #historicsite #unescosite #rhinevalley #visitgermany #travelgermany #exploregermany #countryside #postcardplaces #places_wow #keepdreamingoftravel #carrotsandtigers

Looking for ways to get some distraction these days where all the new are addressing only the one topic. . Sending out positive vibes and I hope you all stay save wherever you are. . . #stayhome #flattenthecurve #africananimals #wildernessnation #amazingwildlife #giraffes #stellenbosch #capewinelands #thisissouthafrica #southafricathroughmyeyes #carrotsandtigers

How do you find distractions these days? . I am still finishing to edit photos from my last trip before the lockdown. . One of the best experiences I had during this trip was a fantastic game drive through the wildlife sanctuary of Villiera Wines. . What is your favourite wild animal? I would put giraffes definitely in my top three. . . #giraffes #amazingwildlife #wildernessnation #africananimals #thisissouthafrica #southafricathroughmyeyes #meetsouthafrica #visitstellenbosch #capewinelands #carrotsandtigers

Thinking back to better times... . I so much loved my visit to Villiera Wines in Stellenbosch a few weeks ago. . What has that to do with giraffes? . Well, the winery dedicated 220 hectares of land as a wildlife sanctuary in 2009 sitting right to their vineyards. . Weather permitting, Villiera offers two game drives in the morning and one in the afternoon, which last about two hours. . There is a good chance to see the resident animals since the area is relatively confined and in part is open terrain. That said, it is still large enough to be home to a wide variety of mammals including springbok, kudu, eland, black wildbeast, bush pigs, zebra and giraffe. . There is also a huge variety of birds which are attracted by several dams and marsh areas that are forming part of the sanctuary. . The game drive ends with a wine tasting back at the tasting room which is included in the game drive fee. . Put it on your to do list for when it will be safe to travel again. . . #capewinelands #visitstellenbosch #thisissouthafrica #meetsouthafrica #exploresouthafrica #africansafari #safarilife #africananimals #giraffes #natgeowildlife #inspiredbynature #beautifulnature #wildernessnation #winetrip #winelover #winedestinations #winetourist

Another day spend at home. It's the right thing to do to help protect the most vulnerable. . But I confess I am looking forward to the time going out and about will be safe again. . Hoping you all are staying safe wherever you are right now. . #stayhome #flattenthecurve #stayingstrong #citizenoftheworld #campsbay #campsbaybeach #lovecapetown #visitcapetown #meetsouthafrica

Here in Europe many countries have already closed restaurants and bars are already closed or will be closed shortly. . In fact, it's very important to practice social distancing and follow the imposed measures to help contain the virus to spread. . Many still have not realized how important this is as we can still see in many cities here in Germany where many today have gone out to enjoy the warm weather, sitting side by side in cafes and bars that were still open today. . But as much as we all grave to go back to our normal life's, this is not the time to act reckless. . I am staying home most of rime, going out only to buy groceries. It's not easy but we are all in this together. . There will come the time it is safe again to go out, meet with friends and enjoy a few drinks together. I am certainly looking forward to this. . Wishing you all to stay save wherever you are right now and sending you virtual hugs 🤗. . #coronavirus #stayathome #nottraveling #staypositive . #travelblogger #travelbloggerlife #citizenoftheworld #theconstantlycurious .
