I'm back!


Hey folks,

sorry for the long delay. I know it's been over a month without a new post. I went through a few things, there have been some changes, and I just didn't feel like blogging. But I am back now! I won't be going to Nepal next month, so I'm sorry to disappoint those of you who were looking forward to my travel vlog from Nepal. But I am doing my best to provide you with awesome alternative topics! Before I took my little break from blogging I prepared some travel tips in Germany for you. I didn't finish it, because I didn't really enjoy it. And that is the main point of my blog. So here is the unfinished blogpost about travel destinations in Germany. Maybe at some point I will show you a full version of it. Once again, I'm really sorry for the delay and this crappy post. Hang on, next time I have a fantastic post about an awesome destination for summer 2016!

Travel destinations in Germany

Berlin

Berlin is the capital city of Germany and located in the North-East. Population wise it is the second biggest city in the European Union. It is located on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel and is composed of several forests, parks, gardens, rivers and lakes. Berlin has a lot of monuments and history to offer with the Berlin Wall that divided the city into East and West after WWII, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The capital city is famous for its TV Tower and the Alex (Alexanderplatz), the Brandenburg Gate with the prestigious avenue Unter den Linden, Berlin International Film Festival, the Reichstag building, Hackescher Markt, and the museum island. It is the third most visited city destination in Europe, popular for its charm and culture, its diversity, vivacity and trendsetting atmosphere as well as its nightlife. There is also a Madame Tussauds in Berlin. For a complete list of sights and monuments in Berlin check out this link: http://www.berlin.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/a-bis-z/

Here are a few photos of my trip to Berlin two years ago:

Munich

Munich is the capital city of Bavaria, one of the 16 states of Germany. It is most famous for its Oktoberfest, beer and traditional clothing such as the Dirndl and Lederhosen. But Munich has a lot more to offer. It is located in the very south of Germany, near the Alps, and on clear days you can have a picturesque mountain panorama. Munich is an alpha-world city and has worldwide the 4th best quality of living. In terms of sightseeing you have the Munich Frauenkirche, the Nymphenburg Palace, the BMW Headquarters shaped like a four-cylinder, the New Town Hall at the Marienplatz,....

To be continued...

So, this was the unfinished version of travel destinations in Germany. What happened this past month? I finished and handed in my Bachelor Thesis, my boyfriend and I broke up, I cancelled my trip to Nepal, and Brexit. So how does this affect my future? I am not sure yet. It will definitely affect it, I just don't know how. I am still planning on moving to the UK. I expanded my search from a job in Glasgow or Manchester to jobs and masters in the entire United Kingdom. So whish me luck!

I will see you next time when I am introducing Mauritius as a destination to you!

See you soon

Love you
