4 Tipps, um die schönsten Plätze in der eigenen Heimat zu finden

4 Tipps, um die schönsten Plätze in der eigenen Heimat zu finden

Bei Urlaub und traumhaften Plätzen denkt man in der Regel nicht an die Orte vor der eigenen Haustüre, man denkt eher daran weg zufahren oder vielleicht sogar zu fliegen.  Viel zu oft vergessen wir, wie schön es in der eigenen Heimat ist. Meistens ist man immer an den gleichen Orten und selbst, wenn diese wunderschön sind, erkennt man das häufig nicht mehr, da sie selbstverständlich geworden sind.…

Coronavirus: eight random acts of kindness

Coronavirus: eight random acts of kindness

Now that I’ve been asking myself for about 20 minutes how best to start such a post, I’ll just start right away. Because I’m going to assume that all of you have been exposed to coronavirus in some way. Some more, some less. No matter how you are affected, I think a little kindness can do us all some good. And you don’t only experience it by someone else doing something good for you, but also by…

ABOUT US ♥️ Some days ago I’ve seen a wonderful post from @nomadsandrebels where they shared some facts about theirselves. As I already thought about this some weeks ago, I decided that it’s time to share some facts about us, so here we go: 1. We’re living together for more than one year, but not in our own flat cause we commute between Daniel’s home and my home (3 days a week in one place and 4 days in the other place) 🏡. 2. We’re currently searching for a van which we’ll convert in a camper 🚌: our home on rolls ♥️. 3. In two and a half year relationship we haven’t been separated for more than one week 🙈. 4. During the week Daniel needs a lot of sleep, on weekends it’s me 💤. 5. We met and fell in love in China 🇨🇳. 6. We would love to have our own farm for rescued animals with apartments, a coworking-space and a café one day 🐄. 7. If we did not love our friends and family so much, we would move and live somewhere near the sea 🏝. 8. We talk about everything no matter which topic (e.g. work, (mental) health, climate change, veganism, sex and so on) 👫. 9. We love planting our own stuff 🌱! This year we’ll plant tomatoes 🍅, chilis 🌶, peppers, physalis and maybe some more. If you have any recommendations, share it with us 🤗! 10. Through Daniel I stopped taking the birth control pill 💊 (and it was one of the best decisions). As I asked Daniel for some facts he said „there are no facts, we are who we are - all natural, just me and you“ ♥️. Even though Daniel says that there no facts about us, I’m happy that I found some 🥰. So if you have any further questions just ask us in the comments below ♥️! And we would love to read something about you - so what are you waiting for, write us a comment 🌿! Happy Wednesday ♥️! We hope you had a good week so far! Sending you some snowy greats ❄️! . . . . #schwabentraum #throwbackwednesday #enjoythelittlethingsinlife #schwarzwaldliebe #beautifuldestinations #heimatliebe #couplegoals #inlovewithyou #homesweethome #sunsetlover #sunsetvibes #sunsetcouple #couplesinlove #sonnenunterganggeniessen #deutschlandliebe #germanroamers #badenwürttemberg #goodvibesonly (hier: Spaichingen) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Cf35YqJ58/?igshid=vmo4jn6zwm6r

BIG NEWS ♥️ As some of you may know, I love to make things by my own 🤗! No matter if it’s my own lipbalm, our zero waste deo, a bracelet, a salve for mosquito bites 🦟 , marmalade of our own fruits 🍓or earrings out of a souvenir from the last holiday - I love doing things by my own! It’s kind of my passion ♥️. And now I finally managed it to start selling them 🎊! You can find the things I make and sell at Etsy.com if you search for „Schwabentraum“ 🌿. To be honest I’m super excited and I can’t wait to make more products (by now there are only 3 different products) 🎊! On this picture I’m wearing two of these products: the earrings and the bracelet. If you swipe to the side, you’ll find another pic of the earring. Their made out of broken glass from the Italian sea - that’s why each of them is unique 🌊. And I love to wear them! The bracelet is knitted and out of 100% cotton. The colors are so bright and harmonic that they bring sun and happiness even while rainy days ☀️! Daniel is wearing one of these for more than one year day by day and he still loves it 🥰! I‘m super exciting what you’re saying about my selfmade things! So check out Schwabentraum on Etsy ☀️! If you have any ideas, suggestions or questions, feel free to share them with us! We would love to read them ♥️ I hope your Friday was as beautiful and sunny as ours! We’re sending you a big hug and lots of love 🌿♥️!

