Since the beginning of November, every email, every social media advert, every shop window has been like the Big Bad Wolf, lurking behind a bush and whispering in my ear, “Would you like to buy this?” … “Go on, you know you want to.” … “It’s cheap, so cheap!” But…

Passing the Hat While the Planet Burns
Oil and gas are a “gift of God.” That’s what Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev told world leaders in his opening speech at COP29 in Baku two weeks ago. It was quite an unconventional opening speech, especially considering why people from all around the world had gathered there. Then he continued:…

A Year’s Worth of Rain In One Day
Last October, I was in Valencia to run the Valencia Half Marathon, enjoying the lively vibe of the city. Fast forward to this year, and it’s heart-wrenching to see those shocking images from Valencia. Cars stacked in the streets. Buildings flooded. People wading through rising waters. Europe is now facing…
Fossil Fuels: The Weapon of Mass Destruction
This summer was the hottest on record (surprise, surprise), and after a year where global temperatures finally exceeded 1.5°C, the need for faster and more effective climate action couldn’t be clearer.

Food Systems and Climate Change
A Vicious Cycle Have you ever thought about the journey that a single carrot in your hand has taken, from the farm all the way to your plate? How was it grown? What processes did it go through? How was it transported? And how did it end up on the…

My Better Version
I don’t want to be the best version of myself. There, I said it. This might as well be the end of this blog post. But no, I want to ramble on and bore you to death. How do you define being the best? You can measure the tallest person…

Do Not Disturb. I’m In My Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber
They said age is just a number. “You are only as old as you feel,” they said. But age and ageing are not the same thing. Yes, age is just a number and is often subjective. But ageing, on the other hand, is an observable process. And oh boy, we…

Under the Linden’s Spell
It is that time of the year. The streets of Berlin are filled with the sweet scent coming from linden trees. You can’t help feeling that melancholy, the kind of melancholy that only exists in Berlin. Its sweet scent settles on your body, penetrates deep into you, and immortalises itself…
Where Are You?
Once upon a time, in the lush forests of New Zealand, there lived a beautiful bird called the huia. This bird is now extinct. A couple of weeks ago, a single huia tail feather was sold at an auction for an astonishing NZD$46,521 (US$28,365), making it the most expensive feather…

Tell Me What You Eat and I Will Tell You – Oh Hold On! We Don’t Have That Anymore
Imagine one day you go to the supermarket to do some shopping. You start pushing the trolley and mentally go over your shopping list. You begin placing items in your trolley, a mix of the usual essentials, the must-haves, and a few indulgences with a cheerful ‘go on, treat yourself,…

Tiergarten: Inclusive, Beautiful and Messy
I went for a run in Tiergarten this morning. I don’t know if it was the endorphins my body released due to running or the beautiful linden, oak, and chestnut trees – but by the end of it, I was feeling something more than a runner’s high. Tiergarten is more…

Eternal Connection Between People and Nature
