PhD linguist, serial migrant and curious mind ✨ Currently docked in Andalucía 🍋

I doodle big-headed cartoons in my spare time and toot mostly in EN, ES and DE about languages, cross-cultural mishaps, life abroad and whatever keeps me awake at night. 💭

This is an inclusive space.
Make yourself at home! ☕️

Sorry, I can't.
I have p(aw)lans this weekend. 🥰

A hand held open with fingers spread, resting on a gray couch, with a small white curly-haired dog’s paw placed in the center of the palm.

Snow-capped Mount Fuji seen through a frame of vibrant red and green autumn leaves, with a lake and small town visible at the mountain’s base under a cloudy sky.

This might be the first #summer ever that I'm not taking any time off or going anywhere*, and it's dawning on me that #vacation and #travel is the only topic people can talk about this time of year.

The dentist: Where are you going on vacation?

The neighbors: When are you going on vacation?

The colleagues: What are your plans for the summer vacation?

At what point did we start assuming that everyone is able or willing to participate in these capitalistic estival activities?
