  • Live music in the pedestrian mall in Hamburg

    Julia

    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

    Julia

    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

    Julia

    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…?

  • Enjoying life in Miami Beach

    Julia

    What a relaxed stay! Thanks to a dear friend of mine I had the chance to go to Miami a bit earlier than necessary and enjoy the weekend previous to the conference I attended to the fullest. I love the work arrangement and the flexible hours. It’s great to escape the beginning winter weather in…

  • New Orleans flair in Miami

    Julia

    One of the coolest hidden gems in Miami is probably the New Orleans-style restaurant and bar „Lagniappe“. From the outside you wouldn’t expect such a beautiful, yet shabby place. There’s live music every night from 9:00 pm and we got there just in time to listen to it. Although the band plays inside by the…
