Tourist in my own country

Hello there, my name is Isabeau and I’m 24 years old. I grew up in Germany, but I am half Dutch/ half English and doing my Bachelor in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a great place to study, and the Dutch culture is completely different compared with the German culture I can tell! You might Read More

Hi, it’s me

Hello, my name is Jakub Grim. I study journalism and areal studies with a focus on Central Europe and Balkan. I come from the Czech Republic. I live and I have always lived in Prague. I usually tell people here that I am from Prague, because most people know it rather than the Czech Republic. Read More

Welcome to All About Me!

Hello, My name is Gabrielle Gez but I am much more comfortable with just Gabi. For the most part, only my mother calls me Gabrielle and it is usually used when I am in trouble; so my full name is actually quite intimidating to hear. What am I? Whilst being in Munich where I am Read More

Goodbye Munich

It’s on a rainy day that I have to say goodbye to Munich… I’m a bit sad actually. I look forward to returning to France and meeting my friends and family whom I haven’t seen for over three months. But at the same time, I would have stayed a bit longer here. My stay here Read More

Already Out of Goodbyes

I really don’t know how I want to start this post, let alone what I’m going to say. I already said it in February, and I will say it again now… I’m not very good at goodbyes. In fact, I hate them, especially when I know they are not “see you later’s”, but real goodbyes. Read More

Only one year left and I’m done with my studies, which means that I’m going to enter the professional world. Having a job which implies responsibilities, carrying Read More

An ordinary day in the life of a… Wait, there’s no such thing as an ordinary day!

Since I was little, my dream had always been becoming a fashion designer. Or a hairdresser. Or a princess (yeah, I know, quite stereotypical… isn’t it?).

Are we really aware of climate change?

Last April, a part of France experienced frosts that damaged agricultural land, particularly wine-growing land. Such low temperatures were considered as surprising at that time of the year. When they saw images of destroyed crops on television or on the internet, many people expressed the same thought: why are we being told about global warming Read More

Climate is changing. Why aren’t why?

Global warming, endangering of species, air pollution, plastic use, ocean contamination, natural disasters, drought… We are constantly bombarded with detailed articles, scientific papers, worrying news and heart-wrenching images of the consequences of climate change worldwide. It has become a rather uncomfortable habit finding such an alarming number of articles on climate change in the media, Read More
