Istanbul
A city that has so many influences by the Roman and the Ottoman Empire who ruled over it, when it still was called Constantinople. You see it in the city`s landscape. The city has a pull I rarely experienced in any city. The nightlife, the wide waters, the constant walking up hills, the beautiful people and old buildings.
I wanna go back.
Cairo
Order within chaos.
One of my biggest dreams was to see the pyramids, the last of the seven ancient wonders of the world that is still standing.
So we went. And we went into the desert and slept under the stars.
Refugee camps in Moldavia, for Bündnis, Entwicklung hilft
What stays is a feeling. A feeling that we don’t do enough and they don’t have enough.
After a day of exploring refugee camps, the boarder to Ukraine, talking to refugees and visiting warehouses and other facilities, I am nothing but impressed. Impressed by the women who mostly run the facilities and camps. Impressed by the energy, impressed by the welcoming kindness in a time of need and a war going on a couple of kilometres away. The poorest country in Europe lets pass 450.000 refugees. Thats 20% of the whole Moldovian population. The Republic of Moldova impressed me.
BlackLivesMatter
A stand against institutionalized racism.
10.000 people demonstrating in Cologne, Germany in June 2020.
