Schmalkalden Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market)
Schmalkalden, Germany—ever heard of it? Probably not. Honestly I don’t even know how to pronounce it. I was visiting this central German town (seriously, look at a map—it’s dead center) on part of a chocolate & candy tour through Germany. Schmalkalden is in a kind of random part of Germany but the small town (population is around 20,000) has an incredibly scenic downtown. Old buildings and the whole town surrounded by forested mountains on all sides. Picturesque to say the least! Read the rest of this entry »

Models at the Rock Fashion Night evvent in Berlin, 2012
This past Friday night I went to the Rock Fashion Night, one of the events from Berlin’s Fashion Week. Basically it was a bunch of hipsters and sexy indie folks glammed up watching relatively attractive models who sported tattoos and odd facial expressions as they walked down a catwalk during two rock band’s performances. Oh yeah, and at one point they climbed a ladder and just kind of stared into space. Fun? Genau. (translation: helll yeah)
The Rock Fashion Night party was open to the public, like a lot of the Berlin Fashion Week events, though I’m not entirely certain this event was technically even part of Fashion Week. But like everything else in Berlin, who cares? The people were unpretentious though everyone looked like they’d tried to especially pull of the “rocker chic” look. I myself decked out in my most amazing clothes—an assortment of articles all from this little-known designer no one has probably heard of Hennes & Mauritz. But seriously, the folks inside and in the crowd were friendly AND fun. Slightly different from the last time I went to a guest-list/VIP/concert/social event in Berlin (David Guetta at Spindler & Klatt). Read the rest of this entry »

My Instagram photos from the past month or so
Sorry for the delay in writing. If you were actually reading, that is. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind and there are a lot of things to share and write about. But sometimes my motivation escapes me. Please pardon the blog-ese (blog-speak?) but here are a few tidbits of my recent life from Berlin:

For lack of creativity, time and battery power, I’m not really sure how to word this feeling I’ve got. But, as the title suggests, it feels like I’m slowly remembering what it feels like to travel. I suppose I’d forgotten it since I’d been living in Berlin for so long.
I’m writing this very quickly—from my hotel in Amman, Jordan. As you’ve probably gathered from reading my blog, I still don’t know what the hell I want out of life, where I want to be (physically, emotionally, career-ly), what I want to do, and so on and so on. But whatever. I’m just living life. However, I have to admit that after stepping off the plane here in Amman, I started to think a bit more about what I want. Read the rest of this entry »
