🇩🇪 Every now and then I treat myself with the luxury of walking down memory lane and thinking of the past journeys I made so far. Then I look at old pictures and somehow I find new details every time. A beautiful flower, interesting people and today it was a heart caved by nature into…

The wrong day
🇩🇪 Actually, I should’ve known it. No, actually I did know it. Well, I had a guess. This Tuesday was not normal. For those, who don’t know me that well; I am an extremely positive person. That doesn’t mean that I don’t like to bicker every now and then, but at the end of the…
🍸 Limonada de vino 🍸
Heute kurz und knackig; ich habe einer spanischen Abuela ihr Rezept für Limonada de vino abluchsen können, auch besser bekannt als Sangria. Es ist genauso lecker wie simpel: 1 Liter Wein 3/4 Liter Wasser 200-300 Gr Zucker Saft von 5 Zitronen 1 Zitronen, aufgeschnitten Alles zusammen mischen, umrühren, bis sich der Zucker auflöst und ein…
La virgin de San Lorenzo – A town in uproar
🇩🇪 The virgin of San Lorenzo is the patron saint of Valladolid and naturally that’s a reason to celebrate. I’ve only experienced village-sized patron celebrations so far: on a Sunday, after the service with pea soup in huge pots and homemade potato salads the size of laundry baskets. Here, however, is the celebration SLIGHTLY bigger….
❀From countrygirl to environmental activist❀
🇩🇪 I am an environmental activist in my own special way. Media often presents environmental activists as people with dreadlocks, clothes out of organic cotton and jute pouches. Treehuggers, pacifists and nut jobs. Sure, there are really people like that, but most of us are actually rather average. Who did I get into this? Well,…
Myth: Siesta
🇩🇪 We all heard about it but it was a rather abstract concept to me nevertheless: the Siesta. Somehow I always associated it with a Mexican taking a nap in front of his house, a sombrero pulled in his face. The whole thing is actually very real and after having lived here for a few…
Versions.
🇩🇪 A scene as you might find it nearly anywhere. Just that I am not at home in Germany but sitting at slightly under 90 degrees on a park bench, enjoying the last rays of sunshine. This is where I’ll live for the next five months. Sure, it is very beneficial to my Spanish studies…
Auf den letzten Drücker. – Last minute.
Hast Du jemals versucht für mehrere Monate zu verreisen? Es ist zwar nicht mein erstes Mal und doch frage ich mich mal wieder: was ist eigentlich wirklich wichtig? Wie man sieht, ist das eine Frage die ich heute Nacht noch klären muss… Have you ever tried going away for several months? It’s not my first…
The thing about clouds
🇩🇪 Most of my favourite landscape photographs display some clouds – without them it would be kinda boring. And it’s the same way with all other things in life as well, right? Without clouds no shade, without rain no rainbow. Sometimes it just need a thunderstorm, so that you can see everything a little bit…
One man, one goal, one adventure
🇩🇪 Now that I am off lectures for summer break I finally had some time on my hands to read a book written by a German author. As a student of foreign languages one has to read so much for university that you are concludingly likely to neglect your – actually quite awesome – national…
