Revisiting the Liepnitzsee
June has given us some amazing weather in Berlin. Last summer I spent so much time studying and deprived myself from truly enjoying the most beautiful time of year in Berlin. Although I am still serious about finishing my studies this year and need to dedicate some serious time to…
Berlin hikes: the Müggelberge
A short walk from the Müggelsee to the Langer See in Berlin The last time I visited the Müggelsee lake was about a year ago. I took my bike for a ride to the Seebad Friedrichshagen for a swim in the lake. This time I spent the afternoon walking from…
Hikes of Berlin: Wannsee to Potsdam
I had such a great idea. Let’s go hiking on the hottest day of the week! I think the thermometer got to about 36 degrees and yet it felt perfect when I started my walk in the morning at the Wannsee S-bahn station. I’d picked a 15 km walk with…

The perfect round trip
This summer I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Swiss alps twice. I fell in love, with the fresh air, the mountains, the activities… all of it. We were based in Interlaken, where a bunch of towns have all grown towards each other in between two big…
6 days later
It’s day 6 and I have generally no clue what day it is or what date for that matter. Things have been going crazy fast. For the first time I’m actually doing something entirely for myself. I’m constantly running from here to there to organize dinners, transport or activities. If…
