Headstrong but sweet, stubborn but generous, naïve but clever, emotional but strong, pushy but kind, introverted and extroverted, funny, weird and interesting literature-nerd, feminist, travel-junkie, nature-lover and animal-friend. Oh and did I mention: Extremely humble! I love adventures, new things, music, art, want to try new sports (especially when I'm finally a size 0), learn new languages and instruments and basically want to see and do everything. Sometimes I get held back by my moody predisposition/depression but generally I am a very sociable person. My sister forced me to write a blog, so please direct your complaints towards her. I am and always will be completely innocent!
Nature and Gardening Nothing quite manages to make me as happy as the beauty of nature. The forms, the colours and the amazing details are pure perfection. And as spring is about to begin I can feel my spirits lifting just looking at the green coming through. The trees and flowers, the lakes and rivers, … More Happiness factor No. 1
What does happiness mean to you? How does it affect you and what brings you happiness? For me happiness is the wonderful realisation of your own luck in the midst of everyday life.

Call it what you will – depression or seasonal affective disorder … More Let’s talk about wintertime
So my sister Fiona is an artist. She was always sketching, drawing and painting the most amazing pictures. It was a little frustrating since I completely lack that artistic talent but I believe that even if you are not good at something you should do it if it makes you happy. For instance, I always … More My futile attempts at art
Since I’m an inherently awkward person and try my best not to offend people, I often find myself in somewhat impossible situations. Situations I have difficulty navigating smoothly. This is the story of how my handbag saved me. Do you want to know what you can find in this woman’s handbag? Well…fish! I was invited … More Something fishy going on
I wanted to keep the tone of this blog nice and light for now. Just a few maybe funny posts here and there about how I find myself in the weirdest sort of situations and so on. I wanted to encourage people to just be theirselves – unapologetically, and to be happy. But i decided … More Sleepless
Let me begin with one of my most embarrassing moments of all time. Just before my final exams at uni I decided to move into a shared flat with my friend Ally. I had been living in the same house just on another floor and had the flat all to myself. So I notified the … More Sleeping Beauty
I honestly can’t remember how long my sister Fiona has been bugging me to start writing a blog. So here it is! Congratulations! I bet the entire internet has been waiting for this day! Though I definitely have a tendency to overshare (I swear it’s oral diarrhea – just wildly uncontrollable) in “normal” conversations, I … More Ready for Take-off
