As the title suggests, this blog is about where to eat out as a vegan in Rostock. Cooking can be great, it can be a lot of fun and a nice social activity. But if you are on holiday, you maybe feel like treating yourself and therefore choose to eat out. Or maybe your are […]

Being Vegan in Rostock
Eating meat, eggs and dairy is pretty much still seen as eating a “normal“ diet in Germany. Most shops also sell these products, so you actually don’t really need to worry were to shop, at least in terms of availability. Being vegan or being on a plant-based diet, however, can be a bit more difficult. […]
Rostock Libraries Part 1: Stadtbibliothek (City Library) + Get free comics!
This blog entry will focus only on the Stadtbibliothek. A second part about the university library, and possibly more book and library-related musings will follow at some point. I realise that this might be a niche topic on a blog targeted, at least according to its name, at backpackers, i.e. tourists. But then again, it […]
Heart over Head – About falling in love with a strange sport
(Yes, pun intended.) It was late August 2017 when I first got introduced to something that should be turning out to become a new passion of mine. Some friends and I were playing table tennis at Gerberbruch when the table next to us was occupied by some other guys. They quickly drew our attention when […]
German Social Conventions I do not take a Part in But Which I Get
German Social Norms pt. 2 There are a lot of things Germans have their special views of. Whether that’s lifestyle, drinks, food .. the list goes on. Sadly, some stereotypical opinions of us actually pretty much hit the heart. One that might be quite familiar is: the beer. Don’t mess with our beer. Seriously, somehow […]
Fröhlich Frozen Yogurt – Refreshing Sin
You’re probably an addict. You’re on sugar. Don’t worry – me too! Sugar fuels every cell in your brain, sugar is a reward to your brain, sugar is addictive. It is tough to break your habits, especially when it comes to the consumption of this sweet motherf*cker. You know that feeling when you get a […]
Green Places In Rostock I Don’t Hate
Places I don’t hte pt. 3 Rostock is not my hometown. I grew up in a tiny village, framed by forests and fields and meadows. That is why I miss the freedom and the green probably more than other people who have grown up in a city. If you’ve grown up in a small village […]
German Social Norms I Neither Get Nor Particularly Like
German Social Norms I Neither Get Nor Particularly Like If you’re in Germany in the summer, you won’t get around to seeing at least a few Germans barbecue outside. As soon as barbecue season starts, Germans tend to get crazy, there are portable barbecues in almost every supermarket, with sausages, pork, chicken and other meat […]
Glashagen – Back To Nature
Since the internet is swamped with people, who needs to show how happy they are all the time, and how down to earth they are (while taking a sip from their over-priced-Starbucks-coffee-to-go-cup), finding peace in nature and meditations, I thought, there must be people who will love it in Glashagen. Glashagen is not far from […]
Rostocker Artnight in the Old Town
On May, 25th the Rostocker Artnight took place in the Old Town (by klicking on the link you find recent acitvities and events in the Old Town) where you could walk along the small cobblestoned streets and also into the Nikolai-and Petrichurch to look at new and old art from various local artists. The blue […]
Why You Should Walk Along the Beach Naked at least Once in Rostock
If you read this title, some of you will think: “Naked on the beach?! That’s outrageous. Forbidden! Report this post now! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” Wait a minute, my little embarrassed keyboard warrior. Cause you’re right. In almost all areas of Germany walking around naked is forbidden and can be punished with high fines. Yet, some Germans are […]
places in the heart of the city I don’t hate
places I don’t hate pt 2 I know in my last post I was talking about how amazing getaways are, and I do admit myself, the next one doesn’t seem to be one. But then again this is my personal list and you can disagree freely. Or you can just try it and then […]
