Berlin is the special place we call our home. While travelling the continents and discovering the world, we are constantly stumbling over cities that somehow remind us of our beloved home far, far away. This is about Finding Berlin in the distance. Because home is where your heart is.
You may noticed that I got chosen as one of the Leica explorers and currently hanging out in South America doing something like Finding South America for Leica. If you wanna follow me on my trip with every 24 hours photo updates head over to my Leica Blog. PowPow!
Had I known Melbourne would become my last stop — for the time being, anyway — I would‘ve chosen another song to accompany me on my flight from Sydney than Whitney Houstons „How Will I Know“. But alas, it is what it is. From now on, whenever that song plays, my mind will flash through two and a half weeks of Melbourne. At
Finding Sydney wasn’t so difficult if you ask me in retrospective — in fact, Sydney is quite an easy place to discover while you’re amongst friends and tourists likewise. What could possibly be missed in a city built on water, with people as diverse as six continents can be, full of style, skyscrapers and seriousness alike? I can tell
Every New Years Eve Day for as long as I can remember, I would turn on the TV at 2 PM (CET) to watch the first and most famous fireworks on our dear planet in Sydney, Australia. Every year I would see the Harbor Bridge and the Opera on a background of every pyromanics dreams. Colors exploding all over the
When you’re travelling Thailand, you’re bound to end up in Bangkok more than once. We tried to avoid this possibility as much as possible, especially after basically fleeing when we experienced the city the first time (see Finding Bangkok). But after the second and then the third time, something happened. Things changed. Bangkok changed. Did
Paris, where are you? entering a metropolis always means that in most times you have heard about this place before. the french capitol is the perfect example for that. it is loaded with a massive visual hype which kinda lets you know what you get before you come there. finding paris is both– easy and difficult. it doesn’t take
Travelling through a city and living in a city can mean different things. While travelling I’ve become more sensitive to the matters concerning the history and the development of a country. That said, it’s not easy to avoid these things in South East Asia and everyone touches on that ground at some point. Surviving both Laos and Vietnam with
Luang Prabang was so far the most beautiful spot we’ve found here in South East Asia. Simple and seducing — the old French colonial style architecture, the laid back attitude of the Lao people and finally some baguette and tasty crepes for our European tastes. Accompanied by a stunning landscape and a whole lot of sunshine, Luang Prabang was
The Thais have a very spiritual saying which they use at every possible occasion. I‘m pretty sure it goes back to the first monks trying to decipher the meaning of life. It‘s become a contagious mantra throughout the times and you won‘t spend a day in Thailand without hearing it at least once: Same same, but different. It
Bangkok. Backpackers haven, door to Asia, the first touch of adventure you’ll have once you decide to leave your regular citizen life. It’s loud, it’s packed, it’s noisy. I remember watching The Beach for the first time in my life (yes, I watched it before I read the book and I do regret it), and I was drawn in by

During summertime you really need a good reason to leave berlin. The budget of the average berlin kid is small and the opportunities to spend it are countless. You don’t wanna end
