Did I plan an entire trip through eastern Germany Did I plan an entire trip through eastern Germany after seeing one single Pinterest picture? Yes, yes I did.

Behold the view that made me go to Bremen. From the corner of Wüstestätte and Marterburg you get a gorgeous look at the small, winding streets that lead into the colorful Schnoor neighborhood. Once home to many a medieval fisherman, today it is a touristy place with many pubs, restaurants, souvenir shops and small business selling all kinds of haberdasheries. Efteling vibes, for sure. 

📍 Schnoor Viertel, Bremen, Germany 🇩🇪

Cologne photodump 🇩🇪 This summer I went sol Cologne photodump 🇩🇪

This summer I went solotripping through Germany with their €9 month-long public transport ticket. I've already been told that they will NOT repeat that offer this year 🥲 But I had my fun! First stop: Cologne!

If you saw my stories today then you already know that I lost pretty much all of my photos and videos from that trip. Here's what I could salvage from my DSLR and Lightroom library. More details and pictures are in the "Germany 3" highlight on my profile! 😊

And since I no longer post on my blog, I'm going to post a list of my favorite things here. You can save this post if you want to find it again later! 😌

COLOGNE FAVORITES:
1. Watch the sunset from the Rheinpromenade 
2. Instagram pictures at Fishmarkt
2. Count the Picasso's in Museum Ludwig
3. Lunch/Brunch & shopping in Belgisches Viertel
4. Dinner in Südstadt and @ais.baby for dessert
5. Picknick in the Botanical Garden
6. Coffee at @ernstkaffeeroester & @thecoffeegangkoeln 
8. Pause in the Fort X rose garden
7. Walk around Media-Park and Innerer Grüngürtel for cig city vibes
8. Admire the crane buildings along Im Zollhafen

Making a Home With Hema

As some of you may know, I transferred to uni this summer to chase a masters degree in Sociology. When I was studying Social Work, I used to commute to school everyday. It took a two hour bus drive to get there, with long stops and two switches in between that I absolutely hated. Since the university of Antwerp was even further away, my parents and I made the decision that it was best for me to look out for a studio in the city to stay in during the week. And so I did. And so I found one. It’s very small, but it has a perfect location. Across the university entrance and the student restaurant, a short walk from the main shopping area aaaaand there’s a coffee bar a mere twenty meters from my doorstep. Can’t get any better than that! My studio is fully furnished, but I still needed a lot of kitchen – and bathroom supplies before I can move in this Monday. I’ve been stalking my favorite decor stores all summer to find all the things I need and love! Hema, an originally Dutch store, always knows what a girl wants. Their whimsy kitchen wares are instant happy-makers and everything looks so colorful and sweet. Personally, I would like to keep things basic with little fun touches. I took a look in their web shop and maaaan, was that a bad idea! My money’s going to roll… and this is what I’m eyeing:
Grey jar with floral detail €5.50 • Grey jar with wood stop €6.75 • Glass bell-shaped container   , €7.75 • stackable glass bowls , €2.95 a piece • Striped tea towels , €5 per pack of 4 • yellow flask , 0.5 liter , €17.50
