This week seemed extra long for some reason, but I am glad that today is Friday and the planning for the weekend is in full force – chase sun, leave town. The same goal, but different places.

In the meantime, I found a few interesting finds online which naturally I feel the need to share and a few films – worth snuggling up on the sofa with a bottle of wine and pop corn – my favorite combination and simply allow your mind to escape.

The 900 year old Freiburg Germany near the Black Forest has been on my radar forever. A destination truly worth appreciating, right down to their green initiative –
