Beach Day
Back home in NYC—greeted by thunderstorms and a flood watch—I am thinking back to the last day of the Rome trip, spent at the beach in Santa Marinella. Just an hour outside the city, it’s a little glimpse of that Italian Riviera feeling. The town is charming and low-key, with umbrellas and sun loungers lining…

Una Notte Al Colosseo
I’ve officially started my vacation—and I’m back in one of my favorite cities: Rome. My first evening combined two things the city does best: food and history. Classic Roman dishes for dinner, followed by a night tour of the Colosseum. The Notte al Colosseo event runs during the summer months and was such a highlight.…

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…

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…

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…

On my way to San Francisco to attend my friend’s wedding and it feels like going home! I know I’ve only lived there for two years but I have so many great memories. I’ve explored, enjoyed and savoured my time there and if you’re curious about what I was up to, you can check out…

Green oasis
After I spent a wonderful week with my family in one of the most peaceful areas of Berlin, it is time for me to fly home to NYC. It’s been blissfully quiet, relaxing and full of culinary highlights. I relished the time with my loved ones and after spending every possible minute in the forrest…

Berliner Currywurst
Is so tasty! I could end this post with this statement only and encourage you to visit Berlin and try for yourself. But let me give you some fun facts as well. 1. There are heated discussions about who invented the dish and makes the tastiest version: Berlin vs. Hamburg vs. The Ruhr area. You…

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…
