Our second week of vacation started. On Monday we had to get from Barntrup, Germany to St. Gallen, Switzerland. We took a train to Hannover airport, flew to Zurich and took a train to St. Gallen. Luckily, everything was on time and we had some time to relax and get ready for the special day […]
Long Labor Day Weekend
Finally, our travel schedules aligned and we both got to spend a week in New York. In case you read our blog on a regular basis you will know that this is really rare and exciting for us. Finally, some quality time and a “normal life” during the week. Monday night, Franzi went out for […]
A lucky coincidence at the West Coast
Another week of our travel schedules not tying up. For a change Franzi stayed in New York this time and Alex was the one travelling. He had to go to Santa Clara, California. The lucky coincidence: Alex dad Wolfgang is currently doing a three-month motorcycle trip through Alaska, Canada and the US and he just […]
Team event in Utah and visitor from home
Approaching mid-August already, Franzi spend another week in Madison and Alex worked based out of New York. After flying out to Madison Monday evening and working throughout the week, Franzi’s project team had a team meeting in Utah. Thus, she flew out to Utah Thursday early morning and enjoyed a bit of Utah sun while […]
Accomplishing goals – 10k run
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. […]
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, […]
Alex 31st Birthday
The next week Franzi was in New York and Alex was in Detroit. It seems our travel schedules are perfectly synced so that we never spend a week at home together 😉 During the week, besides working Franzi ensured to organize everything for Alex’s birthday coming up on Saturday. Since we were away from home, […]
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 […]
Not quite as envisioned but still a great (long) Memorial Day weekend
The weekend of May 25th was a long one – it’s Memorial Day on the 27th so we got an extra day off, yei! It is not too difficult to guess what our plan for the long weekend was – get on the bikes and ride somewhere upstate New York to enjoy some nature. In […]
