I had just finalised all my flights and then she told me… she had been accepted to speak at a really awesome conference and it clashed with our plans. After we discussed the situation together, she concluded that, ironically, it was thanks to my…

Things I May Never Get Used To In Berlin
→: Things I May Never Get Used To In BerlinI have loved spending a few months in Berlin. I’ve loved my leisurely exploration of the city, and the fabulous people I have met.

The Boat
→: The BoatA year and a half ago now, I checked off a long-term bucket list item. I went to North Korea. (I blogged a lot about it, the summary is here). It’s interesting to look back and see what sticks after that amount of time, and being in Berlin right now and learning about East Germany…

Berlin, December 2014
→: Berlin, December 2014[slickr-flickr search=”sets” set=”72157650175504376″ align=”center”] I came to Berlin for a few days in December to meet friends over from Australia. It was a pretty relaxed trip, as I knew I would be back in January for longer. There is a lot of great historical stuff to see in Berlin, but it can be quite confronting,…
