Glam and Dazzle

I'm actually back home already, writing this on my computer which is oh-so-much-more-comfortable than on my phone, even if said computer is balanced on my leg which is propped on several cushions due to the ankle strain I managed to pack into the last day. But that'

A Small Interlude About Traffic

A Small Interlude About Traffic

Traffic is hell in all major cities around the world, sometimes even in the minor ones (looking at you, Florence). But thanks to the peculiar mix of motorized vehicles, pedestrians and wildlife, India manages to make its roads extra special. It‘s hard to describe the noise and constant movement

So Much Color Everywhere

So Much Color Everywhere

Writing blog posts on the phone isn’t ideal - it doesn’t let me post videos for example - and I’m often too tired at night to actually throw a post together but there is so much I want to share! And every day is so full of

Into Jaipur

India had never been on my bucket list. All accounts I had read sounded fascinating but the poverty and the masses of people and the sheer size of it didn’t appeal to me in any way. But I am starting to understand why people become so fascinated with India:

Delhi, Old and New

Delhi, Old and New

This was an intense day and not just because yoga started at 7am. Today was major tourist day! We started at the Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India, built in the 1640s, and even though it might not look so impressive in the pictures, it can hold

Some Delhi tidbits

Some Delhi tidbits

Our yoga retreat officially started this afternoon so we had the morning free for some more sightseeing. But first, breakfast. Not pictured but very much part of this wonderful meal, mango lassis and lots of fresh fruits. Then we had to stop by the spa for a steam bath and

An Indian Adventure

An Indian Adventure

I’m still working on getting my blogging groove back but obviously a trip to India is the perfect time to dust off our little corner of the internet and make it official that the Paws are back! In my one day in Delhi I’ve learned that it really

Copenhagen with Jet Lag

Copenhagen with Jet Lag

One of the cheapest flights we found to the US this summer was via Copenhagen so we decided to add a few days in the city on our return trip. We figured it would be easier to get over the jet lag when there was something fun to do outside.

Books I read in 2025

Books I read in 2025

Not everything I’ve read this year but every book I enjoyed. Roughly organized by date read. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus Alone by Megan E. Freeman (It's a YA book but scared the living daylights out of me.) Real Americans by Rachel Khong (Generational saga full

Yep, still alive!

Yep, still alive!

We've spent an entire year in one place and we're still alive! Actually, that's not strictly true because we still spent an awful amount of time traveling, especially in the first part of the year when the kids weren't in kindergarten yet.

And Now for Something Completely Different

I'm not even going to pretend that I've been meaning to write but simply didn't make it. Because who am I kidding at this point? I've just gotten lazy. I'M SORRY! But there has been some major stuff happening here

Several Weeks Later...

Dear reader, I'm almost embarrassed to write at this point. The authorities have let this place go to the dogs, it's a disgrace. "How else is the world supposed to find out about my latest exploits?" I ask them. And they just shrug and

Swimming With the Fishes

This is not a veiled threat from the mob, we really did swim with a whole school of fish yesterday in our little bay. One of the many boats that come during the day to anchor had a baguette left over and they started throwing crumbs into the water right

A Fresh Start

It's been so long that we've posted something here, I feel like we need to re-introduce ourselves. Hi, we're the Paws: Catering, Transportation, SmallPaw and BabyPaw. We used to be really good about posting stuff here about our travels but somehow around March the

The Epic Birthday Park Tour

Dear reader, Because of scheduling problems around Catering's computer, this blog post will be a SmallPaw/BabyPaw joint venture. Please bear with my little brother while he tries to contain his excitement... HI GUYS!!! I'm so happy SmallPaw and I finally get to do a post

Step Into Powder

Hi guys! So Mami and Papi took us to the mountains of Colorado to go skiing with uncle Sam and aunt Micha. Well, I say skiing but I wasn't allowed to go yet and Mami and Papi used this thing called a snowboard instead so I guess technically

Los Angeles for Beginners

Oh LA, you're such a tease. Beautiful, sunny days and cool, starry evenings to lure you in. But then you sit in traffic for an hour to get some lunch and the allure is gone (thank god). But yes, it was lovely. We saw four different museums (La

8 Years and Counting

We've turned into such sloths that we even missed our travel anniversary! Oh my... But Maui will make you forget many things. I mean there are itty bitty dragons around: And beaches galore: And this is Hawaii so of course there are more volcanos. So yeah, 8 years

Slowly, and Happily, Turning Into Sloths

You guys! These islands are amazing... Everything is just so beautiful and the people are real friendly. And the beaches, wow, don't even get me started on the beaches. I know Mami and Papi haven't posted much here and they feel really bad about that but

Aloha Indeed

We hoped Hawaii would be beautiful. Not just for the obvious reasons but because we'd been talking about it so much and hyping it up for the kids that we would have been in serious trouble if the islands didn't deliver. Thankfully we needn't

Far Away From Everything. Literally.

Dear reader, There are no two ways about it: the south-west of Australia is gorgeous. It's also in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Which is maybe why it's so gorgeous. Because to get there takes wayyyyy too long. And not just because the authorities decided it

Sydney to Perth, the Long Way

This blog is in need of some serious TLC. One post for 4 weeks in Sydney?! Puh-leeze... If you've been waiting for a catch-up post though, this sadly isn't it. Because we just arrived in Perth after a loooong time on a train and there'

Fa La La La, How Late It Is...

It's been 2 weeks since we've arrived in Sydney, this post is long overdue, I agree. But to make up for it, here are a lot of pictures. Very little writing though since BabyPaw is teething (the never-ending story), it's ridiculously hot and the

If Paradise Is Half as Nice...

Like Timbuktu, Fiji to me always sounded like one of those made-up places where the name alone was supposed to conjure up an image. In this case palm trees, pristine beaches and perfect sea. Turns out both Timbuktu and Fiji are real and, at least in case of the latter,

Eating Our Way Through Taiwan

I'm not going to lie - it's all about the food here. We did go to a couple of museums in Taipei but then quickly looked for our next meal again. And if the lines at some of the more famous places like Din Tai Fung
