My favorite week of the year is upon us!
What is better than celebrating your birthday?! (Drum rolling… Suspense…) Celebrating it for an entire week! Yep, you heard me well: AN. ENTIRE. WEEK! (Insert overexcitement sounds here. Not to be confused with monkey sounds. Same, same but very different). I have been treating myself to week-long birthday celebrations for a few years now and…

Ode to a lifelong friendship
To all those amazing people in my life I am happily lucky to call friends. Wherever you are in the world, I am grateful to have met you and this is for you: We can spend weeks apart But with a catch up or a magic phone call Our fun times together can restart Where…

One of those days…
… when you wake up and you have the feeling that today you are meant to achieve great things. Well, yesterday I had this feeling and I was given the perfect opportunity: a lasertag game. A few of us had decided to go to the Lasertag arena in Emmen. This is a pretty straightforward concept: two teams (pink vs blue)…

Dude, you had one job!
#MarketingFail In a world where awareness against racism is being raised on a large scale, you do wonder how it is possible to stumble upon such marketing gems! At first, I thought that I had misread the name of the website (But hey, it wouldn’t be a first! Bloody French!). But a quick glance…

Pleased to meet you Hamlet, how art thou doing?
Good den, my lord! Let’s start with a shocking confession first… I, erm, well, had kinda (trying to go over my shame) heard of Hamlet (This is a start) BUT I had never opened this book. Sorry Willy! I therefore had no clue what the story was about ‘EYES ROLLING’ You are judging me at that exact…

Embarrassed or flattered?
I was invited on Sunday to go with some friends to a ‘made in Switzerland’ Oktoberfest in Winterthur. Since I still hadn’t made it to the proper one, I decided to join them. It was made clear to me that I couldn’t be part of it without wearing a traditional dirndl… (traditional in Germany –…

Haha good one, life! I owe you one!
You know life is a funny b*** when your firefighter alarm goes off in the middle of the night… … You look like Cruella de Vil with the breath of a camel and on site you have to deal with a very sexy policeman… Oops… Happy trails and remember: Carpe Diem!

Men vs women, a recurrent society topic that keeps us busy!
A few days ago, I almost chocked, reading an article that was published in the Swiss ’20 minutes’: it basically said that female politicians in Saudi Arabia have submitted for the first time a request to be allowed to drive (see below). Three questions came to my mind: 1) WHAT?? (Reflex question – I might…

The most expensive rubbish in the world!
I can only think of another place on the world where this would be acceptable: Singapore. I’m glad Zug Stadt (city) is finally reacting towards our uncivilized manners. When I moved to Switzerland almost 6 years ago, I was led to believe that my adopting country was a clean paradise. An urban legend it was,…
