4th of July
This year has been special as it’s my first Independence Day in New York City and the first time that the firework display isn’t hidden behind thick fog (shoutout to Karl 😉) So in true American fashion, I made burgers for dinner and enjoyed the fireworks from a front row seat with a chilled glass…

Tiny leaves
Walking along the sidewalks in Manhattan is brutal in summer. Not only because of the sweltering heat amplified by concrete and the sun bouncing off those glass facades, but also because of the apparent absence of trees and plants and therefore lack of shade.

If you followed me in San Francisco, you know that I like to go to the movies and enjoy a big tub of popcorn. Having some trouble getting used to the buttery, salty stuff you get in the US, I’m always trying to find a sweet option. Which is difficult in itself as most sweet…

I‘m back!
This week is flying by! Tackling jet lag and the after-vacation-work-craziness, I just realised that tomorrow is already Friday. Meaning the weekend is close- thankfully 😅 Getting used to the big city life again, I wanted to share another of these charming sidewalk graffiti’s from GOAT (check out my first post about the artist here…

Die Ampelmännchen
Shown on pedestrian signals in Germany are the beloved ‚Ampelmännchen‘. A green walking one for go and a red one for stop. Prior to the reunification of East and West Germany, each part had its own figures but the ones from Eastern Germany gained huge popularity and cult status and have since been adopted beyond…

Mexikoplatz Berlin
Is one of the oldest transit stations and a small, idyllic place altogether. The heritage listed station was erected in 1904 and is one of the few Art Nouveau buildings in Berlin. It is surrounded by a well-kept courtyard and houses the weekly farmers market offering the freshest regional produce (goes without saying that it’s not taking…

Aaand Relax!
I made it home! To one of the lush green neighbourhoods Berlin has to offer. The recent rain cleaned the air and the fresh smell caries the scent of the conifers and blooming flowers. Today I woke up to the birds singing, and started the day with yoga & meditation. Followed by a tasty brunch…

Journey home
About to board a plane to Berlin- my first trip home in 2,5 years! So excited to spend some quality time with my family and soak up all the beautiful nature Berlin has to offer. Yes, for real! You just need to know where to go! I’ll keep you posted but expect it to be…
