Festivities Flashback

Hey guys, I know it's a little late to wish you a Merry Christmas, but I still had so many heart-warming pictures to post. Coziness at its best, I'd say!
German cities are surely beautiful around Christmas, and even though I always try to escape my home country, I still love it in December. Year after year you can indulge in the sweetest candy, hot chocolate and hot wine as far as the eye can see, people snuggling on the street and lovely Christmas music everywhere. Enjoy the photos of a typical German Christmas market and a more personal family celebration!

Welcome 2014

Whoop, whoop we got a new year! I wish you all the very best for the twelve months to come, may they be filled with lots of love, happiness and joy!
2013 has surely been a very exciting year for me - my first year back  in Germany after living in New York City for two years - I spent another two months in the Big Apple at the beginning of 2013, an entire summer in Spain and hey, I eventually moved to a new city and started studying!
I hope you all know I didn't forget about this blog, I have just been incredibly busy spreading love and joy over Christmas ;-) Photos will follow! Hope you all had a wonderfully cozy holiday with your loving family and a magnificent New Year's Eve party! Mine was a blast for sure! Lots of kisses and cheers to another exciting year! xoxo

The wicked Side of Hamburg

 
From lovely to naughty... I think that pretty much sums it up! Hamburg is a fabulous city, no doubts, a very diverse city of many different shades.
I finally had the feeling to have found a New York substitute... well, at least when it comes to trash, graffiti and sticker mania. Welcome to the Kiez, fellas!
Hamburg does not only have wonderfully lovely neighborhoods with adorned houses, ancient bridges and romantic water roads which you could see in my last Hamburg posts.
Nope, this city seems to be so much more than that... I eventually discovered the Brooklyn/Bronx equivalent of Germany's second biggest city!
Surrounded by colorful graffitis, trashy shops and crazy stickers I felt a little more home. You all know how much I adore crazy art, I'm totally into all kinds of street art so these sprayed art pieces and glowing bridges all made my heart beat a little faster. Enjoy my shots of some lovely corners in Hamburg and the notorious Kiez aka St. Pauli and its surroundings!

What, did someone say December?

Don't tell me it's too late to post fall photos...
I kinda skipped the Christmas season's start. How can it possibly be, it's already December? Did I miss something? Well, one could bring forward the argument that I spent half of November in Spain (dreamy sunny weather), but how did this year pass so quickly?
I'm sure that's how it works when your life has a, what they call, "routine"!
Since I graduated from school, I have pretty much spent my days traveling, working, traveling, going to museums and clubs, and more traveling. This year was not different. I spent half the winter and spring in New York City, until I had to go back to Germany in April only to spend the entire summer in Spain. Not a big surprise that time flies!
Since I started studying I feel like the days go by in a flash anyway. However, I refuse to admit it's winter yet so I'm posting some photos of a lovely typical German fall forest. My sister and I just had to take advantage of the last few sunrays. And once again, I went dark for winter. I kinda like switching my haircolor with the seasons.
Enjoy the pics ;-)
