🎄☃️ Festive szn 🎄☃️ Counting this a 🎄☃️ Festive szn 🎄☃️ Counting this as my first official German Christmas because my first year I was too depressed and unemployed to enjoy anything and the two years that followed were...well, a little bit not great. Anyone else got any good Bavarian/German Christmas Market recommendations? Please don't say Munich I already went and my bank account can't take it 😫 #Germany #lifeingermany #christmasmarkets #weihnachtsmarkt #christkindlesmarktaugsburg #christkindlmarktaugsburg #visitbavaria #festiveseason
I'm not a nester. And I'm not good at DIY, nor do I'm not a nester. And I'm not good at DIY, nor do I care to be. Having the perfect house with coherent interior design has never been of interest to me, although I love visiting my friends who have wonderfully put together homes. I'm often fascinated by how their brains managed to make all of ✨this✨ happen. Instead, chaos tends to reign in my world. Even in the UK I never truly felt at home anywhere. Moving to Germany made that feeling a thousand times worse for a long time. So I learned to build a home within myself. It's taken a long time, but pursuing this allowed me the space to finally feel at home in Germany, and in the UK. Two weeks ago, on the plane from Munich to Manchester, somebody asked me where I was going. Aside from surpressing the urge to make the dad joke of "Same place you are hopefully" *chortles in dad*, I answered "I'm going home." The same thing happened on the flight back to Munich. "Where are you heading?" asks the lady next to me. "I'm going home." Each time I land in the UK, it feels like home again. It's comfortable. Familiar. There's a Greggs with a lovely warm pasty and a yum yum waiting to greet me as I step off the plane. Each time I land in Germany, it feels like home again. It's comfortable. Familiar. There's a bakery with a pretzel waiting to greet me as soon as I step off the plane. During the #virtualcampfire2022 virtual meet last week, the word "homeful" was brought up to describe that feeling of having multiple homes. I can't for the life of me remember the origin of this word, but I really really like it. My home is in England. It's also in Germany. It's in my friends. My partner. Home is within myself. If you made it this far into my rambling, have a gold star ⭐ Part of #virtualcampfire2022 by @chameleon_coaching and @southboundstories EDIT: as Wiebke kindly mentioned in the comments, the term originates from @tandemnomads so all credit to her ❤️ #findinghome #discoveringhome #exploringhome #livingabroad #findinghomeabroad
Got 5 mins for a chat? Here are some thoughts on Got 5 mins for a chat? Here are some thoughts on ✨kindness✨ for #virtualcampfire2022 I'd also like to add that my fave UK daily newsletter, @theknow.media, did a recent feature on kindness where they shared studies and articles that prove being kind is legit good for your health so...don't be a dick I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ @southboundstories @chameleon_coaching #kindnessacrosscultures #kindness #itscooltobekind
Although everyone has childhood friends, I'm sure Although everyone has childhood friends, I'm sure very few people can claim to have known them since birth. Well, Amy and I have 🥰 She was my closest friend for most of my childhood and teenage years. While university and adult life caused us to drift apart, the love and respect we have for each other has never wavered. It was an absolute delight to celebrate her wedding day with her this week in the UK 👰💒 and so much fun to see most of my other childhood friends in one place. It's a rarity these days. Amy is now officially the most "grown up" of the lot of us with a husband, a house and a baby! Congratulations Amy & Dom 💕 I'm so happy for you!!
Saying hello to the #virtualcampfire2022 community Saying hello to the #virtualcampfire2022 community 👋 I'm slowly getting my creativity and motivation for making stuff back to previously seen levels. If we're connecting for the first time then hey! I'm a 🇬🇧 living in 🇩🇪 since 2019. 👩🏻‍💻 I'm a (mostly) corporate/tech copy and content writer, planner and manager. 💭 I overthink everything and, despite my sometimes intense anxiety, I enjoy throwing myself into the depths of the unknown. 🤗 I can't take myself seriously because honestly what's the point and I make a lot of self-deprecating jokes but I'm also British so it's in our nature. I've also just been to Britain to recharge my sarcasm batteries so expect a lot of that here👍 I guess that's me.
