I did a 30 day squat challenge with a friend and the last day of it was to actually perform 250 squats! And I did it. :D It wasn't even that hard after gradually increasing the work load every day for 30 days.

 Ice dipping is basically going for a swim or dip in ice cold water. Preferably in a natural source of water, like a lake or a river, during the cold/winter season. It does not actually have to be freezing, but the outdoor temperature sh...

 i am not sure if the majority of you will also think this is a weird item (apparently, a lot of the people close to me have already tasted this - I had no idea!), but I bought kiwiberries today! I didn't even know they existed until re...

Luckily, I managed to land my position of choice and will now start my PhD journey. Wish me luck and lots of endurance. 

My goal is to become a researcher in biomedical science. Therefore, I will need to complete an M.Sc. in a related field. 2020 - finally, I finished my university studies with an M.Sc. in Medical Immunosciences & Infection. So happy,...

 I think I have finally found someone who really appreacites me, "gets" me and will not be disappointing me like all the ones before him, because we tick the same way. It was friendship that turned into love. <3

After a long day at work and an intensive workout, I felt I needed to spoil my self a little bit. I have wanted to try to have a bath of milk and honey for quite some time. I googled for some advice on how to do it best and did everythi...

Supposedly, it takes 66 days to build a new habit. https://jamesclear.com/new-habit Since flossing is an easy way to improve dental health and I also feel it would be yet anot...

It's simply a nice gesture, especially during this cold season. Actually, it was a hot chocolate, because he preferred that. I also asked him what he wanted to eat from the bakery and bought him the desired piece.

I personally think they sounds pretty cool, but I imagine it to be quite hard to play.

It's a very popular theme park in Germany, located between Cologne and Bonn. I have wanted to go there for so long, even before I moved to that area. Still, I only managed to go there on a works outing. I was so much fun! I will definite...

It's kind of funny how I ended up here... originally I wanted to attend a 30th birthday here in Bukarest (which also was only moved there, because the original plan to celebrate on Mallorca was spoiled by an apartment scam and alcohol is...

must be soo cool, and it's good for your skin! This has been on my bucketlist forever, basically since I was a child and saw a picture of my dad in his twenties doing the same thing. So now I got to see and feel the Dead Sea myself and ...

Honestly, I don't remember how this goal got on my bucketlist. Before I went on my Israel trip, I checked my bucketlist to see which goals I could cross off on this trip (also to not forget one by accident haha). I came across this goal ...

So cool to be part of this tradition! Be aware though that there won't be any space left to stick your note in. It will most likely fall off within seconds, it's so crowded! Men and women have separate spaces and the women's space is muc...

... see Jerusalem and Bethlehem, everything. The holy land, you know? It was a great experience! Israel has so much to offer and is full of history - it is definitely not only a country for religious people.

The Lorelei is a sharp-edged cliff on the shore of the river Rhine. Many stories and fairytales have been made up about this cliff and there are even songs about a "personified" Lorelei, which supposedly leads boatmen astray so they wrec...

I happened to run into a cat café in Luxembourg City, when I visited it. I had to go in of course and had a wonderful time. It may take some time until the cats come to you and let you pet them.

Started to invest in ETFs. :)  I got a 25€ savings plan that atomatically transfers this small amount every months into an ETF portfolio and also does automatic rebalancing.   Feels good to start doing something for my retirement and f...

It's been two years now that I have been officially together with my boyfriend. We hat ups and (many) downs, but here we are, still rocking life together.

Did in Panama on the beach of the island of Taboga. The view shows Panama City in background. It was beautiful weather and just the perfect day to spend some time at the beach.

 A beautiful festival of faith, community, hospitality and international friendship. <3

Oh, wie schön ist Panama. Nuff said. ;) So to all non-German speakers: there is a very popular children's book in Germany that is called "Oh, how pretty is Panama". It does not have anything to do really with Panama, but people still as...

55 kg (~121 lbs). 2014: I'm trying this app called Noom. I lost 1 kg so far. :) I strive to achieve this for my graduation. 2018: Alright, so 4 years down the road, I finally achieved this! No, not with that app, I quickly lost track o...

I decided to use the English names, just thought it would be fairer for you guys. ;) A - Arcachon, France B - Berlin, Germany C - Cologne, Germany D - Denver, USA E - Essen, Germany F - Fès, Morocco G - Golden, USA H - Hanover, G...

I am studying Biomedicine right now and will hopefully attain my B.Sc. in summer 2017.  Well, I took some extra time after my thesis to gain more lab experience and do more internships, so eventually I finished in summer 2018! :D Proud...

We did not see all the other waterfalls. I went ahead at this one location (qutie far in the North of the Nationalpark) to check out we are at the right spot. I saw two girls at some kind of information booth but did not really care. Whe...

 They can be quite delicious, but also very dry if done wrongly. It's best eaten with ayvar and a side of bread and tomato-cucumber-salad. :D

Free camping in Croatia and Slovenia. It's supposedly not even allowed to camp on private grounds (though I wonder how they are going to check and impose that?). 

It's a very pretty and friendly country with good infrastructure. Highly underrated European country with a Mediterranean to Alpine flair. 

This gorgeous Alpine lake with milky, baby blue water is also super famous on instagram and simply a little natural wonder in the European Alps. It's located in the Dolomites in Italy and relatively easily accessible by a 2 hrs hike. Pop...

 Also named Lago di Instagram, because it's super popular on instagram. There's a reason for this though: it's simply astonishingly beautiful. <3   And may I share a secret here: I think this would be a perfect location for a propos...

We had to rush up the mountain, because we started late! Luckily, sunset is around 9 PM in the European Alps, so we still had to 2 hours for a hike that usually takes 2.5 h to make it to the top of the 3152 m high Piz Boe, highest mounta...

 Do what makes you happy and every woman is the architect of her own fortune. ;) So if you love flowers, like I do, just buy yourself some. =D

 Tasted it at my sister's house who is married to a German-Russian... wasn't really my thing. It's squishy und tastes like nothing much... a bit salty.
