Sledding In The Middle Of Summer – Completely Without Snow (Or Sleds)

Hundreds of tiny yellow rubber ducks are taken from their natural habitat of the homely bathtub, dumped into a river running through Güstrow’s park by the castle, […]

Sitting inside, inside at my desk, inside brooding over some tasks for university. My gaze kept wandering to the window and the […]
An alternative taste – The lack of meat doesn’t mean to be a lack of flavour
Probably everyone has its opinion about vegan. They don’t eat meat, only vegetables. They don’t drink any milk from a cow only soy. And so on and so on. If you think their nutrition doesn’t sound very varied, then you are pretty wrong. Have you ever tried some vegan food ? Have you ever thought about […]
