Josephine in Tulum
I needed a break—a little holiday somewhere warm, vibrant, and far removed from the relentless pace of New York. Tulum, with its white sandy beaches, lush jungle, and laid-back atmosphere, turned out to be exactly that. The shift was immediate as soon as I landed. The air was thick with humidity and warmth, the kind…

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…

Merry Xmas
Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful Christmas, wherever you may be celebrating! Here in Berlin, the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Christmas market at Schloss Charlottenburg.

Traditionally, the holiday centered around giving thanks for the harvest, but over time, it’s grown to celebrate gratitude in many forms. The classic Thanksgiving table is often filled with turkey, mashed potatoes, roasted…

Throwback
On a gloomy day like today, with rain pouring and clouds hanging low, it’s hard not to think back to earlier this year, when I lived in sunny California. Palm trees lined the streets, and stepping outside didn’t feel like such a battle with the weather. I know, California’s dealing with its own share of…

Tastes like home
And just like that, fall has arrived overnight, bringing with it cooler mornings, refreshing breezes, and longer evenings. It’s the perfect season for hearty meals and cozy nights at home. So, it was a delightful coincidence that I finally discovered a wonderfully moist and tangy 100% rye bread at a local farmers market. For those…

Wedding celebrations
I attended my friend’s wedding celebration yesterday and it was truly wonderful. Everything took place outdoors surrounded by beautiful native plants and trees, the weather was ideal (not too hot, a slight breeze), and the birds sung beautifully accompanied by the soothing background sound of burbling water from the residential pond…

Sonoma Valley
Is one of the most renowned winemaking areas north of San Francisco whose rich soils mark the birthplace of California’s wine industry. Cradled between the Mayacamas and the Sonoma Mountain ranges, The Valley sometimes gets referred to as ‘Moon Valley’ as it appears that the moon rises and sets various times behind the mountain range.…
