Wake me up when the winter ends

When I type these words, snow is falling again in Munich. The white flakes slowly cover the entire city in white, sweeping away all the bustle.

When the goodbye is just for now.

I am excited, ready, and nervous all at the same time as I prepare to make the journey to Munich. I have always wanted to be an exchange student once in my lifetime. I arrived here knowing no one; it was my first time flying alone, far from home in a country where I did Read More

Care about human rights? Stop watching football

Football is far from the innocent game of fun that it used to be when I was a child. Nowadays it’s heavenly influenced by oil money from countries with somewhat questionable “human rights”.

Let me introduce you: Tina Vekua!
