What’s the most cliché love story you can think of? Girl randomly falling in love with a millionaire? OR Girl dumping her fiancée because she fell in love with another guy OR Girl realising the friend is more than that… indeed the last one happened to me.

Culture shock – six months in Germany
When the dust settles, and the scales come off your eyes you realise the dream land Germany isn’t that dreamy at all. Expectations were high but reality verified it all…
Continue reading “Culture shock – six months in Germany”Relocation for work – part 3, and now what?
You pack, you say your farewells, you fly to the new place… and then what? Nothing! You build your whole life from scratch. You search for an apartment, go to Ikea to buy lots of things that you truly need, and you make new friends. How hard can it be right? Depends how you look at it.

The most difficult part of all relocations is leaving people. Saying your farewells has a dual face. It’s the best but also the saddest part when moving. It’s the best part because it keeps you busy, your diary is full of appointments with friends and activities but it’s also incredibly sad. Sad because you know that in a couple of weeks or days you are not gonna see your friends for a very very long time. The only time when you see them will be either on video or occasionally when you visit them or when they visit you.

Indeed Alice was indeed silent lately… Well, lots of things have been going on in the past two months. I received the info that I was successful in an interview process and got a job in Germany. Meaning reallocation! Meaning all spare time all spare time had to be invested into organising the move. Now how do you do that?

Today is the day before last of my holiday… sadly. Have to say the time went by incredibly quickly. Three months of waiting for this holiday and then it finished in a finger snap. Question is, was it worth going to a place that is not as popular among European tourists as Greece or Spain for example? Yes it was!

While doing yoga, Sarah Beth, the yoga instructor I follow on YouTube said that too often people find themselves giving and giving and giving and never ever giving to themselves. You’ve heard that term, you have to fill your cup before you can pour out to anybody else? Well, here’s that lesson to fill your cup. I would very much agree with that statement.

Once during a beer my friend Chris told me to approach relationships the same way I approach work. Asked him if he means deadlines, timely delivery and escalations? Nooo silly he replied. I mean when you hear a NO, or something doesn’t go the way you planned, find a different way. Just like in your project. Are you discouraged if you hear a NO from your stakeholders? You’re not, you find other ways to make the project work. Same with man. If it doesn’t work out with one, keep looking and don’t get discouraged.

Eventually it had to write this post as what’s a travel life blog without a personal view on airlines, right? I never calculated how many miles I flew or how many hours I spent on board of an aircraft but once I sat in the cockpit. It was the most amazing experience ever. During a stopover in Turkey when the plane was parking at the gate the nice Italian pilot let me sit in his seat and explained some of the buttons. Man… best day ever 😀

Italy is a very dangerous country. Yes, it is! The food is so great and amazingly delicious that gaining 5 kilos after a two-week stay is more than guaranteed. Hence dangerous as it might cause serious damage to the freshly trained six pack 😛 Although a visit to Italy is worth every gained kilogram. For that reason, I can’ wait for my skiing trip to Italy in December!
