Sparkling ‚clean‘
Getting on an empty and freshly cleaned train is a good start to your early morning commute! Well, to level-set expectations: the floor was wiped with something that looks like it never gets rinsed and the handrails and seats were filthy as always… But let’s appreciate the small things and in this case, the effort…

My new logo
It’s done! My new logo is ready and I hope you’ll love it as much as I do! I worked with the same young artist and kept the general design of my Josephine in San Francisco one but made it more New York-style. Check out the different elements – all things I attribute to this…

We are still children
At heart ❤️ At least I hope many of us are. It might not be in every moment of our lives, but especially on these grey days – literally and metaphorically- let’s try to keep some ease, lightheartedness and curiosity.

Time is ticking
The Union Square Metronom is a public art installation by Kristin Jones and Andrew Ginzel. It has multiple fascinating elements (a brick wall, gold leaf fragments, an enlarged bronze hand, a massive piece of bedrock to name a few) symbolising different things. If you’re intrigued, you can learn more here. The Metronome’s digital clock has…

Happy Mother’s Day
To all the wonderful mums out there (especially my mum as she’s the best 💖) Finally Mother’s Day of the country I reside falls on the same day as the one celebrated in Germany! So hopefully it’ll help me remember it in the future. Unfortunately today that didn’t work 🫣 So I hope all of…

Final night…
… in temporary housing! Today flew by as it was moving day with so many things to do! So lucky that everything went smoothly: the movers arrived on time, were friendly and helpful, and most importantly, all items made it undamaged across the country from sunny California with only a few scratches here & there…

Golden figures
Those sculptures would have given me the scares if I would have come across them at night and I wonder if they occasionally get mistaken for intruders at nighttime… But nothing to fear! They are gold dancers and adorn Bond Street #24. Considering the building’s long legacy as an arts space, they fit right in…

Train Stations
For my trip to Washington D.C. I had the pleasure to depart from and arrive at the Moynihan train hall and Union Station respectively. The former is very modern, clean and conveniently located opposite Penn station. It felt a little like an airport as boarding starts on ground level, leading you to the lowered train…

Washington Monument
As promised, the obelisk honouring George Washington, the first President of the Untied States, gets a separate post from my quick day trip to Washington D.C. With 555 feet / 169 meters it was the world’s tallest man made structure for a few years before the Eiffel Tower in Paris claimed that accolade. And it’s…

The White House
Quick business trip to Washington D.C. and I was able to carve out some time to walk by the White House and the Washington monument and get a glimpse of the Lincoln memorial and Capitol. I know, each warrants its own post, so let me start with the White House which is the official residence…
