Everyone I’ve talked to were always a bit challenged when I asked if they liked it, and all replies started with “well…”.
In addition, I’ve had my troubles with software developers from India. They usually quite good, but because of very big cultural differences, I’ve personally never had any successful projects. This probably says more about me than Indian software developer, but it’s clear, there is a pretty huge cultural difference.
However, I’ve had Taj Mahal – one of the new “7 world wonders” on my bucket list for a while and ignoring such a large country seemed wrong to me. With more than a billion people, and growing towards the most populous country – it was time for a visit!
I’ve been following Bitcoin since 2013, and oh boy, it has been a ride. Some months it has been crazy interesting, but most months it has been slow and boring.
Fast-forward to the last couple of months, the media has been in a frenzy. As an early Bitcoin enthusiast, this has been exciting, but admittedly also a quite sad experience. Everyone is talking about making a quick buck by investing, and even the smart people who understand the technology often throws around vague statements that blockchain will change the world but never really are able to say more than this.
For the last 3 months, I’ve been working in Betahaus in Berlin. Betahaus is one of the oldest (if not the oldest?) co-working space in Berlin and is one of the options most people suggest when you ask for co-working suggestions in the city.
In this post, I will give a review of the co-working space. I will share my thoughts, what I really liked and what I did not like so much.
When some newbie decides to jump into the amazing new world of digital nomadism – their Instagram and Facebook fill up with amazing pictures.
They see temples in Chiang Mai, they take selfies at the beaches of Bali and post awesome food pictures from the local food markets in Singapore. This all looks amazing, and trust me, IT IS. Digital nomadism is an amazing trend, one I really hope and believe will spread more.
After a rough spring and summer with my startup (post coming), I found myself having a weight of 87kg. I’m 180cm tall, so this is not “very fat” or “obese”, but enough to definitely categorize me as “overweight”.
I *hate* being overweight, so I decided to fix the problem. I had previously run a couple of half marathons, but nothing more than that. To solve my overweight problem, I signed up for Copenhagen Half Marathon in September followed up by a half marathon in Muggelsee, Berlin. Since this has developed into a more ambitious goal of running Pisa Marathon in December 2017.
The overweight has partly been solved. I’m 81kg and still need to lose 3-4 kg more, but it’s not downright embarrassing anymore – just not good looking. However, the reason for this post is to share some very interesting realizations I’ve made from preparing for a marathon – running 42km in less than 6.5 hours (and hopefully less than 5h!).
