Summer in the City - Hello New York!

What to say about New York City? I guess we can all agree that it is a vibrant city with a palpable energy wherever you go....you are always in a crowd, regardless whether you take the subway at 3 pm or 3 am. The city that never sleeps - this holds true in every way.
There is an immense offer of activities - free concerts in the park, dance performances in old churches, jazz sessions in small cave bars, gallery openings on thursday nights, impromptu piano performances in the streets, delicious food markets with the best french fries on the planet (trust me on this one, I tested quite a few), walks on the High Line, oyster happy hours, rooftop cocktails, but also the more classic tourist attractions like some of the world's best exhibitions and museums, typical New York eateries like Magnolia Bakery and Shake Shack, shopping on 5th Avenue and watching the sun set from the top of the Rockefeller building, which is, albeit its touristy touch, one of the highlights of the trip!
I could rant on about the innumerable fun things New York has to offer but I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves....














Enjoying Heidelberg AFTER the exams!

So after all those hectic last days of exam preparation, outfit shopping et cetera were finally over, exams were passed and the post-exam hangover was cured, there was finally some time again to just take a stroll around town, have a coffee and a Spritz and enjoy the newly-acquired freedom! I love you, Heidelberg!

Take a break - wellness week in Austria!

Just a little thank-you note to my parents who took me to this beautiful resort in the Alps to relax and restore my energies before hitting the final preparation phase for my state exams. 
Early-morning swims in the outdoor pool, wonderful healthy breakfasts, a lot of sunshine and the most beautiful and relaxing library I ever studied in ;-)
And on the very last day, I eventually got to snow flakes this year! All good! ;-)

Et une fois de nouveau: Weekend à Paris!

This one never gets old - weekend in Paris, finally a long-awaited reunion, strolls through the Marais and Montmatre, a really good photo exposition by Raymond Depardon at Grand Palais, good food and lots of fun and laughter!
Paris, je t'aime, une fois de plus!

"Herbstfarben"


Just before winter finally sets in... a few pictures of Heidelberg with its beautiful foliage.
