Welcome to the Adventures of a Cosmopolitan Princess

Those of you who visit this site more often might have noticed that things have changed in the last two weeks. Since there were some other things in my life that changed in the last months I decided it was time to make changes here as well. From „The world of Christina“ I changed the title of my blog to „Adventures of a Cosmopolitan Princess“, which describes more accurately what this all is about.
I chose the title because it captures best what I want to write about: the things that make my life princessy and me therefore a princess and also the things that make me cosmopolitan, like the awesome places that I visit and the interesting places where I live. After two years of mostly travelling adventures and one or the other update on my life, I will also write about more concrete and more princessy (and maybe sometimes a bit trivial) things in my life. Like very special pretty things I discover and feel the need to share, nice locations I find or an exceptionally good (or bad) book that I read. Since travelling and discovering the world is still one of my favourite things to do, I will of course continue to write about that, too.

Whereas the meaning of „cosmopolitan“ is probably clear to most of my readers and how it could apply to me, there might be a need to elaborate on „princessy“, especially for those who don’t know me in person ☺. To most of my friends it is no secret that I am a little princess on the inside, manifesting itself for example through the purchasing of countless pink items. I have only recently made complete peace with the existence of that princess. For myself, I was always a little afraid to be shallow, as if pink and pretty things were the only things I cared about. Luckily I have proven to myself once and for all that this is not the case by writing a scientifically relevant thesis and getting an awesome job. Also, this new situation brings along possibilites that I didn’t have before – evenings and weekends free of thesis-writing, studying, working or AIESECing, an income to spend on princessy things and space for myself, in my apartment. I will put these new resources to good use.

Until then, take a look at the pictures of my apartment if you haven’t already done so!
