  • Everyone has an opinion about these lockdays. I personally have been really liking this change. It’s forced me to slow down more and focus on refining what I do on a day to day basis. Being lucky enough to work from home, I just have so many more hours. I channeled my time into food…

  • Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping well. I think I’ve revelled in all the current changes long enough and now to put finger to keyboard. I’ve been wondering now what life will look like after this pandemic is over. Whenever that will be. I know of many people who are without work or…

  • Exploring Berlin, Germany For A Few Days: What I Got Up To

    Berlin, I’m still undecided how I feel about this city. On the one hand, you have the biggest fans who all announce that Berlin has so much to offer and there are so many things to do vs the nay sayers who downright dislike Berlin. I guess you can’t spend time in Germany without checking…
