Berlin, GermanyAs promised, stories of a happier Berlin. Berlin is really living proof of how important the weather is when it comes to travel. After an almost completely miserable first day in the city de las Artes, the sun came out in all its brilliance on day two. We did so much more on dayContinue reading #1842| berlin baby
Stuttgart, GermanySo it’s been a month since I’ve settled into my new place in Universitat Stuttgart and about a week since I’ve finished Spring semester and started my Summer one proper.. and finally it seems like my life has some semblance of order – the past three months has had a sort of unshakably temporalContinue reading #1841| An afternoon in Stuttgart
Rheinfall, Northern SwitzerlandI did say road tripping was going to become a thing, didn’t I – last weekend, we rented a Merc and drove up to Switzerland with the main aim of trying swiss cheese and healing all ailments with fresh air from the alps.

One night in Munich and we stumbled upon the most amazing street party going on. Turns out we were thereContinue reading #1826 | Love and Misadventure
Paris, FranceIs it a weird reference to make if I say I was humming the theme song of Anastasia the whole time I was there? Together in Paris and all that. Granted, I was there with my boyfriend, not long lost grandmother, but hey. Once upon a December is a good song. Had the loveliestContinue reading #1822| Together in Paris
