  • In Concert:Omara Portuondo in Lucerne

    English: Ever since I heard the Buena Vista Social Club I was in love with the music. I truly regretted not to be born a decade earlier. This has been eased since last Thursday. Even though I wasn’t the whole Buena Vista Social Club, I couldn’t be more happy. I saw Omara Portuondo – 80…

  • GIMUN in Geneva

    I just got back from Geneva. It had been four very intense days and not only because of the Conference. You see on Thursday I was getting to Geneva and went straight to the Graduate Institute. The building the Conference was taking place at is situated in a public park at the very brink of…

  • 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…

  • Towns of the World: Constance

    I just got home from Indonesia. Can you say ‘get home’ if you actually move from one home to another? Anyways, I am still not used to all the details of life in Germany. Sure i survive the basics, but as the German saying goes ‘the devil is in the detail’. It’s the small things…

  • Indotrip: Around Samosir Island

    From the before mentioned Hotel Carolina we went to explore the Island of Samosir. We rented some motorcycles for a reasonable price there and drove north along the Samosir’s shore. The beautiful view on the Danau Toba made us stop every few kilometers in order to enjoy the beauty. Our destination was at the northern…

  • Indotrip: The Jungle Inn

    If you want to see wild Orang Utan in Sumatra, Bukit Lawang is your place to go to. That’s why ended up there. When we got there, we walked all the way up the river until the village ended and the National Park Gunung Leuser began. And there at the border of civilisation we found…

  • Malaysian Adventures: Time’s up

    By the time I’m writing this I’m already sitting in my room in Bogor. I made it back home. The last two days in Malaysia I had to spend in the Embassies. First in the German, later on in the Indonesian. But after some time I had it all figured out and was ready to…

  • Too much to report

    I greed you from Malaysia. Yeah you heard me right. I’m not in Indonesia any more. I’m not done yet telling out about my Indotrip. Further I had some activities from YCM, but first I’ll tell you about this Malaysian Adventures. For unknown reasons my visa wasn’t extended anymore, so me and Stefan had to…

  • Indotrip: Hotel Carolina

    One remarkable place on our trip was the Hotel California – wait Hotel Carolina – we stayed in Tuk Tuk, a peninsula on the peninsula of Samosir in Lake Toba. If you’re still confused by California, Tuk Tuks (really not the transportation!) or the peninsula on the peninsula, take your time. For the others I…

  • Indotrip: The Beginning is the End

    This had been the three fastest weeks of my life, at least it felt like that. I remember  like it was yesterday how I waited at the Jakarta International Airport for two hours because my two good friends Hanke und Adrian wouldn’t come out. But actually yesterday I saw them walk back into the Jakarta…
