I hope that all of you had a good start into the new year. I am writing this post a few days earlier, because I hope, that by now I am celebrating with my husband and friends in Osaka. I am not only looking very much forward to our visit in Osaka, but also to…
First of all: I wish you a merry Christmas!! I hope you have lovely days with your family and loved ones. After my visit in Mainz and Frankfurt and our awesome Ü30 party experience, I made my way to Mannheim. In Mannheim I met with a lovely lady I only knew through facebook and whom…
