There's simply no words that can describe New Zealand accurately enough.
Singapore, the biggest mall in the world
My first time in Singapore was not in Real Life (RL). As part of the Twinity team, I first walked the streets of Singapore on its virtual version. Twinity was the European answer to Second Life, making available twin virtual cities to explore, adding a The Sims touch with a virtual real estate market.
Shanghai, mon amour
My first time landing in Shanghai, I definitely made a newbie mistake. I was flying with British Airways in a pretty Business Class experience, even if I had just purchased an STA Travel Around the World ticket. I got a bit too comfy and I felt like home - so instead of sleeping, I binge-watched all the good stuff the flight entertainment service provided.
It was 2007 and long flights were the de facto Netflix.
'Tis the season
I'm cruising Australia at the moment but I'm still very well connected with the news in the world. I'm trying to unplug but I'm seeing way too much hatred around and instead of writing about my adventures in Shanghai, Singapore, New Zealand and Oz, I cannot stand silent and keep this inside of my chest:
On the magic of flying
Whenever I’m on a plane, I can’t help but thinking on Caspar D. Friedrich. Wanderer above the Sea of Fog. The traveler on top of the mist, now the Easyjet-setter above the clouds.
10 years in Berlin
It’s Wednesday 31st of August 2016 and yesterday marked exactly 10 years in Berlin, since I first moved to B-Town on 30th August 2006.
And I just did something I never did during all this time. Today I got in a plane without having a return ticket back to Berlin.
Bye bye Madonna, hallo Urban Sports Club!
If you follow me on Twitter, you know I like to do sports. When I first moved to Berlin to live and die here (I mean it!), my budget was nearly non-existent and that's how I started jogging. My first love is swimming, but that meant buying a ticket every single time and I figured out that going for a run was free and I should try.
BabelCamp 2015 in Brno: a moravian adventure
Beginning of September Christoph Raethke took a couple of Berlin adventurers to Brno, in the Czech Republic, to attend the BabelCamp, a Social Media conference in the Moravia region.
Clean - a life changing detox experience
As some of you might know, since the beginning of April I've been doing the Clean program. Clean is a 21 day detox consisting in 2 blended meals a day (breakfast and dinner usually) and a solid meal (lunch).
I have a story with Social Media Week Berlin. And now it is time for some confessions.
