Tank Hill, San Francisco

Whenever there is snow outside these days, I dream about walking around the hills of San Francisco. Last summer, we found this precious little place because we were too tired to walk all the way up to Twin Peaks. And we didn't regret it: to have the sunshine, the wind and the foggy view all for yourself is what makes the sights of San Francisco.

A question: can you find the Golden Gate Bridge in these photos?

about reading your favorite magazines

Reading one of your favorite magazines is like coming at home. Sometimes, you just want to close the door and leave the world outside - then there it is, filled with words so warm like a hug. On other days, somebody you love had already cooked dinner for you as a surprise - and this is when stories from other people inspire you like you never knew they would.

For me, being a freelance writer besides my studies in Literature, I like to be surrounded by beautifully written words all the time. At the opposite side of my bookshelf is this collection of magazines - always ready to sit down and flip through.

Chocolate cake

On sundays, to treat yourself with something sweet marks the perfect end of every week. With some chocolate melting above the stove, eggs mingeling in a bowl, everything is waiting for to be combined in a chocolate cake. Shared with your loved ones, a chocolate cake gives everyone the feeling of enjoying every little piece of cake - and when it's gone, this feeling lasts even longer until the following sunday.

about staying in contact with old friends

At least once a year, I meet with my oldest friends. There is a special relationship only time can create. When you sit on the table together and laugh about old times like it was just yesterday - and you had the same worries and wishes for the future like you do now.

A thank you to real friends.

What about a sweet surprise for a dear friend?

Oh, hello friend! 

Friends of friends.

about making plans

 'To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.' // Oscar Wilde.  

To make plans is nothing else than to be alive. And nothing is so encouraging and uplifting than to make plans for the future. Whether you plan to leave the country and go on a world trip or to meet with your friends more often. Even the little things can make a wish come true.  

To get inspired.

Some lists.

Why don't you build castles in the air? 

To make your own lists.

Homemade Pesto

With spring around the corner, I wanted to create something on my own out of ingredients the nature has to offer. And to welcome the green colors outside, what is better than a homemade pesto - with arugula and roasted walnuts?

Café Central, Vienna

The Café Central  is a place where you feel like you're sitting in a bubble of coffee. To live in the moment, admire the architecture, order something sweet and then enjoy everything - bit by bit, sip by sip 

- in honor of all the wonderful writers.

about enjoying the first warm days

When the sun shines, the city awakes: the streets get more crowded, the smiles get brighter and the laughs get louder. By now, at the latest, it is time to wake up and welcome the new year by celebrating every sunny day - with wine, with poetry or with food, as you please.

Oh spring...

To enjoy the little things in life.

Some color to brighten up every day.

Love is in the air.
