Travelling
It took me nearly ten years of living on a large island, and over five years of living close to the sea to be bitten by the sailing bug. Which eventually led me to Sailing in Scotland. Why? I honestly think it was a combination …
Hallo! Just in case your hair needs a colour and cut while we’re all under SARS-CoV-related restrictions… today I show you how you I colour hair naturally! The past two weeks I have been torn between producing travel posts in times when most of us …
While all travel has pretty much ground to a halt and we’re asked to stay at home, I’ve been trying to stay healthy and cook healthy vegetarian meals with few ingredients to minimise my shopping. Here in Germany, every one waited with baited breath for 19th …
So, Sunday is Corona Rant Day. However today it’s not so much as a rant. I’ll give you my two Euro cents on whether to wear a face mask. After a relatively ordered, well-oiled week here in Berlin, I feel almost calm and ordered myself. …
This blog is “normally” a travel blog, my playground to relax from my job. Which has nothing, but absolutely nothing to do with travel. But social distancing is creeping up everywhere. Except, we cannot really travel anywhere at present but to work and the nearest …
