🇩🇪 Actually, I am not much of pumpkin lover, but every year in fall I crave one. Last year I tried butternut squash (here’s the recipe) . This year I killed an hokkaido pumpkin – it jumped right at me at the farmer’s market. The great thing about hokkaidos is that you don’t have to…

The Power of Encouragement
🇩🇪 One of my favourite Saturday morning activities is a stroll over the farmer’s market right around the corner – the smell, the noise, the bustling about. One thing in particular caught my eye last week. A young man of about 10 years knealing in a corner, strumming his tiny guitar, singing a few songs…
Change of course.
🇩🇪 Events rarely occur as planned. I’d say we all know a thing or two about that. Right now things are crazy in my life: plans are frustrated, made, rejected and brought up again. The hardest part about planning, however, is letting go of a long-held plan. This is where I come very close to…
The Grand Tour
🇩🇪 There are several reasons that made me ponder about my year abroad more than usual; I gave advice, spoke to friends I met during that time and wallowed in memories. Every time I indulge in my adventures I become grateful – grateful to myself, that I dared this experience. The idea of the Grand…
Chocolate plait
🇩🇪 I always roam the web for new recipes and I stumbled across a video about a pastry, that is easy and quick to make and also needs only few ingredients. Naturally, I tested the whole thing for you ;) Ingredients: 1 pack of flaky dough (as for croissants) 1-2 chocolate bars 1 eggs 1…
It is about humans, not facts
🇩🇪 My dears, I am knee deep into my finals which is why you don’t hear much from me. But as of late, I’ve been asked repeatedly what these „humanities“ are that I am studying. Well, instead of memorizing historical facts as we did in school we study the people involved, we try to figure…
Tortilla de patatas – Spanish cooking

Break free, take a deep breath and restart
🇩🇪 The end of this semester is coming closer and more and more often I find myself shutting myself up to meet my tasks and workload for university. That’s okay, but dangerous. Each semester I have to force myself not to throw my phone out of the open window and be like „See you all…
Soul striptease
I know, I know. I’ve been slacking off. But muse is a fickle beast, that sometimes refuses to be tamed – or in my case, she didn’t want to divide her attention on two projects. You can’t ride on two horses with one ass. So, what was I upt o in my absence? I knuckled…
In my sister’s shoes
I love travelling and I already lived abroad for several months on two occasions. Saying goodbye wasn’t too hard on me. Obviously, because for me it meant the beginning of a new adventure; new country, new culture, new people. Now has come the time and for the first time I am among the people who…
