Here it is – a new breeze in my life. From rainy Basel to sunny and warm New York. Leaving is at the same time a coming home and always feels so good to change perspective.

Finally a more versatile week in terms of weather and a week that feels more like October than the previous ones. Also, a week of preparation and a week in which I realized how beneficial little escapes from the daily grind can be.

Another unexciting week that has come and gone without leaving much of a trace. With everything else that’s going on in the world right now, I have to admit that it’s not the worst thing if everything is still the same at the end of the week as it was at the beginning.

After two jam-packed weeks with many tasks that I could mark as done (and more tasks that were added), I started this week with a hike in the Bernese Oberland.
