Most Memorable Travel Experience
-driving from New Orleans to Miami...it was our 2. trip to the US. I was about 9 and went with my parents and my brother! For a week we just followed the sea front road and drove down, nearly to Miami...we spent 2 weeks in a little town at the beach, in a friends house! Those beaches just made me feel like i'm in a paradies.
-Egypt 2006,went to Hurghada for the 2. time, 10 years after my first stay there!so much has changed, such a shame it isnt that little sweet village it used to be!I went there with my parents and my best friend and it was a unforgetable week,we went snorkling and made a jeep safari which included a camel ride and a few minutes under the awsome star sky in the desert!I cant forget this week because of one special person.i met a guy there who changed my life.i miss him so much and cant wait to see him again, we had a great time there!
-Living in Mexico City was a special time in my live i liked and disliked!As an Au Pair girl i moved to that compound near Mexico City with my lovely hostfamily from Switzerland!They have triplets and went there as expads.
I was living in a complet different world comparing to what i was used to, many simple things seemed to be much more difficult and difficult things seemed so much easier...leaving the compund on my own, like i did in switzerland, was not possible but being driven around by a driver and always having a bodyguard on my side while going shopping or exploring this beautiful country, just was not my thing!The maid cooked absolutly delicous food, i fell in love whit tortillas!The languages was quite a difficult thing...my english was perfect, my spanish was zero! Not many ppl spoke any other language then spanish!
I loved coming back home...but i cant wait to leave again!
-Zante 07 with my 3 best friends. I picked up a catalog and just coosed a greek island with a nice hotel..it was the absolut best week in my life! we never had more fun and better ppl around us then while this week in Laganas!

Heyyy you all...i'm Seraina...or how my friends call me:
Ottimo, Serä, Seri, Princess, MiLord of Mexico, Prince Rupert, Auntie Aina..etc. so call me however you'd like to;)!
I can finally call myself an adult with my 18. b-day! jepii jeyijeyiii^^:P!
I'm living in a smal village near Interlaken in Switzerland.
I'm currently doing an apprenticeship as a travel agent and I love this job!!!!!
I've always traveled with my parents! My dad is working in the tourism business and this is probably where i got the passion from!
I want to travel around the world by just living here and there...just away form boring switzerland!
I'd love to start a RTW-trip in Jan 2010 by going to Thailand, Indonesia, AUSTRALIA(i have so many freinds overe there and they keep asking me when i finally come), New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, California, Canada and with a stopover in NYC back to Zurich! Aaand i'd love my portable radio and best friend ever to joyn me..nooo not my Ipod..i mean Tina(blakinside):P!

I guess you all know how many ppl you get to know while traveling, because of this i have friends all over the world i would love to visit and stay in touch.

~*~Der Sinn des Reisens besteht darin, die Vorstellung mit der Wirklichkeit auszugleichen, und anstatt zu denken, wie die Dinge sein könnten, sie so zu sehen wie sie sind~*~

=The sense of traveling consists of adjusting the conception with the reality and instead of thinking, how the things could be, to see them the way they are=

*Its my life and i live it my way*
