Travellers' Wisdom
25 juin 2016, Espagne ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
I like to present a nice collection of things I have heared on my travels so far.
I hope you enjoy as much as I did 😉

"Don't drink tapwater in Europe! They add chloroform - it will kill you!" - a girl from Turkey

"Germany is not a production country. Therefore you can't learn things about logistics and production processes in german universities. To learn this, you have to go abroad!" - a guy from Germany

"A minium wage of 8,50€ is too less. Just think of the people who only work 1 hour per week - how can they survive?" - a guy from Brasil

"In Europe it is not possible to make savings, because you earn little and living costs are too high! The europeans spend all their money for living." - a girl from Brasil

"I don't order desserts in Restaurants. I have the feeling they are no experts in this field." - a girl from Germany

"Oh wow - this movie shows 2nd world war. That means...America fought against whom?" - a girl from Austria (stated proudly that she just passed her A-Levels in Austria)

"I think, germans hate to smile! They are in a bad mood always. Btw - where are you from?" A grumpy girl from China

"It's awesome - you don't tip in Europe! They just don't want the extra money." - a girl from USA

"Which kind of blood the Sangria is made of? The pigs or the cows?" - a guy from USA (Remark: "Sangre" means "blood" in spanish...actually it should be obvious, that the name "Sangria" describes the drinks colour,not its ingredients)En savoir plus

Malaga
28 juin 2016, Espagne ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
* Biking 🚲
* Bad Hostel ☔
* Last station in Spain ✈

"If you don't have to tell something nice, better tell nothing at all" - for me this saying fits perfect to Malaga ;-) This place is a big City with a lot of waste at the beach and no flair. Even the ocean is not very enjoyable. Beside a nice and long bikeride along the beaches it has nothing to offer for me.
The hostel is sooo bad - the worst thing I have seen so far - so bad, that it is almost funny (in this special sense of gallows humor 😉). It starts with disgusting bathrooms (I will save you from the details), "Godzilla" my bankbonker who mess up the whole room with her cloth, clean and dirty, with dirty cups and glasses, empty bottles of wine - everything mixed together and well spread over the 8-bed-dorm. And at night she is making sounds as if she was fighting against whole Tokyo^^ And on top come a lot of weirdos - good package tho 😂

But anyways - after 49 days in Spain I will finish the first chapter ofmy travels. It does not feel like 7 weeks away at all, but on the other side I feel like years away from certain things I have left behind, which is veeeeeery good 😊
I've learned a LOT during the last weeks, I retrieved some things which I was afraid of being lost, I met wonderful and inspiring people and I did some aweeeeeesome experiences.
Being so, so happy that I took this step in my life I close this chapter now, fly home to Germany for almost two weeks and prepare myself for the next travels 😊🌺En savoir plus

In the next 2 weeks I will spend time with my family and friends, get some administrative things done (well, it's Germany 😆), enjoy the Möhnesee and Soests surrounding and plan my upcoming stations roughly.

Spend two wonderfull weeks at home filled with quality time with friends and family.
Unfortunately I couldn't manage to meet everybody I wanted, so we save that for my return mates 😊

I enjoyed my beloved Möhnesee (luckily the german weather god gifted some days of sun in between rain and storms...), the Blumenthaler Haar and Soest and even had a visitor from Leipzig 💙

Now I am pretty excited about the second part of my travels. A bunch of awesome things are ahead of me and I am full of hope and trust that it will be the adventure of a lifetime!

Next stop: Boston

What is the best way to be welcomed at the airport? Right! With a selfmade sign.
When I was enjoying the bumpy flight to Boston I was thinking of this for a moment. When we stepped out of the airport I got so surprised when I saw my relatives with this cute sign 😊 It totally made my day!

