Loving the UK

Hello mates!

I have had a lovely quick trip from Leipzig-Paris-London Oct 17-19th and now I am enjoying London a bit! I have to say this is the most "at home" I have felt in a while. 

Sometimes on the road we get a little lonely and that is normal. I guess it is just nice to have some reminders of what life at home is like. My two favourite things that remind me of home: Netflix!! and I can use my visa everywhere.

I know what you are probably thinking is "If you are in London, why are you on Netflix?" but when you are prepping for auditions, its not ideal to be out until all hours, so last night I came home and enjoyed a good romantic comedy!

I will also take a trip up to Edinburgh for a couple of days! I figure, if I am here, why not go all out :D

I love Europe!

Berlin is the beginning!

Guten Morgen!

Ich bin in Berlin da Gestern und ich habe Lust! Ich liebe Berlin. Es ist eine schöne Stadt!

October is the beginning of a bunch of great auditions. My first starting on October 4th for the Komische Oper. Here in Berlin I know coaches and pianists and I look forward to getting some lessons in the meantime.

On another note I have been fighting off a cold for a while now and went to the doctor yesterday. I am on antibiotics, but I am on the road to recovery. It happens often when we are switching cities all the time, living out of a suitcase and staying in different beds and environments.

Did I ever update that in Brussels our hostel caught on fire? I went for the weekend to meet a friend, and we stayed in this hostel very close to the Main Square in Brussels. It was very convenient until 6:30am we were woken up to police yelling "Il y a feu!!" I pulled open my curtains and saw the fire on the scaffolding on the outside of the building. My Fight or Flight instinct kicked in and I bolted! We were all outside in our pjs and some had more on than others. Needless to say I didn't get anymore sleep that night. Who knows, I could have caught the cold from that point. Oh well, it is a good story none-the-less!

Prost!
