About the origin of this blog

I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while, but always felt that I don't have enough time and would start it at some later point. The basis for this is that I love sharing things I am passionate about, and at the same time I'm getting many requests for recommendations, these days more than ever. With the current situation caused by the coronavirus, there is no excuse anymore. So besides working from home, trying to do all kinds of useful and helpful things and staying healthy and sane, I still have some time to actually start this project.

 

I'm generally assembling lists of 10 recommendations for a specific topic; in between, I'm adding various smaller tips consisting of just a single book / film / song / place / poem / writer / director etc. This is solely done for entertainment purposes (both of the writer and readers of this blog), but as we all know - especially in such a strange time - sharing art and beautiful creations can bring joy, solace and occupation. You can find the complete list of all Lists of 10 Recommendations and Single Tips in the menu. If you're only interested in one topic, for example Travel or Films, you can find the direct link to all related posts  in the menu as well. 

About Viola

 

Hi, I'm Viola. I'm a Swiss national, living in Zurich.

 

Having studied English language and literature at various universities, and having lived in South Africa, England and Scotland, I'm an anglophile when it comes to culture. As a lover of books and films, this is a big part of my life. I work as a teacher and love sharing my passions.

 

Besides the language, literature and culture of English-speaking areas, I also love travelling, nature and puppies. And hoarding things such as vases, candles and postcards, my husband would add - yes, I like to collect beautiful things.

 

Welcome to my world and my view!

Get in touch.

Glad to get any feedback as well as wishes for further lists or recommendations.