BETWEEN LONGING AND SACRIFICE ♥️ One year ago around this time we explored Bali and the islands around it 🇮🇩. And we had such a perfect time ♥️! But this year everything is a bit different. This year we won’t fly into the warm. This year we wait for summer in Germany and in our neighbouring countries ☀️. Not to fly is not that easy. Because you have to do sacrifice. And who likes to do without things they love. Well if you’re talking about avoiding flying (especially here in Europe), everyone tells you that there are so many beautiful destinations which you can reach by car or train - and that’s definitely true! We’ve visited already amazing destinations like Slovenia, Czechia, Italy, Austria and many more. But if I'm honest, I'd love to be in a warm place by the sea right now 🌊. I would love to dive in asian culture again, would love to try all the delicious food and do all the wonderful things there. And when I look at pictures like these, my desire doesn't diminish. But that's just the way it is. And sacrifice is never easy. When we walked around in our T-shirts at 20 degrees on Sunday ☀️, it was kind of scary. It's February and it's 20 degrees. It's supposed to snow ❄️ . And then you realize something is going wrong, not only in the arctic where the ice melts also just in front of our homes. And it's probably this climate change that everybody's talking about. And then sacrificing doesn't feel so bad. Because it feels like I’m making a difference not a big one, but at least it makes one. So I continue to wait patiently for the sun and the summer in a few months, while it's 10 degrees and raining again today 🌧. What are you trying to sacrifice? And what makes it hard for you? Share it with us ♥️! Happy Tuesday Guys ☀️! Wherever you are, we’re sending you a big hug and lots of love 🌿♥️! . . . . #schwabentraum #throwbacktuesday #lastyear #beautifuldestinations #enjoythelittlethingsinlife #reisenmachtglücklich #reiseliebe #sealover #fernweh #meerweh #nusalembongan #beachvibes #beachgirl #bluesky #reisemädchen #saltyhairdontcare #paradise #beachlove #agungbeachclub (hier: Nusa Lembongan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tpNc8IcNG/?igshid=rtifv6h9lw08

OUR FIRST POST ABOUT HEALTH 🍃 In our last post we asked you in which topics you are interested and most of you told us that they want to know more about health. So here we go with our first post which deals with your health: SLEEP 😴. We spend around one third of our live sleeping 💤. And for our body it is essential. Sleep serves to regenerate and repair all organs. For example, sleep is important for our brain because the brain repeats everything that happened during the day and information from the short-term memory is transferred to the long-term memory. But also the immune system works during sleep. Many substances that increase the immune defence are released. It has even been proven that people who sleep bad will become ill 3 times more often than people who sleep well. That was only a small selection of the reasons why sleep is important to us, and I think everyone who has ever slept badly knows how important it is to sleep well. So here are our tips for a healthy sleep: 1. Get enough exercise during the day. If you body is tired you’ll sleep better and in addition, the body breaks down stress hormones through exercise, which makes you generally more relaxed and helps you sleep better 🏃🏽‍♀️. 2. Write down all your thoughts on a paper, so you don’t have to think about them while falling asleep 📝. 3. Be relaxed before go to bed: drink a herb btea, read a book, do some meditation or whatever helps you to relax 🧘🏽‍♀️. 4. Make sure that you have only warm, dimmed light around you in the evening. This affects the hormone level and the body shuts down/ relaxes 💡. 5. The temperature in your bed room should be around 17 degrees and the humidity between 45 and 65%. And of course there should be enough oxygen in the air, so ventilate the room before you fall asleep ❄️. If you want to know more about this topic check out our story. There you’ll find also some more tips 😴. We would love to know how you’re sleeping or if you have any other tips for a good and relaxing sleep? Happy Monday ☀️! We’re hope you had a wonderful start in your new week ♥️! (hier: Nusa Penida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ZMug-oXUX/?igshid=swux4qvqkovq