We spent a great time together with my family (day trip to the coast and to Boston, pizza party for Hildegards Birthday....). I was very excited, cause most of them I met for the first time (talking about grand-grand-grand-uncles and aunts and their children with families). All of them are so nice and lovely and I am very happy to know them finally🌺En savoir plus

* Planetarium ✨
* Monuments, Monuments, Monuments ⛲
* Prayers for me....😆

Have you ever been to a Planetarium? If not, you should go there. It is so cool! We watched "The dark universe" in the Air&Space museum and it was beautiful🌟 I was asking myself why I didn't pay more attention to sciences in school....well, but then I remembered 😂

What else happened at the Air&Space....When I was 6 years old I wanted to become an astronaut. My dream was to be the first woman on Mars (....I knew there had been people on the moon before and obviously I was aiming for pioneer work^^)..."somehow" it didn't worked out, so I remained on earth....BUT at least, a bunch of years later, I could touch a piece of a moon rock here in DC 👍🌖
Okay, okay....yes it was from the Moon, not from Mars....and yes, it was displayed in a museum and there was no need to go to space....but hey - reality gets us all 😂

Beside that we watched a dancing event of native Americans as well as a stunning exhibition of nature's photography. The cool thing is that all museums (at least in DC) are for free and very detailed and interesting. Another goodie is, that they have AirCon, which is pretty nice at 35 degrees outside.
If you are looking for some goosebump, check this out: http://www.naturesbestphotography.com

Ofcourse Washington has much more to offer - from Washington Monnument to the Lincoln one is a nice park with much to see. I didn't expect the city to be so green.

The prayer story:
On my first day a storm was coming up. As I was still missing my first summer storm this year, I settled down in the park to watch and enjoy. Suddenly two girls came along and started a nice conversation with me. After a few minutes they talked about Jesus and asked if they could pray for me. You can imagine how iritated I was - this never happend to me before 😂En savoir plus

* Top of the Rock 🌟
* Central Park ⛲
* Everything else 💚

New York is simply awesome!

There are 1.000 things to do and I think we did a good job during our 4 days stay:
Starting from a circle line Cruiser along the Statue of Liberty a.o., a visit of the Broadway, the Central Park, Wallstreet, a visit of MoMa to Top of the Rock and many more.

Some Highlights:
On mums birthday we got up to Top of the Rock two times // Sun and Stars // and it was great seeing the city in a 360¤ view at day time and by night when all the lights where shining. It was definetly worth time and money.

My "highlight" in the MoMa (museum of modern art) was a pile of straws in front of a cardboard box. No, I am NOT kidding. Next to it there was a Barbie-doll, sitting in a wheelchair and starring at a picture of an drained pool! I am still not kidding. I have no clue what the "artist" wanted to tell me....but I was thinking for a moment how rich and famous I could be by now, if my parents hadn't trashed all my "childhood-art" 😂

To sum it up: great family-holiday-stop 😊En savoir plus

🌺
After our roundtrip we were welcomend by Hildegard and Wolfgang again. We spend two more beautiful days with them - cooking, shopping, chatting.
"It felt like coming home" brings it to the point.
Many thanks to them and their family for all the great time, memories and of course a special "thank you" to Martina und Michelle for the airport pick ups!

🗽
My parents also left today. We had 2 wonderful weeks and it was really nice to have another family vacation trip after all those years.

🎉
Right now I am waiting at the airport for my plane to Detroit! I'm really excited to explore another part of the US and to meet Carolyn again. WhooohoooooEn savoir plus

* Birthday Celebrations 🎂 (Who the hell is Bob?)
* GO Tigers ⚾

Hello from Detroit!
I am having a total fun time over here. Carolyn and her daughter Brooke are hilarious.
Togehther with Laura and Pragya we had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and I had a raspberry-lemon-cheesecake-birthday-dream 💚 so yummie!

Yesterday we went to Eastern Market, a semi-open air market with local veggies, awesome Capuccino and Pizza 🍕did a River walk (with a nice view on Canada, which was only at the other shore), entered the Roofbar of the GM building (72. Floor) and joined a Tigers Baseball Game afterwards. I was so excited and it was awesome. There were not only the game going on, but also lotteries, races of people who were dressed as foam-cars (siriously), dance-battles, Group karaoke (Bon Jovi 👍) and so on and so on. It felt like the biggest children birthday party ever!

Beside that we visited the Henry Ford museum where I found my 4-wheeler-dream 🚃, the Detroit Institut of Arts which was really cool. Drawings, furniture and sculptures from almost every century and culture.

In between I am planning the Canada Roadtrip Adventure, which will start in a week 😁En savoir plus
