Adieu les Alpes
A few days ago marked the end of our long chapter in the French Alps for Johana and I. Honestly, I’m quite relieved to be moving on. As I wrote in Meditations, this experience proved to be quite different than I may have expected going in. There was all the opportunity in the world for…
Washington D.C. — World Culture Festival, 2023
By the time I arrived in Washington D.C. for the World Culture Festival of 2023, I was no longer entirely myself. This chapter belongs as an extension of my New York Chapter, because it came from the same unraveling. There was a stretch of several weeks during which my mental health had deteriorated so badly…
Meditations
It’s been quite some time since I’ve last written. The season is almost over here. We’ve met some great people and shared some wonderful memories together, and it has definitely been another noteworthy step in Johana’s and my journey together. However, this chapter in my life has been a bit different than I maybe expected…
Temps De Ski
So it’s been 2 weeks here now living in French Alps. The ski season is just about upon us here, and honestly we’re loving every second of our time here this far. The team were an apart of here only comes close to the magic we had while working in Germany. Today we were all…
Feelin’ Venice
Continuing from Johana and my story in Spain, on the 8th of this month, we flew into Venice, Italy. We booked a beautiful Airbnb and planned to do nothing more than enjoy the city while we prepared for the next step in our journey. We could have chosen to go anywhere in the world when…
Expect the Unexpected
So, our plans for Spain didn’t exactly go as we had imagined. We spent a few weeks working at the place we had planned to be at for quite some time ahead. It quickly became clear the price that would be asked of us if we stayed. So we all sat down and agreed that…
Spanish Paradise
After having spent the entire summer at the Castle—not particularly happy and itching for so much more—these last 72 hours couldn’t have been more of a pleasure. My gut and heart tell me we’ve found a real gem here: Spanish Paradise… We left the Castle on a good note. We said farewell to our friends…
Tschüss Castle
Today officially marks the end of our summer contract here at the castle. In three days, we have a flight from Vienna to Barcelona, where Johana and I will be starting a new chapter in Costa Brava, in the northeast of Spain. We cannot wait to see what this new chapter will bring! It’s been…
The New York Chapter
The New York Chapter Without a doubt, this was the hardest and most soul-crushing period of my life. It was heartbreak, poverty, insanity, and desperation that played a key role in forging who I am today. Despite how grim it all was, I’m glad I went through it. As Nietzsche said: “That which does not…
The Lost Chapters
I recently felt inspired to sit down and write about some of my stories that I haven’t shared before. When I started the blog, I covered a lot of ground writing about both summertime and wintertime. But I want to focus on the latter for this one, because without a doubt, it was the most…
