Welcome to Fernweh Blonde
Hi I’m Fernweh Blonde and welcome to my blog!
I chose this name for my blog because 1) I’m blonde, and 2) because fernweh is part of who I am. It’s the desire to go to a far away place, and that’s something I will never get enough of.
This started out as a means of expression, and it’s turned into something of a lifestyle blog covering everything from travel, writing, as well as day-to-day experiences.
I hope you enjoy – be sure to like, subscribe and follow!
Greece
It’s one of my favourite places in the world. I revisit it time and time again, and on every trip, I find something new. It eternally surprises me. I’ve been there when it’s been 40oC, and when the snow is ankle-deep. But I love the heat. In Greece it’s a dry warmth that fills your…

This plan of theirs has sparked off ideas of my own. We’ve long talked about living and working abroad – Italy, Greece,…
Work and Play
A lot of the time we don’t get to work, and get paid for doing the things we love. It’s a rare occasion, and certainly cause for celebration, when the happy coincidence arises and we get to do something we love, and even better, get recognised for it. I’m writing this after a long day…
The call of the sea
I cannot express how much I am missing the sea at the moment. I love the way that the spray splashes onto your face, the taste of the salt in the air. I sail too. So that’s made things even harder – being denied one of my favourite hobbies. I’m not that sailor though. I…
Tricked by the weather
The weekend was glorious. I opened my bleary eyes to see the sun pouring through the blinds. I cracked the window and warm air slid into the room – bliss! I broke out a t-shirt from the confines of my wardrobe for the first time in months, and I dared to go out without a…
