Chapter 2 – My Rave Renaissance Right off the bat, the headline is a bit misleading. I do not in fact, nor did I ever, consider myself a raver. The alliteration just sounded too good to not use in a headline. Nevertheless, there still is some truth in the phrase, as my party going […]
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 […]

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 […]
Okay, let’s say you want to become more active (don’t we all?) And let’s say you don’t want to do the ordinary stuff like jogging or cycling. Here’s another way: Go climbing!

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 […]
Can you feel the summer coming? We definitely can. It’s time to get out of your stuffy rooms and your worn out winter clothes to enjoy the first warm rays of sunlight. One attractive possibility to do so is to have a picnic at the ‘Schwanenteich’ (Swanpond) in ‘Reutershagen’. It’s a pond surrounded by […]
