I Break The News

Hello dear readers! You know by now, on this blog we are bringing you positivity and inspiration. And today we are adding a culinary adventure to the mix! 'No DM’s, no swiping, no pretences, just authentic human connection.' There is an app for that! Introducing:  TIMELEFT . The application to book your seat on a dinner table with 5 strangers at a top restaurant in your city.  Every Wednesday !  An experience commemorating the return of Human Connection .  Imagine living in a big and hectic city. Because of the fast paced life, you do not have as many friends as you would like to have. You are not alone.  Many people feel the same way and are in the exact same situation. To help tackle this issue TIMELEFT was created. The French app that is bringing together a group of strangers for one night at a highly rated restaurant. How it works : You sign up. You answer several questions about yourself, your likes and dislikes and overall personal preferences. The algori...

Wenn auch Du denkst dass der einzig richtige Weg,  aus der sich immer weiter zuspitzenden Lage in der Ukraine, Gespräche und Verhandlungen statt immer weiterer Waffenlieferungen sind, kannst Du hier die Petition für den Frieden unterschreiben. Außerdem findet am 25sten Februar um 14 Uhr eine Kundgebung vor dem Brandenburger Tor in Berlin statt . Desto mehr Teilnehmer sich dort einfinden, desto mehr wird der Gesuch nach Verhandlungen die zu Frieden führen können, gehört. Solltest Du also gerade vor Ort sein und diese Einstellung teilen, kannst Du dich gern den anderen anschließen die ebenfalls durch Vernunft etwas bewirken wollen,  als die Krise durch weitere Waffenlieferungen immer weiter anzuheizen. Hier kannst Du weitere Informationen finden.

Hello my dear readers! Many things have happened recently and everything went pretty fast so I am going to update you a little. Last month I went to Berlin to see what's up and also, to visit my former workplace NBC Universal . Or I should probably say, the place where they used to be located, right next to the Brandenburg Gate, one of the major tourist attractions. The Starbucks on the corner is still there!  As an attentive reader, you probably know by now, that I used to live and work in many different countries. USA, England and Canada. So much so, that people sometimes tend to question my nationality. Just to clear that up - I am German. When you go back a few generations there is bit of Czech Republic in our family tree too. But often times I wish I would be more exotic! :D Another thing I have always been wishing for, was to have family members around the world. So I could visit and freely decide, where I want to live and work but for me it is just no...

The question is: Would we or would we not like to go on a comfortable journey  from London to Berlin   on the legendary  Orient Express ?  The loud and clear answer is: YES! We definitely would! :) From tomorrow on, this route really exists and will also make a quick stop at Paris along the way. Talking about a travel adventure! With prices starting from £2,210 per person for a round trip, we have to keep blogging for a while and sell some ad space before this can become reality. As it says in the press release : 'Travelling in the original art-deco carriages of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, evokes the glamour of the roaring 1920s.  Departing London on Thursday 2 June, the 2 day, 1 night journey from London to Berlin allows guests the time to slow down, relax and enjoy the journey as the train makes its way through Northern France; traversing the German countryside and arriving in time to spend the weekend in one of Europe’s most fas...

   Alexanderplatz - Berlin Zentrum Hello dear readers and a Happy New Year 2016 to you! May you have a year full of clarity, joy and memorable moments. As you might have noticed, I took a little break from the blog but now here I am - back again. Today I want to share a little travel adventure via plane, train and even bus, with you. In December I took my annual Christmas break and went to my hometown in East Germany. As always family time is my main priority but this time there was something else on the holiday schedule too - a 3 day trip to Berlin ! Let's just ignore the fact that I was living there for 1 year in 2006, because a few things have changed and I was able to re-visit the capital from the perspective of a tourist.  We wanted to make full use of our time in Berlin, so we had to make sure to find a place as close to the center as possible.   We found a very nice, small and inexpensive flat from which you could even see the TV to...
