“Nice. I haven’t eaten Belgian waffles for a while.” “They are not Belgian waffles. They are German waffles,” said my German lover. “What the hell does that even mean?” “German waffles are different from Belgian waffles.” “Eh? What makes them different?” “We use quark to prepare German waffles. They use milk. And German waffles […]

Is this my work and purpose as a travel blogger?
PRESS PLAY: Manu Delago feat. Isa Kurz – Disgustingly Beautiful [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/192812406″ params=”color=de007b” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /] I am imploding with stories. …and I can’t seem to write them.

VIDEO: I don’t speak German but I can if you like.
If you’ve been following my blog, you all know by now that I am getting really serious with my German language challenge in the past weeks. Learning a language is an adventure on its own and I am enjoying it overall. (Note: watch the video in HD for better quality!) It’s not easy. Nobody […]
German Challenge Week 3: German parties are weird
This third week of me learning German happened right before my big #2monthbirthdaytrip all over Asia. I was super busy preparing for the trip but I still have to wake up before 9 AM for five days a week to learn German. That’s dedication, y’all. But the truth was that some days we did […]
German Challenge Week 2: Of Cooking and Condoms
Call me the worst blogger ever. I promised to update things here about my journey (a.k.a. ongoing 5-year struggle) to German fluency with the 3-month German challenge but so far all I did was travel and – bam! – everything got out of control.

I love destination hotels. I sometimes travel every now and then just because I want to stay in a truly remarkable hotel. Hotel Villa in Honegg in Switzerland is definitely one of them.

The Christmas Gift Guide for Bon Vivants with Impeccable Taste
I’m almost tempted to title this post as “15 Cool Things You Should Already Own” because really, you must buy all of this pretty rad things for yourself. Most of the gift guides floating around the internet are either peppered with stupid, tacky things like notebooks and photo frames (shudder) or ridiculously expensive stuff […]
How to celebrate your freaking Forever 21st birthday in style
I’m sitting here in our hotel room in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines furiously typing away because I’m happy. I mean I almost always am. I have a perpetually happy disposition in life. Today is my birthday. It’s not just any birthday though. I’m entering a new decade – no, it’s not the 40’s yet! – […]

In which I talk about my first week learning German again with italki, the 10th circle of hell, why I think German is like math, how to flirt in German and my new favorite German words and vernacular expressions. Is life really too short to learn German? I disagree. Kinda. Week #1: In […]
