This year was not about big hikes but filled with countless walks in the surroundings of my new place of living. Mainly, in search of nature, forests, rivers and viewpoints, I discovered many places and found some peaceful spots. Rivers: Regularly upstream and downstream river Aare and along the river Sense. Trees and forests: FromContinue reading “Walking to forests and viewpoints”

My home
After about 4 years of “modern-nomadic-lifestyle” moving from one place to the next with just a few things in my backpack, I appreciate now having again a place that I call “my home”. What makes it my home? It’s the presence of things that mean something to me or that I simply like and thatContinue reading “My home”
Discovering Bern
Moving to a new place always offers so much to discover. This year was full of moments of wondering around in the streets, parks and surroundings of Bern. Bern is charming. Many beautiful romantic nature spots such as the botanical garden, Elfenau/park cafe, Zehendermätteli, Gurten, Rosengarten, Münsterplattform, kleine Schanze, to name just a few fromContinue reading “Discovering Bern”
4 seasons
The forth season of the year has just started. While suddenly the landscape turns all white, I take a moment, retreat and remember the other seasons throughout this year. I like the seasons, to live and feel the special vibe of each season. The first snow has already given me moments of marvelling and playingContinue reading “4 seasons”
Building bridges
This year was much about bridges. For example, building bridges: For a good cooperation, Between cultures, Between organizations, Between people. And, I am crossing bridges, everyday, as part of my new place of living and working. The moment in the morning when I walk over the bridge inspires me to connect and build bridges duringContinue reading “Building bridges”
From the heart
When you go for walks, have you ever paid attention to what you meet and see on the way? And, paid attention to how it makes you feel or what it reminds you about? It is actually quite fun to scribble down the discoveries after every walk. This year, for example, I came across manyContinue reading “From the heart”

It is an interesting place with not only a violent history not so long ago, current social challenges due to high migration rates but also a region with wonderful people, great food and a destination for travellers who likeContinue reading “4 new destinations”
Encouragement
Last week, spontaneously, it came to my mind that I have received encouragement from many women along my life journey. What a beautiful gift! It started with sports when I was a small girl and also in teenage-times. Later, as part of my professional career, after my apprenticeship and during many further steps up toContinue reading “Encouragement”
Good luck!
In 2017, I was very lucky – I found a beautiful new place to live, a nice office and a lovely team, a new role in a new professional challenge. I was also lucky during my travels (>2 months this year) – due to an almost slight crash which delayed us on our way toContinue reading “Good luck!”
Solidarity
Four years ago, I spent an unforgettable time in Capanna Soveltra and a beautiful friendships still accompany me since then, although I didn’t make it back there for quite some time now. Always in my heart, I was shocked this autumn to hear that this wonderful mountain hut took fire. The Capanna Soveltra team wasContinue reading “Solidarity”
