Many of us Germans like to travel. When travelling outside of our own country, we go for holidays to Italy, to France, to Spain, to Croatia and, before the pandemic, to more and more overseas countries. The countries mentioned above attract both, people looking for relaxing beaches as well as people looking for cultural highlights.… Weiterlesen Southern Poland

Top of Germany
„Why climb the highest mountain?”, US president John F. Kennedy asked on September 12th 1962 in Houston, Texas, in order to motivate his listeners to support the Apollo program, which eventually resulted in the moon landing. He answered the questions just a few sentences later: “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade… Weiterlesen Top of Germany
Why We Travel
Something, which did not work at all as assumed. A jetlag, which keeps awake all night. A meal, which made horribly sick. I doubt that there is any frequent traveler, who did not encounter one of those or another challenge whilst travelling. Most certainly, such challenges occur on a somewhat regular basis. Undoubtedly, travelling can… Weiterlesen Why We Travel
Inside Iran: An interview with a tour guide
Of all of my trips around the globe, the one to Iran probably impressed me most. Iran has been producing bad or at least questionable headlines for years. But back in 2016, I wondered if a country with a population of more than 80 million and with a history of a few thousand years, can… Weiterlesen Inside Iran: An interview with a tour guide
2020
On 29th December 2019, I woke up early in order to catch a flight to Hong Kong via Zurich. There, I wanted to stay with friends. It was supposed to be the last reunion in Hong Kong as they planned to move away soon after. My alarm went off in the early morning hours and… Weiterlesen 2020

Une grande tournée du nord de la France
3.000 kilometer – that is the distance I walked between January 1st and August 15th 2020. The vast majority of this distance came from walks and hikes close to where I live. Despite the pandemic, this year has been a fantastic one for me. I really enjoyed lots of spare time and, looking back, I… Weiterlesen Une grande tournée du nord de la France
A perfect combination
My interests in terms of travelling are versatile: I like city trips, fancy restaurants, museums and live performances by artists and orchestras as much as I like to be surrounded by nature, enjoying nice views and listening to nothing else than the sound of nature. Yet, this perfect combination is quite difficult to achieve, especially… Weiterlesen A perfect combination
Lakes, peaks & Kaiserschmarrn
Covid-19 continues to dominate the world and yet many things changed in the last couple of weeks. While my spring was widely shaped by an office closure resulting in a lot of freedom which I used for uncountable hikes, the following early summer has been characterized by extremely busy (home) office days. Fortunately, not only… Weiterlesen Lakes, peaks & Kaiserschmarrn
Live Love Lebanon
Getting to work in a very international team was probably one of the greatest coincidences in my life so far. Towards the end of 2010, I started to work in my first full-time role and I was lucky, professionally as well as personally, to get to work with people who considered their colleagues not only… Weiterlesen Live Love Lebanon
