it’s a wrap – 2013 in instagram pictures

2013 bannerabcde
Well that was 2013 then. A lot has happened for me this year and I think it was definitely one of the most eventful years this far.
  • I packed my bags, moved out of my flat, said goodbye to dear friends and my home for 4 years – LONDON.
  • Arriving in CHINA was a culture shock as well as a climatic one – freezing and polluted, snow until March.
  • Guess what; nobody speaks English. Getting around is difficult but not impossible. New friends make the whole experience more fun and less overwhelming.
  • Spring is coming! Yay! And 25 degrees in April.
  • It’s my birthday! Far away from home but in best company.
  • Many great gatherings in parks, festivals (GREAT WALL MUSIC FESTIVAL with David Guetta ehem), lakes and whenever the pollution lets us.
  • My first trip outside Beijing – SHANGHAI!
  • New family member: HAZEL <3
  • One week SOUTH KOREA! Loved Seoul and all the people I met along the way.
  • Saying goodbye to one of my dearest friends too early…
  • Trying to bear the heat – Paintball in 35 degrees wasn’t our brightest idea…
  • Another new family member in our flat: Cookie!
  • Holidays at home - visiting my sister in beautiful VIENNA for Oktoberfest.
  • Can’t get enough – mini Oktoberfest in Beijing!
  • Had heaps of fun dressing up for a 20ies style party at Suzie Wong (PICTURES SOON!)
  • Blogger meet ups in the capital.
  • Found a new job at my dream company.
  • Had an incredible HALLOWEEN 2013 – dressing up as Lady Gaga and Cat woman.
  • Business trip to CHENGDU and holidays in HONG KONG.
  • Very thankful for the many great FRIENDS I made in China.
  • Flying back to Germany for the Holidays. Lovely Christmas with my family and my favorite gift: A Fujifilm Instax Mini! :)
How was your 2013? Did you reach all your goals that you set yourself in 2012?
I hope your 2013 was fantastic and that 2014 may be even better!
Happy new year!

  4. Your photos look amazing, China is one of those places I would love to visit, I am not surprised you found it a little bit of a shock, a few friends who have travelled they have been surprised.
