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
Berlin Wall, GermanyMy first day in Berlin was spent wandering around the city in a haze of confusion – surely this can’t be it. After all the hype I’d been hearing about Berlin, center for the arts, city of quirks and character, the city in real life reeked undeniably of the morning after a party.Continue reading #1837| Wanderlust: Berlin Wall Brilliance
Old Town Heidelburg, GermanyMade a day trip up to the beautiful old town of Heidelberg, one of those gorgeous little European towns you find on the face of postcards. A lot of you have been asking me for day/weekend-trip suggestions around Germany, and Heidelberg is pretty much tops right now on my list. It’s smallContinue reading #1835| Wanderlust: Heidelburg
Between the wonderful, wonderful, week that was London and the beautiful accident that was Munich, there’s still the ordeal that was a 25 hour transit in Stansted Airport. I’ve resisted properly blogging about it for awhile because it was a ridiculously traumatic experience, but then again I once said I’d never (!!!) succumb to foursquareContinue reading #1832| SURVIVOR 101: NIGHTMARE AIRPORT TRANSITS

Buckingham Palace, LondonDecided to document a couple of the more memorable things I did in London, simply because I’m too lazy to actually scrapbook it, and besides, printing photosContinue reading #1830| London in snaps
München, GermanyWhere a missed flight and spontaneous booking led us. I’ll talk about the entire (+ very harrowing) experience the next time, but for now let’s just talk about how amazing these European festivals are? 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
London, Stansted AirportHello from the airport you guys. It seems to be becoming a thing where I have.. increasingly bad luck with airports. Previously, it was the ridiculously amusing (to you, not me) guangzhou experience – and now, I’m currently typing this while camped in a 24 hour cafe/bar in London’s Stansted Airport because LongContinue reading #1825| airports hate me
Reacted appropriately to my first time seeing snow. There really are no words. Thank you, Germany. x ♥jem
Have I introduced you guys to my new housemate yet? No? Anyway, meet Baloo, sixteen week old golden retriever puppy named after the Jungle Book bear. I’m more of a cat person but no one can help not immediately loving this dog.. although when I skyped Athena back home she just stalked away once BalooContinue reading #1820| Man vs. Wild
Spent an afternoon at the Kunstmuseum of Contemporary and Modern Art, Stuttgart, the other day. It was alright. Notable works include those of Otto Dix and Willi Baumeister – but even then you’d require someone to painstakingly explain the backstory of each installation to fully appreciate it. Sans guide, it’s a bit like a smallerContinue reading #1819| Being Cultured.
