    Yes, I was there this summer. The monastery, the church, the museum, the library and the gardens that overlook the Danube are wonderful. Besides, I bought some apricot liquor and local wine.

    To all my old and new friends all over the world :)

    I am overwhelmed - I barely find the words to describe how I feel. Maybe it's like flying or being a shining star :) I really won the competition for the trip to Galapagos.
    It is my dream since I was a little kid - I never missed one documentary :) even though back then I could not even think to be there one day... I heard so beautiful things about Galapagos. About lying in the grass and that the finches sit on you because they never felt any harm and so they are curious and not scared. I heard stories about the big ancient tortoises and the iguana... And last not least about the amazing fish like hammerhead sharks over there... On my last trip I was close to that paradise but I didn't have enough money to go and I knew about the restrictions (limited visitors etc). But I never stopped dreaming about it.
    Then out of the blue I found out about this great competition to win a trip to Galapagos. As you can imagine I didn't hesitate to enter! I posted the link on my facebook wall and ask all my friends to click it... Just click/vote for a friends dream - it doesn't hurt and is free :)
    Then one night few weeks later I came home from a job reading my emails - and found the email of Pokin telling me I was seriously in the finals... I was shocked - I thought it was spam. But I followed the link and found my picture with the 'Vote me' button next to it. So that was real and for me that was the initial point where I started to pursue my dream with all the energy I had. Wining the Galapagos trip became a mission  - it became my priority No1 for three weeks! I could not think about anything else than wining that trip and therefore I started to open up fan clubs in facebook and ask old and new friends kindly to vote for me.... But imagine I already won during that competition  - I met the most interesting people all over the world and could become their friend :) I had great conversations and discussions I will not miss one day. But I have to admit I felt the exhaustion - for three weeks I never slept more than 5-6 hours. I took/take my friends serious but taking care and having great conversations was an almost 24h job. I really enjoyed that time :) I am glad that I made over 400 new friends, over 250 reviews and articles with photos and a facebook fan group with over 70 members in just three weeks! The feedback was amazing  -  had not expected that. It inspired me and people felt inspired by me and told me that - what more can you wish for?
    Now I won and I am speechless!
    And let me tell YOU - without all your support and faith I would not be here! You all made this miracle happen... And you proof my philosophy of life: Dream big! Have dreams and always pursue them - no matter what! Make your dreams to your priority! And have faith in yourself and in others :) And always give back as much as you can :)
    Therefore I promise I will do the best photos and blog and hopefully video :)
    I also wanna thank the other competitors - you were great and it was a hard but fair competition. I feel honored to be the one and I will do everything to proof you all I am worth it :) I surely will never forget this three weeks  - there are a part of me now!

    Thank you! Love, dreams and sunshine to all of you, Su :)



    Everest trekking offers you great opportunity to have unique experience. The Everest area is situated in eastern Nepal. It is protected by the Sagarmatha National Park, established in 1976 with an area of 1148 square kilometers. The park is largely composed of the rugged terrain and gorges of the high Himalayas. Altitude ranges from 2845 meters above sea level (9,330ft) to the top of the world,  Mt. Everest at 8848 meters (29,028ft). Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, which is known in Nepal as "Sagarmatha" the goddess mother of the world, has long been the greatest attraction for nature lovers and trekkers alike. Solukhumbu, the heartland of the Everest Region  and an integral part of the Himalayan mystique, thus provides a welcome destination for these adventurers.
    Throughout this trek trekkers are overwhelmed with views of unbelievable peaks, Buddhist monasteries, and friendly Sherpa villages. Perhaps some may even have a glance of the Yeti! The local people believe that the Pangboche Monastery actually has in its possession the real scalp of this Himalayan legend. As we proceed slowly to allow for maximum acclimation, we will have plenty of opportunity to visit monasteries and sherpa homes of this region. Most of our Sherpa crew come from the Sherpa households of this area. Incredible views of Everest and the surrounding peaks are the inescapable fare while we ascend Kala Patthar.
    Top of the world, Third pole, Peak XV, Chhomolongma, Sagarmatha, and Everest are the names of the first highest peak of the world. The trek to Everest Base Camp on the Nepal side is one of the most popular trekking routes in the Himalayas and is visited by thousands of trekkers each year. This famous trek offers breathtaking mountain panorama with full of inspiration. This trip includes the panoramic view from Kalapatthar, Khumbu glacier, Tengboche monastery etc. Hike up to Kala Patthar and hiking on Khumbu glacier to reach your final goal is the most challenging part of your whole trip. The highest point of this trekking is Kalapatthar which is 5555 meters above sea level from where the stunning view of Mt. Everest is anticipating your arrival on this your most waited pretty spot.
