This summer, we did not go anywhere for various good reasons. I enjoy Balkonien right now, especially in the evenings.

For some, Balkonien is a so-called euphemism for staying at home during the summer. Yes, I’m fortunate to have the chance to stay here (see photo). I do not want the frenzy of crowded airports, delayed flights, days of preparation, and much more. I do enjoy traveling, but not when everyone else does. At least, not now.
