Athens to Rhodes on the overnight ferry
You often hear travel is all about the journey, not the destination. And the journey certainly counts. Over the years I’ve gathered a lot of good memories and interesting stories on old, crowded buses crawling over bumpy roads, on trains that seemed to have come straight from the past or…
Running on the Greek islands
If you travel with someone who’s training for a marathon, you can’t really escape doing some exercise on your holiday. And not being able to do my regular classes, I thought I’d join for a few running sessions. Whereas my boyfriend ran in each city we visited, including Athens at…
Did I tell you how much I love Symi?
The photos on blogs and Instagram were incredible. It seemed like there was the perfect town, right from a fairytale on a tiny island off the coast of Turkey. Once I’d settled on going to the area of Rhodes in Greece I knew I had to put Symi on the…
A different kind of adventure
Full of excitement I got on the plane. It felt strange. The 8 months in which I didn’t leave Berlin-Brandenburg felt like a lifetime to me. And now I was on a plane again, leaving from an almost empty airport. Like last year my destination was Greece, only this time…
Looking back at the GDR in the Kulturbrauerei
It’s strange to walk through the city these days. Guides stand in the middle of the sidewalk, bike tours race by, people have cameras around their neck and the terraces are full of people having breakfast, even on a weekday. Tourism is returning to the streets of Berlin. It’s minimal,…
A trip to New Venice
A trip to New Venice. Doesn’t sound so bad. After a long time of not traveling this certainly sparks the imagination. But for today no gondolas, pasta or pigeons on St. Marc’s square. Instead I took an S-bahn to the outskirts of Berlin, met up with some colleagues and started…
Finally weekend again
It’s been a busy few weeks. I’ve moved and it feels like the last few weeks were filled with online shopping, planning, moving stuff, painting, moving more stuff and painting again. Slowly my new place is coming together and slowly I’ve got more time to do other things. As it…
The pink of summer at Kirschenblütenallee
It’s been a looooong winter. And it doesn’t seem to end. I look outside the window and see dark clouds looming in the sky. Summer is absolutely fantastic in Berlin, but somehow Mother Nature decided to make us wait. As if the ongoing lockdown isn’t enough… But occasionally she surprises…
Overview of the 66 Seen Weg
About a year ago I decided to go on an adventure in my own backyard. Ok, it’s a relatively new backyard, but I feel like we often forget about what’s close to us, regardless of how long we’ve been in a place. The grass always seems greener somewhere else. If…
