Berlin – Black and White

Hola everyone.

So I know, this is usually the moment I do my little update about my life in Berlin, but actually there is nothing much to say.

.
Basically I’m just adjusting to the city and the life here, getting used to it, doing stuff, seeing things and enjoying it as much as I can. And a part of that is walking around with my camera. Unfortunately winter is coming which means the sun is already saying goodbye when I’m just getting out of bed on weekends. So yeah, pretty stupid. And yes, I really sleep that long and yes, I love it.

.
But I thought, how could I take nice pics without bothering what time it is. And then I remembered how fascinating black and white pics are and I just made a whole project out of it – my view of Berlin at night in black and white (that rhymed).

So, down there you can find all of my fave pics I took – of course there are more – and I really really hope you like them as much as I do. I had a lot of fun taking them.

.
And as usual, if any of you want to talk, I’m here. And until then I hope you enjoyed this post and my pics and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Growing Up

Hola everyone.

So today I want to talk about something I am now confrontef with every single day. And I will for the next two months and later on for the rest of my life. Today I want to talk about how I feel about having to grow up and being an actual grown up.

.
Now that I’m living alone in Berlin, with no actual grown up members of my family that even live in the same country, I am completely depended on myself. And holy moly, I can tell you, I never imagined that it could be this tough. As far as I remember, until now, I always had my parents around who would do all the grown up stuff for me. And of course that made life a lot easier. And now that I am in Berlin on my own, I have to do all of this stuff myself, which brings me to the point that I noticed how much the current situation taught me about life as a grown up:

Go for a walk once in a while, even if you’re alone
Telecom companies are straight from hell
Google is your best friend
Cooking for yourself all the time takes longer than you think
While being alone, you really get to know a lot about yourself
Doing things on your own like going to the cinema isn’t weird, but actually is normal
Life without your own washing machine makes everything a lot more complicated
The same without a dishwasher and a microwave
Late night shops are the best thing ever
YouTube, a good movie or tv show can save the day,
If you don’t like your current situation, change something about it
You’re never too old to need your parents
You can do whatever you want, just be happy
Animals and plants make everything so much better
WhatsApp is a gift from heaven
I still sometimes feel like I’m 12 and that’s okay (actually, it’s awesome)
Book stores are the perfect place to take a break from the world
Love life

So yeah, this is how I feel about living the life of a grown up here in Berlin. And maybe you feel the same. Anyway, I am still pretty happy that I can get back to being a child without this huge pack of responsibilities when I get back home in February. I don’t really feel ready for being and doing this here for the rest of my life, I still need some off-let’s be a child -time.

.
I am pretty sure that most of you know pretty well what I am talking about, so whenever you want to talk, I am here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post, and as always, thanks for reading. x

Berlin update #2

Hola everyone.

As you probably all know – or some of you – I’m currently living in the beautiful city named Berlin. And I thought I’d give you a little update on how life is going and has changed since the last update.

.
So, it has been two weeks of living here and I have to say, compared to a week ago, life here has really changed, but in a very good way, thank god. First of all, I think I finally got more used to being here. I mean, I still can’t realize that I am in Berlin, but hey, at least I am now comfortable in the city.

.
Also, the reason I’m better is probably because of the Panic! concert. It really brought me a lot of happiness and inspiration, enough to be as happy as I can for the whole week and maybe even the next one too. And of course I got to know the city more. Google is my best friend at the moment. I strolled through the city all week, looking where all my favorite shopd are, where my washing salon is located, how I can get from A to B and so on. And that really helped.

.
Oh and on the last part, my friend Lisa and her boyfriend visited me for four days and that just made everything so much better. I was so happy to see them, talk to them, go out and habe dinnee together and so on. It felt really good to actually see someone from home again. Those days were really amazing. Oh and speaking from home, I’m planning on flying home at the beginning of december and that is making me so freaking happy. I’m already looking forward to doing nothing but cuddle with my two babies and see my family again.

.
Besides that, I’m really glad that I have internet here, the aspect that I’m talking to my friends and family every single day from day to night makes me feel less alone and just really happy. Oh and me and mum are calling eachother every single day, that’s our strict rule and we stick to that.

.
So yeah, that’s my life currently here. So far, every single day here has been an adventure and something new for me. Which is really exciting. Overall, I can say that I’m happy that I decided to do this, although I miss home like crazy. But that’s the price I have to pay.

.
If any of you want to talk to me about my life here, don’t hestitate to hit me up. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Berlin Update #1

Hola everyone.

Sooo, I basically just wanted to update you guys on how I’m doing in Berlin. It’s been five days so far and I can already say that I have made a lot of experiences.

.
First of all I have to say that I really really REALLY love Berlin. It’s a really cool, really modern and chill city and I feel honored to live here for those three months. And I love the apartment I get to stay in for the three months, really. And with my good decoration skills I already turned this flat into a home – my home.

.
Apart from my happiness of being here, I’m also sad about being away from home. It’s the first time I won’t be home on a weekend or will see my parents next week. And that is quite scary. And heartbreakingly sad of course. I had to say goodbye to my parents yesterday, which was really hard. And I mean, of course I miss them. Everyone. More than anyone can imagine. But I’m extremely happy that they stayed here in Berlin for this long, so the actual moving and adjusting to the new city thing was a lot less complicated and scary for me. And I could still spend some time with them, which was even more awesome.

.
So, I’m slowly getting used to being here and on my own. But I still haven’t been able to realize it all, so yeah, I’ll just wait for that to sink in.

