When thinking of Sylt many love it’s outstanding and varying landscape. Others love and live it’s outstanding offer for the rich and beautiful with pricing for houses exceeding almost every other around the nation….
What seems to be an eastern dump of 56 inhabitants right across the former border between East and West-Germany turns out to be a spot rich in hospitality, laid-back attitude and an openness I would not have expected.

Lithuania, a country on the outskirts of the EU, member of the Baltic tigers, small but beautiful. I once called it a ‚mickey mouse country‘ and after having been there several times, admittedly that is wrong….
