Ireland-Dublin Part 1

So here is the first part of my Ireland adventure! In total we went on a 8 day trip around the little green island. The first 3 days we stayed in Dublin and explored the capital. We stayed in the Temple Bar area and were able to walk to every sight that we wanted to see. I have kind a fell in love with the country. Dublin is a beautiful, quirky and fun city. I was really impressed about the irish hospitality, every single irish person that we have met was so kind and helpful. All in all it was a very pleasant stay! And I can highly recommend visiting Ireland! 


Temple Bar -The atmosphere was filled with irish people who can drink a hell lot of Guinness and stunningly talented musician in every corner

The first night we went to this indian vegetarian restaurant

In every other corner there was something medieval looking, I had a constant deja-vu of Game of Thrones

Day 2: We did most of the sightseeing on the second day because we arrived rather late on the first day, so here is a little preview:

Tübingen part 2

On Sunday we had a rather late start to the day luckily the bad weather went off very quickly and we were able to have a nice stroll around the city. I came to Tübingen with no expectation because my friend already told me that there wasn't a lot to see but counterwise I really enjoyed it! I really liked all the buildings that I saw, like the cute traditional ones in the old town or the majestic ones on top of the hills. All in all I had a really lovely weekend not only seeing where my friend lives but also enjoying her company and talking about the old times. It made me really miss those carefree days where we saw us every day.

The beautiful Neckar river!

Tübingen has a lot of these small alleyways going up and down

Wooden boats- my friend told me that in the summer time people often cruise around with these boats on the Neckar river
We went to this small italian cafe

Delicious little pastry 





Thanks again to my lovely friend and her boyfriend for welcoming me so nicely to their new home!

Tübingen part 1

Last weekend was the first time that I visited one of my best friends new home in the city of her choice-Tübingen. She has been living there for almost a year so it was about time that I visit her new home. Me and another friend arrived there on friday in the late afternoon. It was a really nice evening where we ate pizza and went clubbing. The next day we went to a city nearby called Metzingen, the city is know to be an outlet city and the weather was marvelous. 
I only did a little bit of shopping because most of the stores weren't exactly my kind of style but I can still very recommend going!

Kale Chips


So here is one of the recipes that I was talking about, a super easy healthy snack - Kale Chips. There are tons of different recipes including the super food Kale floating around the internet. And one that caught my eye was this recipe. One day I saw that my mom was growing Kale in her garden and I thought to myself it is the perfect opportunity to try and make Kale chips because it is the perfect substitute for potato chips also it is a great way to include a bit of Kale into your lifestyle. By far this has been the easiest recipe on my blog. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients: 50-75gr. of Kale, 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil, salt and paprika powder(optional) 

1. Step: wash and dry the kale thoroughly then rip it into bite size pieces and lay it on to a baking sheet. Make sure there is only one layer of kale on the sheet. After that coat and massage the olive oil to the leaves

2. Step: Bake them for 15 minutes at about 140 degrees

3. Step: The Kale Chips should look a little bit like this. Season it with salt and the paprika powder 

And there you have your quick and easy snack! Enjoy!

Tomorrow is just a day away

I know it has been a crazy long time since I last posted something on my blog and to be honest there aren't a lot of excuses- I was just lacking motivation.
So to sum up this whole month- I've been at home for more than 3 weeks now and ever since my semester break started I was busy doing all kinds of things not related to this blog. I was meeting friends ,chilling, eating and barely doing anything productive. But I managed to take a few photos of things I have been doing at home. So one of my goals of coming home was to start eating more healthier things because you can easily fall into the habit of eating bad things as a student, you are lacking of ideas what to cook and also it has to be quick so per ushe you'll gravitate to fast processed food. That was the reason for me to experiment with new recipes and to find healthy and fast dishes I could make. 


I have heard a lot of people talking about chia seeds - this is my take on the chia pudding. Very easy to make and just top it off with fruits and nuts and you have a delicious healthy breakfast

I'm planning my next trip - any guesses? 


My summer break essentials- a good book and water with mint/lemon ice cubes



I haven't been to the cinema for ages and all of the sudden I've been in two in less than a week- 22 jump street was hilarious, I saw 21 jump street back in China and it kinda brought some memories back. The other one was a french movie called 'Monsieur Claude and his daughters' - I really liked the french scenery but the plot was kinda dull


I'll promise to post a few more things these couples of days
