Umzug: Moving out in German.
The house is now almost empty. I can't believe the amount of STUFF that I have collected in the last couple of years. Between, selling, throwing away and packing, the STUFF is now reduced to a minimum. A minimum is really what I can fit in my Smart ForTwo anyway. The road trip to Lisbon is getting closer and closer.
Here is my current itinerary: Paris, Montpellier, Bilbao, Lisbon.
These are all great things for the future but what about last week ?
Well, last week was the World Information Architecture Day or WIAD 2017 event.
I have been in touch with Amy Espinosa, the Global Executive Producer of the event and I could help translating the video to different languages.
Check out the WIAD2017 video with Richard Saul Wurman:
The WIAD event is a global event happening in 65 locations around the globe on the 18th of February. I decided to attend in Zurich.
It was my first time in Switzerland so I planned my trip around the event so I could visit the city before and after! It is a lovely city, a little bit expensive but still definitely worth it!
I had the chance to visit the Restaurant Les Halles which I really recommend. The Cabaret Voltaire, where the Dada movement was born. For a beer in a trendy relaxed bar I recommend El Lokal.
My Airbnb host took me to this bar and it was great.
The decoration is eye catching, the staff is friendly and the food also looked great!
The WIAD event was good. Everything went as planned. I helped a bit with coffee breaks and setting up the lunch tables and in exchange I could attend the celebration for free. Some talks were interesting, others not that much, but overall really nice experience. I managed to network a little bit and got some valuable information that might become useful once the course is over.
Right! What about the course? This blog is supposed to be about the course but not much happening lately.
With all this moving out thing I am not really focused. I am planning to really concentrate on it again once in Portugal beginning of next week!
So I am leaving Germany on the 23rd. The next time I will be writing, I will be in Portugal!
See you then! Take care :)
