After a five hour flight from Kahului to Los Angeles, I’m now up for a long wait (10 hours) here at LAX. The sun is currently coming up and I miss Maui. The last three weeks have been wonderful … full of finding a new home, meeting so many great people, coming up with ideas for the future, enjoying the beautiful weather, doing fun stuff, … looking forward to come back in May 😉
Thanks Aundrea!
Hoping to escape the arrival of the big storm here in Washington DC, I booked an earlier flight for Monday morning. As it seems it was not early enough.

It felt like going to work for my first day, when I joined Joanne for a day to experience her work as a producer in the ABC News Studio in Washington DC.

2.732 miles of driving in 21 days was the result of the journey together with Lisi, Lena and Stefan through California, Arizona and Utah. After leaving the shiny and loud (at least on the main avenues) Las Vegas behind us, we drove straight north to the magnificent Bryce Canyon, only realizing then that we will spend the next seven days roughly 2.000 meters about sea level – it got much cooler, at least over night. Then the journey took us south to Grand Canyon and Sedona from where we headed back to Los Angeles. Continue reading “Wide views”
Time is really going by fast and it is already eight month since I left Vienna last December. Travelling on my own is a great experience, however it felt good to finally hug my little sister Lisi again who came to the the U.S. west coast with Lena and Stefan. Continue reading “Reunion in L.A.”
