Dear all, I don't know how you see it, but for me, living in the city has many advantages, but also a few disadvantages that can't be dismissed out of hand:

• IF you can sleep in, you will be woken up in the morning in any case and 100% by something totally annoying: emptying of the glass containers at 08:00 a.m.00 o'clock, a neighbor cleans her tiles in the courtyard with a metal spar, a truck stops in front of the window and lets the engine run for a relaxed 45 minutes, the fire department, the police, and then the fire department again race past the window with their sirens blaring, or a leftover drunk pukes on the street below and then starts crying. What I want to say: It is always loud.
• If you are on foot or by bike, you constantly have the need to google for a breathing mask. Passing trucks wrap you in black haze clouds and when you can finally escape the main road, your clothes and hair continue to exhale this disgusting city fume for hours. Weather apps even warn about: bad air quality and there is no escape. No filter, no mask protects you from the stress on the streets. The air in cities is simply catastrophic.
• If I want to go for a walk of 20 km that means 50 streets to cross, 30 near deaths by bike or car accidents, 10 people bumping into me, dog shit I have to avoid and a neat view of houses where one is uglier than the other. It is just always crowded. Full of people, with buildings, with everything.

Before you ask yourself now why I live in a big city – we'll do that again on the topic when else. Now it's about tactics, how to avoid these factors on the holy weekend. My solution is very simple: escape to the countryside. Since my Instakanal now looks like I live in the countryside, people keep asking me: where are you then so? Tadaaaa so this post is born and I like to share with you my experience around the topic of excursions and weekend trips around Dusseldorf. Whether hiking or spa, Dusseldorf is quite well located and you have several options. From day trips to weekend trips. For local recreation there are generally three large areas available to you. read more

Those who work long hours need a balance to the mentally demanding activities on the job. Without this, the probability of soon suffering from stress symptoms such as headaches, back pain, aching limbs or poor concentration is significantly increased. Also a burn-out syndrome is possible faster.

As I told you some time ago, the potato specialist Burgi's invited me to the blogger dumpling event in Munich. When Mr. Wallygusto told this to my mother-in-law, she was immediately aware of the company Burgi's. I must confess, however, that my (few) points of contact with ready-to-eat potato products have so far been rather limited to another well-known brand. Their old factory in Munich is meanwhile a well-known party area. 🙂 read more

A trip to Mallorca in winter? What to do there? Many vacationers ask themselves this question. Most of them shy away from too cool temperatures and think that the Spanish island is only worthwhile for a beach vacation. Wrong thought. Why the Balearic island is also in the colder season an absolutely worthwhile destination, you will learn here. read more

At Sinzig on the Rhine, the Ahr flows into the Rhine. The Sinziger district "Bad Bodendorf" is for motorhome – travelers a popular address at the Ahr, in Rhine – near.
