Polaroid of the Week

I just finished my week-long road trip around Iceland and am still in awe about the diverse landscape I encountered in this spectacularly beautiful country!

My last Polaroid from Seattle is coming to you from Seward Park, one of my favorite parks in the city, which was one of my favorite running routes.

On 2 November or Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), there are big kite festivals all over Guatemala. We were lucky to take part in a kite festival in Chichicastenango where the kids are kite crazy.

Cuenca is a beautiful colonial city in Ecuador, with gorgeous churches and colonial buildings. The perfect place to relax for a few days!

For the first time in seven years, I spent Christmas with my family in Germany and I had a blast experiencing German Christmas markets, baking cookies and having some quality family time!

My last few days in Germany were spent with family and friends and with a short visit to Berlin – and I couldn’t leave Europe without one last proper German breakfast, of course!

My highlight of the week was Germany taking the crown – winning the soccer world cup for the fourth time! I celebrated with friends in Brooklyn.

As my time here in New York is coming to an end, I have been busy exploring parts of the city I haven’t been to yet – one of them is the Bronx, which I finally visited (twice!).
