Happy New Year! Alles Gute für 2013
All the best for 2013, we wish you a lot of adventure, new perspectives and obviously health in the coming 12 months! For us it will also mean finding new professional challenges and a new (or old) place to settle down after this trip. Hope to see you soon some place, some time!
The best iPhone apps for world travelers
Using your iPhone on the road isn’t the same as at home. You certainly want to disable data roaming (for your home SIM card) as it is usually ridiculously expensive – O2 Germany for example charges more than 12 Euro per MB (yes the amount of a few emails, this is not a typo) if you travel outside … Weiterlesen
