A British expat's take on life in Germany
Tach! The time for Karneval is upon us again so I thought it would be fitting to give you a few words and phrases that you might need to use, or at least understand, if you found yourself celebrating what is known as 'the fifth season' this year. Pretty much every year, I head to… Continue reading “Kölle Alaaf!”: Useful Words and Phrases for the ‘Fifth Season’
I spent the majority of March not actually in Deutschland, rather 2 weeks in England and 5 days in Budapest. That did, however, result in a very exciting month!

What an... interesting month June has been. But, they say a picture says a thousand words. So here goes:

Despite the huge queues for the toilets (which was no fun after you'd had a few beers and broke the seal). Of course February also Pancake Day which a Brit… Continue reading February 2016 in pictures

As I guessed, the first freelance month was an exciting and challenging one,… Continue reading April 2015 in pictures
(English below!) Wenn man doppelt so viel Zeit an einem Wochenende hat, dann muss man die Zeit natürlich gut nutzen, und genau das habe ich am Osterwochenende dieses Jahr gemacht. Insgesamt habe ich die folgenden Städte zum ersten Mal besucht: Hachenburg, Porz, Zündorf und Troisdorf. Komische Kombination? Das wir sich klären... In Hachenburg hat Tim… Continue reading Osterwochenende
The past week and a bit has most probably been the most up-and-down time I've ever had in such a short space of time, and it's time to rant it all out on here, both the positives and the negatives, because I feel I just need to get it all written down to let it all… Continue reading A Rollercoaster Couple of Weeks
