During this week we were mainly busy with work, Franziska in Madison and Alex in New York. On Friday in New York we used our lunch break to pick up bibs for our upcoming run. We registered for a 10K run on Governor’s Island about 9 weeks ago and have been training 3-5 times per […]

Jane Summer Camp
This week marked the beginning of August – wow, four months passed already since we moved to the US. Time really flies. Franzi spent the week in Madison, Alex in New York. Alex met up with our friend Jay to work on his bike and was finally accepted into the circle by his dog George. […]
Franzi in the middle of USA’s crime spot #1
During the next week, Franzi was in St. Louis. A couple of morning runs allowed to see the city and the famous Gateway Arch in the sunrise light. It is the world’s tallest arch (630-foot, 192 m) , the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, and Missouri’s tallest accessible building. It symbolizes literally the Gateway […]
Independence Day
This week was a week without travel for a change, which we both really appreciated! In addition, it was a short week because 4th of July was around the corner. We worked from the NYC office from Monday to Wednesday and started the long weekend on Wednesday night with a hangout in Tompkins Square Park, […]

Since we were away from home, […]
Visitors from home and premier league sport
The next week started off with a successful Steering Committee on Franzi’s project (a presentation of interim project results) and a fun team dinner at a Steakhouse in Wisconsin. Alex got to spend the week in New York. He did not complain as this allowed him to attend two-wheel-Tuesday on Tuesday night. Also he could […]
Our first motorcycle adventure
The next week was not very eventful. We both flew out to Detroit and Madison again and worked on our current projects. We feel quite comfortable already around the new colleagues and it is great to see that our company culture is consistent even across oceans. Unfortunately, Thursday travel was a pain again – there […]
A normal work week garnished with picking up our motorcycles
Work week #3: Another week in Detroit for Alex, a week in Madison, Wisconsin for Franzi, which is also known as “America’s Dairyland”. Wisconsin can show off with a lot of nature and a cozy capital. Franzi had some time to enjoy the nature and city of Madison after work. There are two lakes surrounding […]
