Sitting by the water. A cold morning dip.Nothing but the wind.The pier floats softly.Here is where I need to be. At the first good sight of the sea,We naturally slow down our steps.Or is it just me?It’s here, by the water.It has always been here. Is evolution telling us?„Come back to me.Come back to where …

Part 1 -Before Okay, the cheese is cut. What else? I sit down, open the fridge door, and take jar after jar out. Are these all the supplies that I’ve got for today’s picnic? Yesterday, I went for some last minute shopping with Dominik to get some good, solid, organic components. The lamb sausages and …

Folk music is blasting from the Bluetooth speakers. We stomp our feet on the ground while the manual mincer grinds and shrieks away. One of us is turning the handle to a constant rhythm, one is refilling meat into the top. One is cheering us on and humming to the tunes. When I asked Astrid …

I thought long what our stay in the second Airbnb “Batman” should be about. Today on a slow Sunday, watching people by the river and after an energizing day on a farm, I read Charles Eisenstein’s Story of Interbeing. I guess that’s what Batman was all about. Feeling the connection between us and the place. …

Almost exactly 3 years ago I arrived in Berlin after almost 9 months of traveling. Being loaded with new experiences about places, people, and myself. I came back not because I felt ready or done with traveling. I originally thought I wouldn’t come back to Germany for a while. I felt overloaded and still searching …
I remember, while growing up, my grandma was around almost all the time, taking care of everything, especially after my granddad had passed away too early. She prepared lunch for my dad and my uncle 5 times a week, every week for over 30 years. When we ran up the stairs and passed her front …
„You didn’t see them? Oh, we saw them! Three times. They showed up after 00:30 every night.“ Milla shows us a picture on her phone. Green lights in the night sky. We are wrapped in warm, floaty, puffed suits on the little boat, enjoying a bumpy-in-a-good-way ride and a fun conversation with the newly weds …

“We are now in the Arctic circle,” I write my mum. She sends me an emoji filled text message back. “💖 Congratulations 🌟🎉🎊🎈🔔🎶🐧 Probably you will stay the only ones in the family 😄.” We keep heading north, two days of just driving with no fjords but gas station burgers. We stop for the Marmorslottet …
I yawn, stretch my arms over my head and my back makes a little ‘everything gets back into place’ sound. I turn around to get my beanie out of the car. It is 7 am and maybe 5 degrees Celsius. It is my time to make coffee in the back of the van. Last year …