.
The good thing is that my friends will be visiting me here in Berlin, so I won’t be alone as much as I thought. And apart from that I have wifi and everything here so I can call and text my family and friends whenever I want and that makes everything a lot easier for me. And being here really shows me how much I love being at home, the place I belong to, spending time with the people and pets who I love the most. But it also shows that I am able to go on such a big adventure on my own and be drawn away from everything I know.

Overall, being here in Berlin has already tought me a lot about myself and what I want to do in the future and how. And although I’m away from home, I can’t describe how happy I am that I seriously get to do all of this, it’s soooo damn crazy, for real. A dream come true. So I’m hoping that it will get better and better and better and once be a part of my life I’ll look back to with a smile on my face.

And that’s all I can tell you guys. So, as you can see, I’m doing quite well here in Berlin. Oh and I’m sorry for not posting anything on Friday, I just had a packed week and didn’t get the chance to write. I’m really sorry. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post and if any of you want to chat, I’m here. And until then, as always, thanks for reading. x

Hello Berlin

Hola everyone.

It’s happening guys. It’s really happening. And I can’t believe it. I’m seriously moving to Berlin for three months. Holy moly.

.
I’m seriously having real troubles realizing that this is really happening. I mean, I know some of you guys already know about this if you’ve been following my blog. But I talked about wayyyyy long time ago. And now I’m boarding a plane in 13 hours. It’s currently half past 1 am and I’m sitting on the couch watching YouTube videos and trying to understand all of this crazy stuff.

.
To be honest, I have both good and bad feelings about this. But I guess that’s normal, I bet on it. I mean, there aren’t a lot of things I’ve ever been this excited for. And this is such a big dream of mine and it’s coming true, which is more than crazy. I’ve been dreaming about and hoping that I could once get the chance to move to a cool city for some time. And I always knew that I wanted to do this. I always wanted to go on such a huge adventure. And now it’s happening. Which makes me so happy that I can’t even describe it. I’m so damn excited.

.
But on the other side I’m also so freaking nervous. Like, moving to another city, in another country, on my own, completely alone, without having anyone I really know there… It’s more than crazy. And that makes me nervous. Because I’ve never really been alone in my life until now. There was always somebody there. And now I’m on my own. And besides that, leaving my family and my friends and my two pets aka babys is like the hardest thing ever. Especially leaving Peaches behind. Because I can keep in touch with my friends and family, I can talk to them, skype with them and they understand my situation. But how do I tell a cat that her mum isn’t going to be around until christmas? It’s impossible. I mean, I noticed that she can sense that there’s something going on, but who knows what she thinks. I’m just hoping that she won’t be too sad…

.
So, those are my worries. I’m not scared of being alone, I can easily get used to that. It’s just the newness and everything unknown that’s making me nervous. But I’m 100 percent sure that it’s going to be one of the coolest months in my whole life. Seriously. And I’m so freaking excited to work at the TV company. It’s going to be so awesome. And interesting. I’m already so happy to be able to learn all these new things and see how working there is. It’s going to be so cool. I’m sure.

.
I seriously can’t wait to learn all this new stuff and start this new chapter and meet new people and make all this new and exciting experiences. And of course I’ll keep in touch with my friends and family as much as I can. Skype and text and stuff. And they will also visit me in Berlin, which is supercool and already makes me happy. And me and mum are going to a Twenty One Pilots concert in Berlin, so my time already starts in the best way possible.

And of course I’ll keep all of you guys updated. Because you can probably all guess by now that my life in Berlin is going to be the main topic for the next three months. So yeah, that’s really happening and I’m just waiting for my brain to realize it. But still, the excitement is overwhelming. Oh and Happy Halloween guys. If any of you want to talk about this or anything else, I’m here. And now even happier to hear from you guys. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and life update and, as always, thanks for reading. x

The best job EVER

Hola everyone.

I’m a college student. That means I have to pay for books, food and the adventures students go on (coffee and cinema). Of course my parents give me money if I need it, but to be honest, it’s still a good feeling to earn at least a little bit of cash yourself. So as soon as I started uni, I looked out for a cool job. And I found it.

I literally found the best job ever, which is so perfect for me, that I can’t even describe it. I know I know, I should finally tell you what my job is and not just talk around it. So, I got a job at the concert venue in my university city and also the most important concert venue in the whole country. You probably know by now that I’m completely obsessed with going to concerts. And this job combines it perfectly. Live music and money AND of course a lot of fun.

The people I work with are all so down to earth and nice and funny and mostly as young as me, it’s basically a typical student job. But the most important part is that as soon as all the visitors are inside the concert hall, we get to attend the concert as well. Of course not the whole time and not like other attendees – we can stand at the entrance, but no screaming or singing or clapping – but we always have breaks and who would I be if I didn’t rush into the venue as soon as I can? Not myself, that’s for sure.

I don’t get paid a lot of money, but I can go to the cinema and have a nice evening with some chai latte and cake with it and that’s all I need. And I can see bands live and go to concerts for free if I work at them and that’s more than I ever wished for when I applied for the job. When my co-workers first told me that I literally could go inside the venue and attend the concert, I nearly fainted due to the huge amount of excitement and happiness.

I remember two months ago I saw Sunrise Avenue and just this week I got to see Muse (such an amazing band with the coolest show ever – there were drones, DRONES) and 5 Seconds of Summer (again). I love how happy everyone is because, like, who wouldn’t be happy when they are going to a concert?

So yeah, it’s literally the coolest job ever and so damn perfect for me. That’s why I never want to “loose” it, because I can go to concerts, get some money and I can work whenever I have the time, it’s so relaxing. And the bosses and co-workers are so nice and cool, I literally never want to leave. Oh and did I tell you that I get to go backstage too? Just saying.

If any of you have got a cool student job like me or want to talk about anything and everything, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x
