Erinnerungen, schwarz auf weiß – ein Fotobuch-Test
Endlich habe ich es in Angriff genommen, mir unabhängig von Urlauben und anderen Reisen, dessen Geschichten ich auch hier erzähle, ein Fotobuch zu gestalten und ein paar Erinnerungen auf Papier zu bannen. Bis vor ein paar Jahren war meine erste Wahl Apple Fotos, da ich damit meine Bilder verwaltet hatte und die eingebaute Fotobuch-Funktion praktisch…

Around Potsdamer Platz – a short trip to Berlin
I have the pleasure to stay in Berlin this week. Our capital is less than two hours of a train ride away from Hamburg and Daniel needs to work over there. So I decided to come, too, because I was flexible this week. The hotel we stay at couldn’t be more central: Marriott Berlin at…

Non-exhaustive list of fine dining (and drinking) in Hamburg
Years of Media Management experience have brought me an extensive knowledge of some of the best options to lunch, dine and go out for drinks  in Hamburg. The following are stylish, sometimes a bit more pricy, locations where I enjoyed being taken by good folks. // 20up – fantastic seats by the window, overlooking…

Christmas memorabilia – an eclectic, international ornament collection
writing on ICE 845 from DUS to Bochum When we visited London in late November it was already Christmas-sy and wonderfully decorated. Holiday spirits were all around and especially on Oxford Street, a major shopping area in London’s city center, it all looked festive. The picture shows the famous Christmas decorations at the Carnaby Street…

Live music in the pedestrian mall in Hamburg
Today we spend the day window shopping in Hamburg city at Spitalerstraße/ Mönckebergstraße. From time to time you get lucky and have the chance to see and listen to great musicians who play a concert for free in the pedestrian area. One of these true artists is Will Robert who I, like a large crowd…

Lazy days by the sea
Thanks to two bank holidays in Germany we got to enjoy a little break from everyday life. I picked a retreat by the Baltic sea, which is a 1.5-hour-drive from Hamburg. Now, you might say, what is there to see and do, it’s not summer and certainly no bathing weather. The truth is, not really…

Halloween feeling
Last weekend we really wanted to go to the city and do something; but as always, it was raining. What else to expect as soon as you start the weekend…? What many don’t expect is that my home town offers real cool indoor activities apart from a standard museum visit. Since Halloween is coming up…

Elektro am Morgen…
EW7060 von HAM nach DUS Good morning in the morning! Boarding 06:10 ist schon tough… Daniel musste zur gleichen Zeit raus, also haben wir zum Glück einen Flieger zur gleichen Uhrzeit genommen – mit dem Unterschied, dass seiner nach Stuttgart geht und meiner nach Düsseldorf. Chauffiert wurden wir zum ersten Mal vom Tesla Shuttle-Service –…

Von Xavier, den Superhelden und einer doch geglückten Bootsfahrt
Ich rotiere. Nicht erst seit Beginn des Tages, denn ich hatte neben der Arbeit „mal eben“ unser Team-Event organisiert. 40-50 Teilnehmer, ein Klacks. Die Kombination Donnerstagabend und Oktober ist dankbar, da sind Venues aller Art in Hamburg nicht wirklich ausgebucht, somit hatte ich ein paar Alternativen. Nach einer Auftaktveranstaltung im letzten Jahr in einem Restaurant…

Hot air ballooning over the roofs of Hamburg
Hot air ballooning has been one of my dreams for a long time. I got this ride as a Christmas present and it was such a long wait since then! Finally today we got to go and we were really lucky with wind and weather. We even got to see this wonderful sunset. Just look…
