A bright life change

Munich: the capital, the largest and most important city of the Federal State of Bavaria and the third city of Germany by number of inhabitants. It is located on the river Isar by the north of the Bavarian Alps. That would be an objective and brief definition of the place I now call ”home”. But Read More

WONDERING WHATS NEXT

I was born in the capital of a country full of cultural diversity. I was born among the smiles and delicious food of a warm and cheerful society. Colombia is a very big country, full of colorful and exotic landscapes, but also of cities that never, ever sleep. As expected, each country has a specific Read More

Is eating a “100 years old egg” in Berlin a crime?

Today I am twenty years old. Each day I have a lunch and a dinner like most of us have in our European countries. Every month I will eat fifty-six meals. During a year, my stomach and intestines will digest almost 2968 lunches and dinners. That is a lot, I know. But most of the Read More

Cultural Experiences. Brummies and the Bavarians.

I am from the middle of nowhere. Imagine a tiny country village with houses, cows and a bus stop with a bus that comes every hour. Then imagine that but more remote, and that is South Horrington. Yep google it, it’s just houses. Culture to me was any big city, some new people and a Read More

TWO HOMES, ONE CHRISTMAS

It was 9.30 in the morning and I woke up to the smell of hot chocolate and Churros. Michael’s Bublé Christmas album was being played downstairs and meanwhile I could hear my little sister calling our mom to show her the almost invisible layer of snow covering our garden: Mom! It’s finally snowing, c´mon take Read More

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

A summer day in Bern Indulging life in Marzili and Eichholz The sun shines on my back, the blades of grass glide through my fingers, around me the spoken words mix to a background noise that makes me sleepy. The conversations lose their meaning, the words no longer have any meaning, everything combines to a Read More

A festival, a boat and saving a bunny from starvation

While I personally don’t often set out to view nature myself, I have a lot of friends who feel a strong connection to nature. I can experience nature as beautiful as much as any other person, however it usually isn’t my idea of spending time. That said, because some of my friends do have that Read More

To be around nature is a bliss

To be around nature is a bliss and, in some cases, even an entitlement. Having lived my life predominantly in major cities, I know first-hand how it feels to be so overwhelmed by the beauty of nature that you start to become a bit emotional (or maybe it’s just my emotional self). Being in Munich Read More

“In der Natur fühlen wir uns so wohl, weil sie kein Urteil über uns hat.” (Nietzsche)

I have never had such a love relationship with nature before. Totally in awe-inspiring astonishment about beauty and strength. A breathtaking landscape, the innocent, playful, funny pets, and the resilience of Mother Earth. The more we drift away from nature as humanity, the greater my desire to go back to nature. With everything we do Read More

My growing appreciation for nature

When I think about nature in the Netherlands, I immediately get a negative feeling, especially in the winter months. Grey skies, a lot of rain and the cold. When I lived in the Netherlands, I rather stayed inside with a cup of hot chocolate and watching Netflix movies than go out of the house. Thinking Read More