WHAT DO YOU WANT 🍍? Since we currently have a little more time, we would like to invest more time in Instagram and in creating (new) content. The only problem is that we have so many ideas and topics of interest that it is difficult to prioritize. Especially about the topics of sustainability and health we haven’t talked that much. We will try to make more content about sustainability, but we have not yet addressed the topic of health. Since I (Anna) studied health sciences, I would like to create more content about health. Therefore we want to hear your opinion about it. What are you interested in? What do you want to see here? Sustainability? Travel? Health? Everyday life? Of course in the end we decide what we want to do, but since we have such a wonderful community, we would love to hear your opinion and do what you like as well. . So, write us a comment and tell us what you would like to see here or what you are interested in. . Happy Thursday 🍍! We’re sending you lots of love! Thank you for being such a wonderful community ♥️! . . . . #schwabentraum #throwbackthursday #bali #nusalembongan #islandvibes #sunray #beautifuldestinations #reisemädchen #reiseliebe #wanderer #explorer #exploretheworld #sunstar #nusalembonganisland #indonesia #reisenmachtglücklich #baliindonesia #inlovewithlife #goodvibes #summerfeeling (hier: Nusa Lembongan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8PJ1RtI6oC/?igshid=n3zpnjj6nxt9

RELATIONSHIPS AREN‘T ALWAYS FUN ♥️ Every relationship will sometimes get kind of „boring“, after you’ve been together for some years. Love isn’t just a feeling it’s a commitment to love everyday, physically and emotionally. It could be difficult. It’s not always laughs, smiles and fun. Sometimes it could be hard. People tend to get quit when it stops being fun and start looking for someone else, cause „the spark is gone“. But that’s not how it works. Love isn’t always easy and it’s also not always funny. But if you want someone who never gives up on you and loves you unconditionally, then do the same. Be the change. This isn’t a romantic Hollywood movie, this is reality! Love someone when it’s difficult, when they aren’t the easiest to deal with. When they’re hard to love. That’s true love and it couldn’t be more real then a love like this. So if you have someone who loves you unconditionally and you feel the same, don’t give up on that! Fight for it! Cause a love like this, is one of the most valuable things and one of the biggest gifts in life. What your thoughts towards this topic? Feel free to share your thoughts and feelings with us ♥️! Happy Tuesday 🌈! We’re sending you a big hug and lots of love 💕! . . . . #schwabentraum #throwbacktuesday #schluchsee #badenwürttemberg #reiseliebe #beautifuldestinations #enjoythelittlethingsinlife #truelove #liebemeineslebens #heimatliebe #couplephotography #wanderer #lovers #germany #germanroamers #heimatgefühl #schwarzwald #blackforest #schwarzwaldliebe (hier: Lake Schluchsee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8J1S-forvn/?igshid=1nait6dwnytbr

FILLED WITH HAPPINESS ☀️ Do you know these days when you could just hug the whole world cause you’re so unbelievable happy? Today is such a day for me ♥️! My day stared with a wonderful morning with Daniel, than I spoke for more than one hour on the phone with @wanderlusting_juffa (we know each other only by IG but it was so nice to talk with her 🤗) and afterwards I had a great phone call about my future job 🥳. So it was not even 10 o’clock and I’ve already been happy af 🤗! There were some other wonderful things which made/ make me happy today. For example that I’m working on a great blog post in which everyone of you could be part of (just check out our last post), I had a super delicious lunch, I started to make my mom‘s birthday present and so on 🌈. What about you? When was the last day you could have hugged the whole world cause you were so filled with joy? I would love to hear about it 🥰! . I’m sending you a big hug and lots of joy ♥️! Happy Thursday Guys 🥰! . . . . #schwabentraum #throwbackthursday #germany #happiness #badenwürttemberg #schluchsee #germanroamers #reisemädchen #reiseliebe #heimatliebe #beautifuldestinations #enjoythelittlethingsinlife #waggon (hier: Am Schluchsee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B78ylKAojMD/?igshid=p5wvp6j4iuk4
