Everyday Life served with a Hint of Philosophy

Places

The places I visited and what they made me think. Or feel.

  • Places

Into the groove with Paleontologists: Grube Messel

Posted on December 16, 2018

Frederik had been wanting to go to this ‘Grube Messel‘ (or ‘Messel pit‘ in English) for over a year. It did not help that he had seen a whole documentary on this pit alone. So, when a year had passed and our American friend came to visit us again, Frederik booked us the family tour […]

De Hoge Veluwe National Park

Posted on May 6, 2018May 18, 2018

When I decided to also include places on my blog, the plan was to start with Mommenheim. It only seemed fair to the little wine village where we live that is over 1250 years old. But that is exactly the problem: we live here, so we kind of have gotten used to it. I guess […]

About This Site

Have you ever dreamed about living abroad? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to start a new life in a new country? I have done it. Twice. With my husband and kids. His academic career as the only guideline. All those impressions, all those experiences, all those thoughts, about those experiences, or life in general. I serve you the good, the bad, and the ugly of my life abroad. With a hint of philosophy as my preferable coping method.

About Me

Hi, I am Annelies, a cat person, married to a dog person, Frederik, who I met during my PhD in Philosophy. He is a nuclear physicist and a great father to our two kids. Janne was one and a half when we moved from Leuven, Belgium, to Seattle, USA, in 2011. We had a great time and our son there. In 2015, we moved again, this time, to Mommenheim, Germany, a traditional wine village near the city of Mainz.
I am great at DIY's, not so great in dealing with bad news or losing board games, but who is? Really? I love crafting and writing, the first being my yoga, the latter my therapy. Unfriendly and rude people upset me, which is why I end up writing about them more than I want to.
