Back and yet always on the go again

Yes – I’m still very much alive and kicking!

After getting back from my travels end of May (geeze, Frankfurt seemed so tiny in comparison to all the cities (Beijing, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur…) I’ve visited the days before…), I used the summer time to travel around in Germany, visiting friends, family and several music festivals while slowly starting the job application process. Oh, and of course I went back to England and Scotland for a couple of weeks, hiking along some amazing paths and hitting the local pubs afterwards…

Unfortunately, in the following the weeks the amont of activities decreased due to a low tide in my bank account, causing me to be pretty much stuck in my little home town. As a result I started temping at a little guest house in one of the villages around here, serving food and beer to local music clubs and old men who, with every beer served, tried to chat me up with some stupid lines…. Grrrr. Well, all I did was to smile artificially and ignore them as good as possible. Who’d have guessed that I’d suffer a culture shock in a little village just a few kilometers away from my place of birth? I might have as well skipped the little India trip thing… Haha.

Anyway, that’s all past and gone now, as I’m going to move to Bremen, northern Germany, in the next few weeks where I’ll start my PhD in coastal management. It’s really the perfect job for me, not only because of the topic, but also as it is involves one year in New Zealand…! Now that’s something, isn’t it? I’m sure I’ll find some time besides work to explore this amazing country, so you may look forward to new travel stories soon!
