    Yes KITA* – THE BIG KITA MATH

    *please don’t bring your kid to the KITA if you have no “super special job”… this means that Zsófi and me we are doing home office with Samuel who is 2.5 years old – which means that he needs 24/7 attention more or less. She works 70% and me 60% – one of us always has to…

    Offline social life – The importance of community and public spaces – what have we learned during the corona virus?

    The lockdowns all around the world make us realise the importance of community and public life and spaces. Without coming together, our life is way more difficult. We are all closed into our homes and super narrow social bubbles. Even if we can have online “social life”, we cannot meet and have offline exchange with…

    Celebration time, not everyday is Saturday! – My learnings in life #002

    “You have to celebrate when it’s celebration time!” said once my brother. It makes a lot of sense, but it is also super difficult to make it real.

    PERFECT WEATHER for doing research and writing an article about “Identity & Space”! = Family time!

    I love my life & work balance! 😀 “We are not missionaries but when something here works, such as, for example, the integration of refugees, disabled or elderly persons then this could surely be adopted as an example of how it could function at a larger scale.

  • Always be positive!

    Always be positive!

    NOTHING – there is no such a thing like nothing, or maybe there is. Even nothing has two sides. You know what I mean? On one side, there are people who believe that there is such thing like nothing and on the other side, there are people who believe that there is no such a…
