With the sunny days here in Berlin (and summer increasingly on my mind), I thought I’d share one of my favorite places to be during summertime. Summertime at Circular Quay, Sydney Sydney’s Circular Quay (pronounced “key”) was one of my favorite spots while I was studying at Sydney University for a term in 2006. The …
Sometimes souvenirs don’t have to be local My friend Allison bought this Swatch watch when we visited Prague together a few years ago. It’s an old photo favorite of mine—bright colors and a beautiful smile in the background. One of the reasons I haven’t really enjoyed Prague on each visit has been all the touristic …
Whether it’s the crappy weather or just my sorry mood, inspiration has been lacking in my life since the new year. So to fight it off, I spent this past weekend trying to improve my mood. First with the first plane ticket purchase I’ve made in MONTHS (hellllooo Norway in March!) and second with a …

It was the Berlinale / Berlin International Film Festival here for the past 10 days, and thanks to some friends who sorted out my tickets, I managed to see four different films.

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 …
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 …
It’s the end beginning of the year and my inspiration (something I was looking for a few months ago) has come and gone. So, for a little recap of my travels, enjoy this travel meme: The ABCs of travel. (Thank you to Cheryl and Nicole for tagging me) Age you went on your first international …
