filling in the blanks friday.

1.   My favorite place I've ever traveled to is     Cardiff (although I didn't only travel but lived there) .

2.    Australia     is somewhere I'd love to go someday.

3.  I pass the time on a plane (or bus, or car ride or train) by      reading, listening to music, watching stupid movies or trying to sleep  .

4.  My three must-haves when I travel are     my iPod    ,    thick socks   and     vegan food   .

5.  My favorite travel companion is    my husband, my friends  .

6.  The craziest thing that ever happened to me while traveling is    trying to go a festival in belgium and ending up in france  .

7.  The most exotic food I've ever tried while traveling is      .

8.  If I could live anywhere else, I'd live (in)   somewhere where the summer never ends   .

9.  I have been to    1  

 

state(s) in the U.S.  My first trip to Austin, Texas was also my very first trip to the States in general. But I will try my best to change this soon and at least see 2 other states this year.

the last few days...

lunch break.

The hubster left last thursday. Since then I am alone here. It feels weird.

I mean... we have always been in a long distance relationship until October 2011, but when we were apart, I had my old life with university, my friends and my job. 

Now,being in Austin, everything is different.. I haven't had the chance yet to make many new friends, my best friend Meredith is currently in Germany and I don't have a job... and most importantly by thursday I won't have a car which really will be the biggest pain in the ass.  

So, I am sitting at home, being a housewife and taking care of the dog. 

And waiting for the next steps to take in my AOS process. If only this would go faster... 

I am thinking about stuff to do around the house, in my area without spending money. Maybe re-doing this 30day photo project I did last year on my tumblr... hmm.

Any ideas???

I was born and raised in Bochum, Germany.  

(Bochum (German pronunciation: [ˈboːxʊm]) is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, western Germany. 51°28′55″N 7°12′57″E. Population: 374,737) 

                                                     In 2007 I moved to Munich, Germany.
      (Munich  /ˈmjuːnɪk/; (German: München, pronounced [ˈmʏnçən]) is the     capital city of Bavaria, Germany. 48°8′0″N 11°34′0″E / 48.133333°N 11.566667°E. Population 1,353,186)

      
                                           I spent 2009 and 2010 in Cardiff, Wales.
(Cardiff ˈkɑrdɪf/ (Welsh: Caerdydd Welsh pronunciation: [kairˈdiːð, kaˑɨrˈdɨːð]) is the capital, largest city and most populous county of Wales and the 10th largest city in the United Kingdom. 51°29′N 3°11′W. Population 341,054)

                                      
                                        And in October 2011 I arrived in Austin, Texas. Finally.
(Austin is the capital city of the U.S. state of Texas. Located in Central Texas on the eastern edge of the American Southwest, it is the fourth-largest city in Texas and the 14th most populous city in the United States. 30°15′N 97°45′W. Population 790,390)
