    What language should I learn? How to find the best language for you.

    2021-10-24 / No Comments

    During the lockdown(s), you got bored. You downloaded Duolingo, Memrise or Babbel. And you started the basics of learning another language. But now, the novelty has faded away. Life is somewhat back to normal. Maybe you were already starting to struggle with the language you were trying to learn.  You…

In an attempt to be more German, I even brought beers along! Except I didn't bring a bottle opener and cut both my hands trying to open them. So I guess I'm not fully integrated just yet... 

At least the views were all worth it 😍 

Thanks for the company @_house_of_figs 💕

Eibsee Rundweg 😍 If you're visiting this beaut Eibsee Rundweg 😍

If you're visiting this beautiful area of Bavaria, I highly recommend taking this 7,2 km leisurely hike around this vividly turquoise lake.

Featuring forest, lake, and mountains, what more do you want from an afternoon out?! When you're finished, the cable car to the top of Zugspitze is right next door if you fancy a serious change in altitude 🗻 

📍 Eibsee, Grainau, Bavaria

Honestly the worst part about having covid is not Honestly the worst part about having covid is not being able to go outside and touch some grass. Fever, fatigue, endless coughing and shortness of breath aside, of course.

You better believe next week ima be running around like a wee little hobbit on an adventure 😄 (swipe for actual footage of me in the coming days)

My excitement for the coming week is three-fold:

☝️ Going to Berlin for a fun team event with my lovely colleagues.

✌️ Meeting more "strangers off the Internet" IRL sorry mum.

🤟 Mr Steffi comes home after a long ol' 2 weeks in Sweden AND we get our next lot of British tourists on the same day!

How wholesome and lovely 😊

Last week I did Augsburg ➡️ Berlin ➡️ Hamb Last week I did Augsburg ➡️ Berlin ➡️ Hamburg ➡️ Augsburg in 48 hours. I barely saw anything but here's how it went down✌️

I socialised so much my anxiety boiled over and I can't get it back in the pot so excuse me while I hide from the outside world for a while and retreat to the Internet and books for comfort 🥰

(and for reference, I did not use the €9 ticket for any of this travel because hun honestly if work are paying then I'm taking the ICE 💁🏻‍♀️)

We had so much fun showing Mr Steffi's sister around Bavaria. We visited Augsburg, Munich, Dachau, and our favourite parts of the northern Romantic Road 🥰

Now to try and rest and recharge my activity batteries until our next visitors appear in July!

It turns out the rumours are 100% true - when you do something for a living, the last thing you want to do at the end of the workday is put effort into your own “thing”.

Also, I’m working freelance on the side of my full-time job and, well, I like money so I chose to prioritise that work instead of Instagram. 

But I’ve been stalking everyone’s posts when I have time and have loved seeing and hearing people’s thoughts and opinions! I particularly enjoyed posts from @rory_in_trip and my new connection @sojaninechristie especially her #Play video with @janeordaz ✨💞

Anyway have this sweet photo Mr Steffi took of me at Eibsee last week 🤗

#mayonthemove2022

It gets harder as you get older, doesn't it?

To allow yourself moments of freedom and joy throughout the day.

There's always something else you could (or should) be doing.

But it's important to invite those moments in, even when they come unannounced.

Here's a few ways I give myself permission to be completely playful and relaxed:

👣 Exploring: it doesn't always have to be somewhere new. Sometimes the best places to explore are in your local area.

🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga: the best way to play with your body in my opinion (apart from, ya know...THAT kind of play 😜) and it brings me so much joy.

📖 Reading: becauss there's no better form of escapism.

🎶💃 Music/Dancing: I won't show you that because the Internet doesn't need to see me dancing, seriously...but in the words of Frank Turner, "be a fan of any band who ever made you wanna move your feet" ❤️
