From Eastern Germany to the East Coast of New Zealand
This is my first blog, so I thought I tell you a little about me. As many of you know, I grew up in the former East Germany, in Jena. The area is called Thuringia (also known as The Green Heart of Germany). From a child’s point of view, growing up in East Germany was [...]
