When my friend asked me if I would like to join ‘Critical Maths’ where a bunch of ‘psychists’ (probably a fancy English word for psychologists?) meet every last friday evening of the month, I was skeptical. What would I do there? I haven’t had any proper math classes since my graduation and frankly, I could think of better ways to spend my Friday evening. A couple of weeks later I found out …
I have been waiting all summer long for this moment: sandy beaches, green sparkling waves, sunshine and hot surfer guys. And finally all those day dreams became true. My friend Leo, who I once met at a surfcamp two years before, invited me out on a roadtrip along the Atlantic Coast. Equipped with a VW camper van, canned food, lots of sun cream and our surf gear we started our …
The big native market in the town of Chichicastenango (short: Chichi) in Guatemala, is one of the most important trade markets in the whole of Central America, showing off the many unique characters of the different communities, which all express themselves through the different patterns, styles and colours of their clothing.

While Nottingham Hill, Sunday Bricklane and Broadway Market are also quite popular and fun to go to, …
Don’t you just love Scandinavians? Good-looking, fashionable, smart and incredibly sweet. And as if that wasn’t enough, they also have great food! So great in fact, that I kept eating pretty much non stop, duing my recent visit to the Danish capitol. My Danish friends, whom I had met during a semester abroad in San Diego always raved about their city, saying they would always come back here eventually. But …
Sunshine seems to be quite rare this summer. This is why we should enjoy every sunny day and make the best out of it. And what makes a day be better than relaxing at the beach or getting involved in some outdoor activities such as skating, surfing or listening to some good music?
Only one hour away from London you can find the cosy town of Brighton, which offers all of …
I’m super passionate about all sports that involve a board, so it comes at no surprise that I regularly find myself standing on a surf-, skate- or snowboard.

Without any second thoughts I found myself in the desert oasis of Huacachinas, in South-West Peru, just a couple of hours away …
Close your eyes and imagine yourself rolling through nature, metropolitan cities or along a coastal walk – but not by car, not by bike, nor by scooter… no, you are on your longboard listening to music and just enjoy exploring the area in a different way.

A German Coast Guard is sitting in his office. Suddenly a radio signal from another ship comes in: „we are sinking, we are sinking“
The German Coastguard seems to be quite calm and asks „What are you thinking about?“
