Focus on Coffee

If someone asked me about cultural groups or subcultures 5 years ago I would share my opinion about goths or hipsters or whatever. Now I am constantly living in big cities and I position myself as capital city resident, so I have my opinion slightly changed. There are still those traditional subcultures, but society in Read More

Christmas and Culture on a Sunday

When I think of culture I think of the customs of one’s country, the way in which places can be differentiated from one another, and the way people spend their Sundays in the cold winter months. Back home in Vancouver Canada, Sundays in the month of December are busy. Officially in the thick of Christmas Read More

“wede di wosch la tribe muesch zersch losla” If you want to drift, you must let go first

Well, they do exist and together with my family I got to visit one of them: IGUAZÚ WATERFALLS. Located Read More

A peaceful easy feeling

The first two things that come to my mind when I think about nature are the mountains and the ocean. I visit both every year. There is something about these two things that make me feel at home. Whether it is the Indian Ocean while I was on a surftrip to Bali, or the Bay Read More

All’s Well That Ends Well

By Maya Lach-Aidelbaum To be perfectly honest, studying abroad in Munich was not my first choice. Berlin was. I was enamored with the idea of inhabiting the capital of Germany -a chaotic metropole known for its alternative culture, turbulent history and radical politics. However, it turns out that fate (or rather, my university’s international office) Read More
