Calendar Page: April

Hey readers,
you haven't heard from me since like...a month ago, I guess. But here I am again with the short reminder that a new month has started. It's April, our all favourite one when it comes to weather...not. But still a very lovely one, especially because spring's coming up here and sun is beginning to shine through the clouds, I could even catch some sunrays today (soo incredible, I know!).
The calendar page is about a very cute and happy animal with an even more happy saying on it, which is LIFE IS GOOD - So true!

To get my selfmade page just clich HERE, like always, and download its printable version.
Have a beautiful and happy April!
Til next time (or even month ;))
Cheers <3

Selfmade calendar: February

Guess what? Already one month of 2016 is over and this means there's a new calender page waiting for you! Excited? Then click HERE to download the free february.
Every beginning of a month I post the belonging calendar page. You can do with it whatever you want, just leave it on your computer or press the print button and decorate your wall with it. I think that calendars are always a good decoration because they are not only there to make your home look beautiful but also to inform you which date we're at :) In my room I hung up 3 different calendars this year so I will never miss a date I hope.


What about you? Do you also have this kind of addiction to beautiful calendars and how many of them did you hang up this year?

Travel at home

I've recently written a blogpost about couchsurfing and its benefits. Because of those I am here again to talk about it. I know, I seem obsessed with it, but I have to share all the funny stories!

It is cold cold winter, the snow is falling onto the ground and everything is getting white. These days I feel like covering myself in as many blankets as possible to not be cold and also because it looks kind of grey outside what makes it even more difficult to crawl out of bed. While getting super cozy in the afternoons I've been thinking about my summer travels and travelling in general, how awesome and full the days are opposed to the days in cold winter.


And suddenly the most simple idea came to me. Isn't it the cool new people I meet during travelling that make the experience so worth memorizing? I could respond to my inner self immediately: YES. So why not hanging out with other travelers in order to get a bit of the travel spirit? Sounds great, doesn't it? Hadn't been waiting a message in my couchsurfing inbox that hasn't been answered yet?
I finally found two messages from travellers who wanted to visit my town that weekend. I responded to them and even offered them my couch aka old matress :D When they texted back I already felt a hint of travel adrenaline going through my veins and the next morning I was super excited to meet up and explore my 'hood' with them. First I met up with a guy who was almost my age so we had a lot to talk about from the very beginning. Things didn't happen as I expected at all! I had a few plans what to show him that cold and snowy winter day, but right after the first minute of meeting him, everything turned out into one of these crazy spontaneous travel adventures that none of us was prepared for.

Well, it was still in the morning and we were on our way with two strangers who hardly spoke English nor German to their home where they prepared us a typical meal from their country of origin and shared a shisha with us. Despite communicating was a bit complicated we always found a way through gesticulating or the google translator. I am still surprised that we could even hold up something like a conversation and got to know each other a bit.

The day of my first couchsurfing experience as a host was followed by more fun things like going out together with my flatmate and and talking in our kitchen til the first rays of sunshine were coming out again. The next day 'my' couchsurfer finally got to see the city (what he was originally here for) and we spotted some cool places that I haven't really recocnized before because I was always walking around like, you know, someone who lives in this place and doesn't give a damn about all the beautiful buildings around. But they are, indeed, and another traveller had to come to make me see the amount of beauty I have at my doorstep! I even took photos, in my hometown, I almost felt like one of the tourists.


I was quite sad when he left in the evening because I had a week of ordinary life ahead of me with no
travel experience in view. How wrong I was. As I opened my inbox the day after I had a new message from a girl who was asking me if I could show her around the next day. I wasn't hesitating for a second and we arranged a time and place. She was from California so I had the chance to practice my English which felt a bit uncertain at first but later became the most normal thing.


When I'm looking back on this weekend full of excitement, adventure and new people, I feel so grateful for it, because in the first place it opened my eyes to the beauty of the things you may come along every day without recognizing. Secondly, I got proven that it IS possible to feel like travelling at home! If you have any doubts about the credibility of this, try it youself. I am not just writing this to share one of my unique experiences, it's to inspire YOU to have a look around the next corner even if it might seem cold and grey. The travel moments are waiting for you in the most unexpectable places :) But you, as you are an open minded seeker for adventures, you will find them <3

Have you ever surfed or hosted yet and made unforgettable experiences?

New Year's surprise

As 2016 is almost a week old, it's time for a little gift from me to you. Yes, I should have posted this at the 1st of January, I know. But this New Year's was so busy that I forgot that I had this surprise for you!
Shame on me, because it's something you don't wanna miss out on.
I am now presenting to you the first page of my illustrated calender 2016! (I did all the drawings myself with inspiration from Pinterest, nature and my head :)
Every beginning of a month from now on you will get the chance to download the referring calender page - of course, it's totally free :)
So what are you waiting for?



The months and weekdays in this calender are in German, because, as you might not have known, I am German and was giving away these calenders to all my friends this Christmas. If some German words don't bother you (or maybe you always wanted to practice the German months - don't worry, the numbers are the same as in English) you can still get your first calender page HERE.
Happy printing and a great start into your new year!

If you like the idea of my print-at-home calender, let me know. I would love to hear if it makes it on to your wall!
