100+ Posts
I just renewed my site, which means I’m committed to keeping this little corner of the internet going. Over 100 posts and nearly a full year in, I’m grateful for everyone who has followed along—whether you’ve read just one post or many. Here’s to more fun moments, cultural observations, and whatever else sparks curiosity along…

The Oscars
Yesterday, I watched the Oscars in full for the first time. Back in Europe, the Oscars were something I woke up to—headlines, clips, a few standout moments, and of course, a review of the dresses. Watching the entire ceremony live? Not really a thing. But now that I’m in the U.S., I figured I’d do…

Back to work
But Still Thinking of that Beach! The city is cold, the office is the opposite of a beachfront escape, and my inbox is full. Still, my mind keeps wandering back to that soft sand and turquoise water—long walks, lazy lunches, no schedule to follow. A nice contrast to today’s reality. So for now, it’s back…

Cobá
Deep in the Yucatán jungle, the ruins of Cobá offer a glimpse into the grandeur of the ancient Maya civilization. Once a major trade hub with 50,000 inhabitants at its peak, Cobá’s vast network of sacbeob (white stone roads) connected it to distant cities. Unlike the polished ruins of Tulum, Cobá still feels wild—roots creeping…

Starting the year strong
I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions. Growth doesn’t need a specific date — life is always evolving. But this year, I want to focus on strength. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Strength to set boundaries, let go of what no longer serves me, and make space for joy. I want to…

Making It Count
Time moves quietly, slipping past as we plan and postpone. But life isn’t meant to be put on hold. It’s happening now — in the laughter, the detours, and the everyday moments we often overlook. I’ve learned that living fully isn’t about perfection or grand gestures. It’s about being present, embracing change, saying yes more…

Wintergarten Berlin
The Wintergarten Varieté in Berlin is a step back in time—a venue where vintage charm meets contemporary flair. I recently spent an evening there for a show paying tribute to Josephine Baker, and it was a wonderful blend of entertainment and history. The performances captured Baker’s essence: playful, bold, and captivating. From dazzling dance numbers…

Holiday Party Season
Holiday parties have long been a way to mark the season, bringing people together for food, conversation, and a bit of cheer. This week, I was lucky to attend one—well-organized and fun, held in a cool, modern location. The food was great, the music lively, and the space perfect for celebrating. It goes to show…

Vorweihnachtszeit
Today marks the 1st Advent, a special moment in der Vorweihnachtszeit—Germany’s pre-Christmas period. Each Sunday leading up to Christmas, a candle is lit on an Advent wreath, a tradition that started in the 19th century to mark the countdown to the holiday. This year, I’m especially looking forward to the season. New York City feels…

World pasta day
Did you know yesterday (Oct 25) was World Pasta Day? I had no idea either. One of the perks of living in this city is the regular pop-ups and promotional booths handing out little freebies (or reminding you it’s time to celebrate something). On my way to work, I passed by one giving out free…
