Kid-friendly Hike near Munich: from Schliersee to Schliersbergalm
In 2019 we were new to Munich and young twin parents, yet trying to enjoy Munich’s surrounding nature. Our first hike was up to Schliersbergalm. Although Schliersee is so close (easily reachable by train, about 35Minutes by car from Munich), it is a different world: scenic views, Bavarian food, kid-friendly Alm with a playground. Over…

A special second birthday in the mountains
We celebrated the girls’ second birthday weekend by hiking up to and staying at Brunnsteinhütte in the Karwendel region. I recommend this if you do not feel like cakes, presents and all the birthday preparations – but instead simply enjoying nature, family time and the simplicity of a DAV-hut. Brunnsteinhütte – a sustainable and family-friendly…

Solo road trip from San Diego to LA
Let’s face it: in our daily lives time is mostly directed by others. So much so that I find it hard to listen to my body and remain mindful. A solo trip that let’s me go about days in my own rhythm is my source of reconnecting with myself. With no plans, a pair of…

India
I have been writing so much for work that my private headlines are not really the most creative. But this one sums it up pretty well. Pouya, me, India. Naturally, the minute I told my body I am going on vacation it went into sick-mode, not only do I have cold, but also a nasty…

Varanasi – India’s spiritual capital
Banares, as Indians call it, or Varanasi is a city that lies directly at the Ganges river, a holy city for pilgrims. We’ve spent a day here, walking through the tiny streets, watching an Arti prayer and – as always – enjoying food. I have seen more cows than ever, and Varanasi is home…

Sangeet – an Indian wedding dance party
I have learned in my short time here that there really isn’t one India. Different regions, different cultures, different wedding traditions. Saturday night, Abishek & Jessica’s wedding kicked off with an event called Sangeet…here is a summary: The invitation said 6.30pm. Indian style, that means: Do not expect the event to kick off before 8.30…

New Delhi
I am sitting in a train from New Delhi to Allhabad with 6 other Fletchies who arrived from Pretoria, Kigali, Singapore and Lubiljana. Time difference between Boston & Delhi is 11.5hours, day & night reversed. And it does mess with my body. A lot! Last night we had a Fletcher meetup in Delhi, it was…

Time for an Indian wedding adventure
“If you two get married in India and I don’t get invited, I will be pretty pissed.” I still hear myself saying these words at a Thai restaurant in downtown Boston. By the smirks on the faces of the couple sitting on the other side of the table I should have understood that it was…
