Living in Brisbane

September 11, 2019

First things first: I bought a car! I really really tried to go everywhere by bike but yeah in big cities you kind of need a car. It’s tiny and black and it drives perfectly! Right now it comes in really handy as I have been offered loads of Zumba classes around Brisbane, literally AROUND. So I’m driving...

Moving to Australia

August 11, 2019

It’s been a month already since I moved onto the next country, for the time being my final destination – Australia! Or more specific: Brisbane, Queensland on the East Coast of Australia. cultural stationsouthbankroma park After living the island life for 6 months and especially after living on the...

Escaping to Fiji

June 29, 2019

After 2 months in Bali I really really needed a change of scenery. Not only didn’t I know what to eat anymore but the whole digital nomad scene in Canggu was kind of putting me off more and more. All asian countries were out of question as I would have the same problem with the food as in Indonesia and it was too early for...

being back in Canggu

May 3, 2019

It’s fascinating how time flies by when all you wanna do is slow down… another month has passed which I spent entirely in Canggu. Due to a very nasty but also very common sickness called “bali belly” I didn’t get on the plane to Thailand this week but extended my Visa for another month...

traveling Myanmar

April 2, 2019

It’s save to say that I now got my REAL South East Asia experience besides being in Bali and Singapore before. Myanmar takes your breath away – and I mean literally, you cannot breathe! But let’s start from the beginning and heads up it’s more like a travel report: After 2 days in Singapore which...

saying goodbye

March 5, 2019

Greetings from Sanur, the hotspot for …. old people! Yep no kidding, everywhere I look I see +60. Guess that is because of the white-sand beach, clear water and the less scooter/ more bicycle traffic. But I like it! It makes you literally slow down after busy-hipster Canggu. Originally I only planned to stay for...

living in Bali

February 14, 2019

It’s been over 2 weeks now that I am living in Bali, Indonesia, and this is what’s it like: After a week in Canggu I fled for Uluwatu, where it is supposed to be less hectic, more nature/ beach-life and less tourists. After my first night there in another hostel I decided though that hostelrooms/ -life...

becoming a nomad

February 1, 2019

This is it people, I took the leap and am now in Bali, THE digital nomad hub. After a 12 hour flight to Kuala Lumpur and another 3 hour flight to Denpasar, I was finally there – and started sweating immediately! Boy, is it hot here, and what a dramatic change to snowy Germany! For the better of course. I had a...

being home

January 6, 2019

As I imaged 4 weeks ago, I am now sitting at my mum’s kitchen table, with wooly socks, drinking tea and writing my 3rd blog article. I have to say it’s challenging for me to even do the every-4-weeks update here, it does feel like writing a diary, and I only ever wrote a diary while being away traveling....

losing baggage

December 8, 2018

I have only 2 weeks left in Stuttgart, my current residence, before going home to Münster for Christmas, and it already feels like I am doing everything for the last time. I am trying to see as many friends as possible after work and dancing in the kitchen with my flatmate as much as possible as well. Around this time...
