Are you feeling tired of the busy city life, the permanent traffic noise and the bunch of people around you while walking down the streets? Seems like it’s time for you to spend a day on the remote island Hiddensee in the northeast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This isle is not like any other in the […]
It can be pretty hard for parents to keep their children amused every single day during vacation. They get bored in a split second and want to do something new and fun. If you as a parent can’t manage to organise a new activity as soon as you can, the whole day that should have […]
Even though the weather is awfully changeable at the moment, the summer is right around the corner. And summer means enjoying the sun, having the most delicious and adventurous sorts of ice cream and above all going to the beach. But not for me! I’m one of those weird persons who prefer winter over summer […]
When I first came to this town, I was amazed by all the beautiful and colourful hanseatic buildings in and around the downtown area. I loved discovering any tiny bit of the city I hadn’t discovered before. But after a while of working and studying here, I lost that interest among the everyday hassle. I […]
What’s something that comes to mind when you think of fun you’ve had as a kid? Okay, besides puzzles, GameBoys and watching TV. The most fun kids can have while OUTSIDE, at least in my experience: going sledding. The rush of going down a snowy hill and running around with your friends is one […]
Has your dream always been to turn into a detective? Well, in this case I have great news: it’s possible in Rostock! Everyone is in the know of Peter-Weiss-Haus (PWH) near Doberaner Platz. You might not only have come across the name while looking for a place to go out on a Friday night, but […]
If you visit the relatively small town of Güstrow near the A19 motorway during autumn, you might just get there in time for their annual Rubber Duck Race. 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, […]
…flock together. I guess that’s why Manni and I, once again (a few weeks after our trip to Karl’s), found ourselves on another outing. This time the journey went to the “Vogelpark Marlow“ (bird park). Unlike last time, we had planned ahead, though; we had planned how to get there, packed some snacks and drinks, […]
(K)nope, not talking about these guys! Unfortunately, Leslie and her gang have not made it to Rostock, yet. But, Rostock’s own Parks Department does the job just as well — if not even better. Looking at Rostock from above, you will not only see a lot of green in-between buildings and blocks, but also many […]
Oh man! It’s raining again! The weather service doesn’t seem to be that honest with their forecasts. Nevermind. The fact is: the whole plan i set up for this evening with my friends will be drowned. Sigh. I don’t like to sit in a flat again and do nothing only because the weather sucks. […]
It was a beautiful Saturday in May; the sun was shining high in the sky; the birds were singing in the trees; children were playing outside, laughing happily… And what was I doing? Sitting inside, inside at my desk, inside brooding over some tasks for university. My gaze kept wandering to the window and the […]
Have you tried the ‘Schwanenteich’ (Swanpond) for a picnic? If not, you should — or try another alternative instead. Here is a new suggestion for you: What about a comfy picnic on the sandy beach in Warnemünde? Of course there are many, many different options concerning where you can have a picnic at that famous beach. You could choose one of the white benches at […]
