Time flies bye so quickly! I took this picture three years ago in Austin, Texas. My prior company sent me there for a project and I was super surprised by how cool this city is! Bars with live music, people walking in the streets (except NY not very common in the US), turtles swimming in the river, super healthy Mexican food and BBQ places spread all over town. Austin’s claim is: Stay weird! My claim on that very day was: Why not?! And so I bought the hat and carried it all the way back to Germany as hand-luggage (which meant 3 flights). What you don’t see: how big this hat really is and how complicated it was to find suitable spaces in the cabin. Today the hat is a much beloved and treasured memory of a very special time I enjoyed in the US over a couple of months. What I am really aiming at here: do what you love, trust your gut feelings - no matter how weird someone from the outside might think it is. The road might sometimes be rocky, but it’s worth all the experiences and memories you make along!
