Me, the pint and Uppsala

For me, everything started with the conversation you see below. A friend of mine from Germany randomly sent me the link to a trailer for Pint of Science France. She had spent a semester in Paris and attended a Pint of Science-event there. I had never heard of it before, but my spontaneous idea was […]

A short moving typology

For the past month my life has been dominated by one activity: moving. I’m an expert now. And I’ve discovered some very different ways of moving. The party move Fifteen people arriving in the morning, everything’s packed, sandwiches are prepared. After not even five hours the work is done and we’re having a barbecue at […]

About giving away things

There is a trend called minimalism. People living in empty flats, owning hardly more than a coffee cup, some jeans and t-shirts, a pair of Nike-shoes and a Macbook. I am not a minimalist. Rather a convinced maximalist. Of course, I don’t support buying meaningless stuff, wasting resources and glorifying capitalism. But I do own […]

How to find a place to live in U

I had started to look for a place to stay in U and to understand the true meaning of the term accommodation crisis. Then, things happened: My friend Michelle once lived in U. Her friend Tabea owns a flat in U and is renting it out to Miryam. As she won’t be there under the […]

The journey goes on

The last days in Dortmund didn’t make it easy to leave. To be correct, I haven’t really left Dortmund, I still have my flat there and plan to come back. But at least during the next couple of weeks I won’t be there. Instead, I decided for another adventure, a real one. Try out something […]

Adventure awaits!

It’s been a long time since you heard from me and the simple reason for it is the lack of interesting stuff happening in my life. Probably, the last months most relevant event is that I finished my master thesis. But even that didn’t seem worth 1000 characters. It’s not that special in the end. […]

Cheers, Colo-gne-rado!

My friend Nate happens to have a friend who just opened a brewery in Denver. We decided to check it out and wanted to go there for lunch and a beer, even though Zuni Street Brewery is quite far away from Downtown. No worries, we thought, a bit of walking can’t do no harm… But […]

Way out west

I remember how I already as a kid had wanted to travel to the United States – because of the landscape, not the people, as I always stressed. I admit, I had a lot of prejudices. Which means that being invited by a friend from Colorado was probably the best thing that could have happened. […]

Running Campus

I once heard a saying that doing things for the first time will keep you young. I’m not bothered about my age yet, but I try to keep doing first-time-stuff anyway. It’s exciting! My today’s new experience was joining a running event, mentally supported by my friend Linda. In fact she has contributed significantly to […]

Travelling north!

I’ve heard people comparing Stockholm and Hamburg before, saying that the cities feel similar. I never agreed, until I travelled to Hamburg again last weekend and actually was reminded of Stockholm. Maybe because of the water, maybe because of the beautiful weather (which Stockholm always has, of course.) Or maybe due to the number of […]
