Wie man sich in Köln verliebt – Eine Anleitung

Die Stadt und ich hatten in 2008 einen eher schwierigen Start. In meinem ersten Winter hier in Köln verabschiedete sich meine Heizung zu einem Zeitpunkt, als die Temperaturen unter -10 °C fielen. Zwei Wochen nach dem Umzug musste ich daher meine neue, 25 qm kleine Wohnung mit meinen 4 Herdplatten beheizen. Mein Vermieter war derweil…

How to fall in love with Cologne -A Guide

  The city and I had a rather rough start in 2008. In my first winter here the heating system broke just when temperatures started to drop below -10 degrees. As a consequence, I had to heat my apartment with the 4 cooktops of my stove. Fortunately by that time my apartment had the manageable size…

FairMail

Ich bin jetzt seit knapp drei Monaten wieder aus Peru zurück und kann schon gar nicht mehr zählen, wie oft mir die Frage: „Und, wie war Peru?“ gestellt wurde.

Reisen mit Mukoviszidose

Ich hasse es. Ich hasse es über meine Krankheit reden zu müssen. Zum einen, weil ich es unfassbar anstrengend finde, die Neugier anderer Menschen zu befriedigen, die nicht in der Lage sind Google zu bedienen. Zum anderen und viel größeren Teil, weil ich mich weigere diese Krankheit Raum zu geben. Ich weigere mich, sie meinen…

Challenging myself
