Hohenzollern Castle
I've visited Hohenzollern twice so far (2020 & 2023) and both times, this Castle leaves me in awe. Everything about it is out of this world, and yet, you can easily go up to its halls and wander about. But which castle is this one? Let's see. Hohenzollern Castle is the ancestral home of the… Continue reading Hohenzollern Castle
Summer Adventures #3
The All Saint's Abbey was a Premonstratensian monastery near Oppenau in the region of the Black Forest of Germany. According to legend, around 1192, Dutchess Uta of Schauenburg considered where to build a monastery in memory of her late husband, Welf VI. She tied a bag of gold to a donkey and set it to… Continue reading Summer Adventures #3
Summer Adventures #2
Well, this one was taken in Freiburg (South Germany). But honestly, it doesn't look like it (at least to me). The colours, that little corner window....it's something else. More oriental.

Letters to Spring.
Dear Spring, Welcome. You are finally here... Everyone loves you because you're the reason that comes after the cold days of winter. At least for the ones here in the northern continents of the world. Things warm up day by day, the flowers begin to bloom, the spring allergies comes along, the colors become vibrant… Continue reading Letters to Spring.
Let it go.
This last two months, maybe a bit more, I've learned a very important lesson. Pretending that something doesn't affect you in any way - especially a negative one- doesn't reduce the impact it can have on you and your mental health. Surely, ignoring some emotions is a very tempting thought and something many of us… Continue reading Let it go.
Merry Christmas, Sir.
2022 is almost at an end. A couple of weeks more and we will be stepping into 2023 with the best of hopes for a better year. While 2022 is coming to an end of us, it is also the year for Sir Elton John to leave the music scene. After 60 years of colorful… Continue reading Merry Christmas, Sir.
Lazy Sundays
Good morning world! It's Sunday and that means laziness. Right? Let's talk about it. Where I grew up - Greece - the Sundays I remember were always sunny days. Even in the middle of winter, we would wake up to the sun shining above us and with the chill remaining in the air. Not that… Continue reading Lazy Sundays
