Parisian (fl)air

Weird crossroad in sticky Paris with a halved house.

City life or country life?

Usually you can't choose where to stay. But what if you were really free to decide where to live, would you opt for the city or the country life?
Well, after having enjoyed sleeping in a site trailer for almost two weeks I'm in love with the chirping of crickets, the sky full of brights stars, fresh air, great fruit trees and the dew on the grass in the mornings... Going back to the city definitely means waking up from niced dreams!

How I became an urban farmer!

My first own garden salad!

Our field of 40 square metres

Since spring 2016 I've joined an urban farming project called "Ackerhelden". Together with two friends who told me about the project I rented a piece of land. We grow potatoes, kohlrabi, salad, pumkin, tomatoes, spinach and much more. In short, urban farming or urban gardening is the practice of cultivating, processing and distributing food in or around a village, town, or city.

Why do I make the effort to plant my own vegetables instead of buying them only in the supermarket? Our modern agricultural production systems function at the expense of human beings and the environment. Meanwhile many people are talking about climate change and sustainability. But too few are willing to change their habits and their way of life. I think it's not only about producing words but also action! At least we could try a little bit more. 

A walk through Lublin

Fancy toilet in Lublin

What happens if you get off the bus after a four-hour ride from Kraków to Lublin? You go to a fancy toilet of a rather shabby bus station. Catholic Poland is full of surprises! ;)

Russia on the map of the world

A hostel in Lublin, Poland. Look at the map. Anything special about Russia??^^

Changing perspectives: Another world is possible

You can see a lot when looking at the surface of a pond. You can see and experience things differently when changing perspectives. You can change everything by knowing that there are many ways of seeing things.
