Berlin – Amsterdam – Paris
Berlin (Shhhhhh…) If you have ever had a conversation with me, I have probably said one of the following: Why are you talking so loud? I’m right here… (while in the car together) I can hear you; you are a foot away from my face. (On the cell phone) You are talking directly into my [...]

New York (Manhattan) / The Hamptons (Sag Harbor)
New York Empire state of mind… a new perspective to the hectic over populated city when you ride a BIKE! No longer do the taxis seem annoying, unless you’re me and a woman opens a taxi door while you’re riding comfortably full force.
