Mermaiding: Fun with Fins in Cuba

The first time I did mermaiding in the Philippines a couple of years ago. I was so taken by it that I wanted to try it again. As soon as I had bought a mermaid tail online, I could entertain myself on any beach. Recently, I managed to swim in Cuba, off the island of Cayo Guillermo. This is an absolutely ridiculous pastime, but it brings me great pleasure. Sometimes, I’m a bit lazy to drag the mermaid tail along on a trip because it’s quite bulky and you can’t pack it in a suitcase, but it weighs very little and is not difficult to carry around.

  • It’s no secret that the Seychelles are considered to be one of the most beautiful island groups in the world, with the most stunning scenic views. But do they really deserve the hype? The best way to find out is to check them out for yourself, which we did. After visiting a lot of other islands in the world like Hawaii, the Canary Islands and Mauritius, we were eager to compare them to this so-called paradise.

  • Go to one of the many coffee plantations on the island and get to know this cute little place while trying the most expensive coffee in the world, Luwak.

  • As a big fan of and frequent visitor to the Maldives, I’m often asked which accommodation is best when travelling to these sunny islands. On Angsana Velavaru, the choice is obvious – it has to be a water villa. Angsana’s second Maldivian property, which has a strong Asian feel, is most notable for its ‘InOcean’ water villas. Their uniqueness lies in their remoteness from the shore and absolute privacy – the stand-alone structures are situated a kilometre from the main island and are reachable only by boat across the lagoon.

  • Small and compact – Four Seasons at Kuda Huraa has just about everything you wish for – from amazing water sports and a surfing school to private yacht fishing cruises and fine dining...

  • Imagine having a private island in a luxury setting with only you and your staff that serves to make your stay perfect. This is how it feels when you arrive at Dusit Thani Maldives – an incredible green island with white sand beaches and a sparkling blue lagoon.

  • Sankara Ubud is a heavenly rainforest-shrouded sanctuary in Bali's spiritual capital, Ubud. We planned to visit just for a single day, but decided we had to return. The place is just perfect for enjoying some rest and relaxation and as a base for exploring Ubud.
