a bit of nature...

 

Amager Fælled

 

Just a couple of pictures that I took this week during a walk through Amagerfælledparken. I already wrote about missing some nature living in the centre of Copenhagen, so therefore Amagerfælled is a little nice spot for me personally here in Copenhagen. Although I do not like the fact that you still can see all the tall buildings from Ørested etc. and hear the traffic noise. But it is a nice park for a Sunday afternoon walk.

 

gallery opening - Marius Budu

Last week, my friend Catalin invited me to a gallery opening event where he was taking pictures.
So I went to Galleri Krebsen situated in Studiestræde with one of my friends and we really liked the photographies by Marius Budu.
It was a lovely opening with a stunning performance by the handstand contortionist Julia Schmidt which was accompanied by Moa Karlsson on the cello (music written by William Smith who was there as well).
I was truely fascinated by Julia Schmidt. It is amazing how she can bend her body in every direction and express so much through that. Before I saw her, I had never really heard of contortionism but it is interesting art.

Catalin gave me some of the pictures he took, so I can use them for this post ... thank you very much, Catalin :-)

People who inspire me ... (part 1)

Feist

I decided to start this "people who inspire me..." series and the first person I want to praise is the singer-songwriter Leslie Feist, known as Feist to her fans :-)

 

I had known her for some time but I really discovered her only recently when I bought her latest album "metals" and fell in love with it. That was when I suddenly understood her music and her style. That was definitely a great moment for me. It is hard to describe but you simply need to listen to her music, preferably sitting on your window sill with a nice cup of tea and rainy weather outside.

a healthier life

As you get older, you start to think more about life and the way you live it.

I am 25 years old now and I know that there is still a lot that I want to do and discover. Living in the centre of Copenhagen, I have felt a bit stressed out lately and missed a quiet life and nature.

So sometimes I dream of living a quiet life in the country where I am surrounded by nature. Preferably in Bavaria where I come from. Here is a lovely picture of the Bavarian countryside:

 

 

On the other hand, though, I should be grateful for my present life here in Copenhagen with all my lovely friends, exciting spare time and new adventures.

 

 

Right now, I am somewhere in my life where I am still trying to figure out who I am exactly and that is an interesting stage and journey.

 

One thing that I would like to change in my life is that I am healthier in general. I often suffer from tonsillitis, colds, tiredness and so on. I feel as if I could have a healthier, more balanced life and that is why I have started to read more about natural medicine, medicinal herbs and healthy lifestyles.

 

Today I want to share this website that I came across and that I really like.

I hope some of you like it as well and find it inspirational to think about a healthier life.

 

I guess that if you are from the country and live in a city, you miss the quiet country life and you long for it. I am interested in your opinions. Please share and write me :)
