Living a dream
Authors . Student life . TravelEveryone has one or even more dreams that wants to make come true. I’m living mine, but I have to start from the beginning. Hi readers, I’m Greta, I’m 20 and I’m from Italy. The Latins used to say “omen nomen” when someone has a name that reflects his/her characteristics or passions. I think that

When the goodbye is just for now.
Student life . TravelI 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

Care about human rights? Stop watching football
Authors . Culture . Politics . Society . Sports . TravelFootball 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”. This week, the Spanish Super Cup is played.

Let me introduce you: Tina Vekua!
Culture . Student life . TravelI had this interview with my very interesting and beautiful new friend, whom I met during the language preparatory courses in German.

Nobody asks an office worker to write a book
Culture . Excursions . Health . Society . TravelThe cliché about every person having a story to tell might seem extreme.

Some words about me
Student life . TravelHey! My name is Milana Gadzhieva. It seems to me that by my name and surname it’s easy to guess that I am from Russia. However, almost every time I meet new people abroad, I’m told that I don’t look like a “Russian” because I have black hair and eyes. And it makes me happy

What if I didn’t go to Munich?
Culture . Student life . TravelOkay, before I take you through this thought experiment here’s a few things that wouldn’t have changed: I would still be: named Nikolaj (I guess), 28 years old (but now I’m the old guy among the Erasmus students haha), Danish, working in radio (for 3-4 years now), loving storytelling using sound, a big football and

Welcome to All About Me!
Authors . City life . Culture . Media . Research@IfKW . Student life . Travel . UncategorizedHello, My name is Gabrielle Gez but I am much more comfortable with just Gabi. For the most part, only my mother calls me Gabrielle and it is usually used when I am in trouble; so my full name is actually quite intimidating to hear. What am I? Whilst being in Munich where I am

To leave, or not to leave, that is the question!
Society . Student life . TravelChoosing to apply for an exchange semester is not an obvious or easy choice, and it is not always only rainbows and butterflies: I have discussed it with two former Erasmus students and friends, Chiara and Francesca, to gain a double perspective on this experience.

Travel“There’s something about the thousands of glittering lights, the veil of nighttime that almost makes this place beautiful, especially in the reflection of the water. It makes everything askew, disoriented. There’s more truth in a ripple of water than in a clear day.”― Ellie Lieberman, Society Foundings This quote brilliantly describes any Russian capital vititor’s reaction
