Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited about what could go right. Who are you? Are you someone who listens to their brain and decides rationally, or someone who is controlled by your heart and makes decisions based on emotions and gut feelings? I’m someone who goes with my gut….
We should learn to take pictures for ourselves again
Do you travel because you’re curious, want to explore other places, enjoy a break from work or uni, feel inspired or broaden your horizon? Or do you travel to take photos? Something is totally wrong here. There are people who even choose their travel destinations based on the question if they offer any “instagram-worthy places”….
Day trips from Kyoto & Tokyo: Himeji & Nikko (part 5)
26th February, Himeji. Japan’s largest and one of the most impressive and beautiful castles, also called the White Heron because of its elegance and white colour, is the Himeji Castle. It is not only a national treasure, but also a world heritage site. Visiting this castle really did feel surreal at times. We stepped out…
Follow trains & why we need to be more genuine online
Isn’t the purpose of follow trains to engage more, find inspiration and meet new bloggers? I’m kind of breaking up a pattern here. I have almost finished writing my post about my last days in Japan, but I felt the urge to write down my thoughts on this topic as unfortunately, Twitter isn’t convenient for…
Japan: The floating torii gate and Hiroshima (part 4)

Nara: Japan’s first capital city (part 3)
February 24th, Nara. If you ever go to Japan, make sure you visit Nara. It was the best and most fun and surreal out of all the day trips we did. Although it’s a popular tourist destination, it is a very calm and peaceful place and simply perfect to wander around and spend a relaxing day. When…
Japan: 6 days in Kyoto (part 2)
“I loved the quiet places in Kyoto, the places that held the world within a windless moment. Inside the temples, Nature held her breath. All longing was put to sleep in the stillness, and all was distilled into a clean simplicity.” – Pico Iyer February 21st, Kyoto. We were sad to leave Tokyo, but travelled on…
Japan: 5 days in Tokyo (part I)
I’ve never missed a place I have travelled to so much before. Japan, you won me over in no time. Ich habe noch nie einen Ort, an den ich gereist bin, so sehr vermisst. Japan, du hast mich im Handumdrehen für dich gewonnen. The last few weeks leading up to our Japan trip and…

Why I love where I’m from
Am I alone in saying that in my teenage years I was obsessed and utterly in love with any other city than my own? In my case this city was London. I suppose it was more or less because I’ve always loved the English language, specifically British English, to the extent that I now study…
