Why I Love Reading

September 2, 2022

Reading is so important to me. Growing up I always red books, especially as a teenager. I could disappear for hours in my room on rainy days, covered in a comfy blanket and just read away.

Today it’s hard for me to find time in my daily life to just spend reading and I wish I would do it more often. It’s just this comfortable quiet time I love so much. Exploring a totally different world, stay quite and explore a totally different world. Reading online or on a tablet, doesn’t quite have the same relaxing effect to me. I don’t know, but this will probably never change for me. Since I already work on a computer all day, I want to get away from a screen in my spare time. Read More

A Happy Dog At The Beach

I took this picture by accident, the dogs were just running on the beach back and forth and I was trying to capture the Rangitoto volcano on the other side of the beach. But when I looked at my pictures in the evening I found this one. It made me smile to see this dog so happy and full of energy. Animals are always so happy, it just puts a smile on our faces. I love it! Read More

A Creative Work Lunch

Since we work from our home office at the moment, we love to get out for a work/lunch date at least once or twice a week, sometimes more often. Therefore we are so happy that we can find so many amazing lunch and café places here in Auckland that offer yummie vegan food. We try not to eat as much bakery or cooked food any more, but here in Auckland we can even find cool places offering raw vegan food.

It’s like vegan lunch heaven for us, since we didn’t have as many options to eat out back in Germany, except we visited Berlin (which also seemed to be some kind of vegan paradise) last year. When we stopped by at my old neighborhood in Frankfurt Bergerstrasse this summer (before we headed to the WordCamp Cologne), we also found some new vegan places that opened up. So I think more and more places offer vegan food, which I looove :) Read More

Mount Fuji On A Train Ride to Tokyo

It was our second time in japan, but somehow at our first visit we totally missed to see the famous Mount Fuji while taking the train out of Tokyo. This time, on our second visit during Christmas and New Year 2015 we were a lot luckier and saw the stunning mount multiple times.

If you see it for the first time, you are a bit baffled and can’t believe it. It is so beautiful and just suddenly you can see the mountain very clearly from the train window. In winter I think the mountain is even more beautiful with the top covered in snow like it is always portrait on pictures and illustrations everywhere in Japan. Read More

Getting Out For A Weekend Walk

February 4, 2022

Karekare is one of our favourite new weekend destinations here in Auckland. It’s one of the rough west coast beaches with wild nature, not many people around and black, soft volcano sand.

WE LOVE TO COME HERE ON THE WEEKENDS, since it is only a short drive away from the city. And it’s such a different world. Once you reach the Waitakere ranges suddenly the city setting disappears and nature steps in. It gets greener and greener and you are in the middle of a beautiful national park. You can take hikes or drive all the way down a narrow winding road to the Karekare beach (most people drive on to the more famous Piha beach, but we love Karekare even more now).
