  • CouchSurfing and GIMUN

    I always heard about it , I often thought about it, but for some unknown reason I never dared to join it – even though CouchSurfing just fits my philosophy perfectly. I will join an MUN (Modelling United Nations) Conference in Geneva about Youth Perspectives next week. I will participate in a committee concerned with…

  • Short Circuit – Kurzschluss – Cortocircuito

    English: You know these days? You are randomly watching TV, nothing you really meant to watch. As you don’t really care, you are actually more occupied with your computer than with the TV itself. It is a cultural coverage on Arte following a movie you watched and it is way beyond midnight. There is no…

  • Pieces: A Bus in the Fog

    Sometimes I just feel like writing down some pieces of thoughts running through my head. Today is one of these days. Actually it is way too early in the morning to be on the road. But you can’t get to Zürich doing nothing. Still sleepy I leave the warm bed, the warm apartment behind and…

  • Kitchen Adventures: Mushrooms & Pasta

    You realized I barely blog right now. That’s because I’m preparing myself for the admission exams at university. But once in a while everyone needs a little break and something relaxing to do. Some meditate, some jog, some watch TV, some just sleep, and some even cook. I love cooking and I find it very…
