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

5 Mai 2010; 11.37: The day began with a trip to Hamburg’s art museum. I’m a sucker for museums, frequenting the Met and Natural History regularly. Kunsthalle Hamburg currently has the Pop Life exhibit that I missed at the Tate Modern last year - complete with Koonz, Warhol, Hirst, etc. Also there was this dead horse with the acronym “INRI” stuck in it by Maurizio Cattelan. I suppose you can say this is beating a dead pretentious horse, but I for one eat up self-indulgent contemporary art. I suppose that puts me in the arrogant pretension category, but that’s news to no one. 
Challenge of the Day: Not spending any more money on these FIFA stickers. I failed today’s challenge.
German Word of the Day: Self-righteous - selbstgerecht.
