XXL graffiti with a message: Saype

I consider the art of graffiti quite impressive. On every walk through the city I keep searching for new works of art and I always keep wondering how the artists, while creating their huge pieces, still manage to keep an overview. One person who, when it comes to dimension, even went a step further is ...

Candle light and the sweet smell of cookies

Every year it’s one of the most beautiful days for me, the 24th of December, Christmas Eve. Time with my family, time to chat, to play, to share things, to relax. Time to feel good and do something good for the others. In general, I’m really not a person who sticks to traditions and routine. ...

Only after she died in 2009, her 1,200 undeveloped film rolls from her estate were sold by auction and thus they ...

Halloween in the Big Apple

We all know that in the States Halloween is a much bigger affair than in Europe. Whereas only small groups of kids stroll around suburban areas in zombie or witch outfits, hunting for treats, and in the cities youngsters make an exception and dress up for a beer on Friday night, America goes crazy! In ...

An autumn stroll in Ireland’s capital

“Cozy like a pub, hospitable like a village,” I could read before my departure on some websites as I was looking for some travel inspiration. I wasn’t quite able to imagine what that meant.
