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…

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…

Chauffiert wurden wir zum ersten Mal vom Tesla Shuttle-Service –…

You pick a tent (marquee) (“Festzelt”) and start ordering your first Maß (a liter of beer), then another,…

Start the weekend right: B&B (breakfast & beer) in Düsseldorf
EW7060 from HAM to DUS Being in the area for leisure, for a change, means having delicious breakfast to start the day right. With a super healthy and oh-so delicious Açai bowl at a corner deli called Birdie & Co. in Düsseldorf Pempelfort I feel fit to enjoy the weekend to its fullest. And guess…

Frankfurt Morning Glory
This is one of the stunning views you get to see when staying at Frankfurt Marriott Hotel, a place which I will at times call my second home. Just started on a project in this town, my very first in my young career as a consultant, so I wonder if this place can become my…

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…
