How did I ended up here?

I really don’t know how to start this series, I have the feeling there is so much I need to explain first. So perhaps that’s how it starts. My story how I ended up being 33, still in university and now doing an exchange semester, which has the reputation of partying all the time. Believe me, I feel my age.

Back on start

Since it is my goal to leave Germany again, the last weeks were a lot about making this happen. And it seems that I found a way and will be able to go back to Bologna. How I did so? Follow me into the rabbit hole…

Jerusalem and Tel Aviv II

During my first stay in Israel I met that two Swiss students and since we all wanted to go to Jerusalem, we decided to go together. Thanks to that I saw much more of the city than I would have strolling through the city alone.

Tel Aviv I

It was a cold day in February when I saw a commercial for traveling to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and maybe the wine was speaking, when I decided to find out, how expensive flights are. Surprisingly not that much as I expected and some days later I booked my first travel to Israel…

Studying in Bologna

Last week I wrote about the University in Bologna in general, what impressed me most, what confused me and what I liked about studying there. This time I will share some more details about my courses in that amazing university.

UNIBO, my love

Last week I ended the exams of my courses at the Università di Bologna. Time to do a recap and tell you about my exchange university, my courses, my professors, the other students… and the experience of learning during a catastrophe.

Sustainable traveling

Lately I am thinking a lot about how I or anyone can travel responsible and sustainable. Not only during a pandemic, even that is on my mind a lot, too, but in general. Today I want to share some thoughts with you about that topic.

Terror and other trouble

Okay, this sounds adventurous, right? Yes, even I was lucky and not in danger, it actually was quite exciting. In spring 2017 there were some terror attacks in Great Britain and we had also some trouble going on in the Hostel I stayed.

Back in London!

I was in London three times so far. 2009 alone and often lost in the streets, 2013 with my boyfriend of that time, which was a totally different experience itself, and in 2017, one of my darkest years emotionally. Traveling with partner can be a nice thing, but in retrospect, these travels were never so interesting or influenced me as much as my solo-travels, so I’ll skip that trip (most of the time we’re enjoyed me being a employee of a huge entertainment corporation, which allowed us to go into the attractions for free, so really nothing interesting happened then). Let’s jump directly into 2017!

Writing during ‘rona times

Soon after I started this blog the first restrictions because of COVID-19 became effective in Emilia-Romagna, the Italian region where I was staying. Since we all hoped it will get better soon I kept on writing for this blog. But since the situation got more serious and the virus has a much bigger impact on everyones life for a still indefinite time I thought about what to do with this blog for a while now. Today I want to share my thoughts and plans with you, before I publish a new travel story on the weekend.

It’s not always sunny while traveling alone

Last week I told you about my first London trip. Can’t remember why but I went from London directly to Marseille and spent there some more days. It rained a lot, but I also had some situations there, which actually felt dangerous. If you’re only interested in positive stories you should skip that post. But if you’re curious what happened and what I learnt from that, keep reading.
