About

The travel journal for C. London.

Just your normal twenty-something New Yorker who leads a somewhat nomadic existence. These are the tales of my adventures.

I have left my glamourous life of working with the rich and famous behind to play slave to three German boys as an au pair in Hamburg.

Every day at 21.07 CET I take a photo. No matter where I am, no matter what I'm doing. I then post that photo along with an anecdote, challenge, and learnt German word of the day.

How it all began
Beginning of my newest adventure

25 April 2010; 21.07: Dinner and Doctor Who. Is there any better combination? Maybe dinner, Doctor Who, and debauchery. In Germany dinner consists of bread with assorted cheeses and meats. Tonight I decided to go a little ~crazy~ and have a sandwich. GASP!SHOCK!HORROR! I will say I’m a bit uncomfortable with the idea of eating so many carbs so late at night, but I don’t have the heart to not eat what the family eats, and also I cannot cook. I think if I were in charge of dinner, every night would be Thai take-out, which I’m not even sure exists here.
Challenge of the Day: Nothing challenging on this gorgeous Hamburg day. I was a bit tired after walking around the entire Alster, but that’s just me being fat and lazy. Welp, tomorrow’s another day and another chance for hardship. (This is what we call optimism, kids.)
German Word of the Day: Eis - ice cream. Which Germans eat all day everyday despite inclimate weather.
