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

I skipped yesterday because it was Sunday and Sunday is god’s day. jkjk It’s because I was lazy. This week’s time is 11.37.
3 Mai 2010; 11.37: I went on a mad hunt for a rain jacket today, and came up unsuccessful. But, there was a glorious set up for the Paul Smith bags I’ve been lusting over at Alsterhaus (think: Nordstrom). I was also able to snag myself a dress that I wanted to get months ago in America, but it was $45 which just seems a bit much for H&M. But, today, I saw one. Just one. On sale. 15€. My size. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Challenge of the Day: Less a challenge and more a White Whine - The Urban Outfitters here is horrible. It’s about 1/8th the size of any other Urban I’ve been in, and 1/2 of it is their “designer” schieße, which is just Fred Perry sweaters for 250€. Yeah, okay, Urban. That’s going to happen never. The deciding factor which brought me to Hamburg was that it had an Urban, and it turns out to be a massive disappointment for my heart - but not for my wallet. My wallet’s actually pretty stoked that I couldn’t find anything I liked.
German Word of the Day: brauchen - to need, not to be confused with möchte - to want.
