Today marks one year since we relocated to Germany! I can't believe how time flies. Here's my list of what we love most about our new life here: Proximity to nature (this photo is taken 5 minute walk from our house) Peace of mind with the kids roaming the neighborhood daily Social support for families (Kindergeld, affordable childcare) Bike paths and walkability Accessibility to rest of Europe for travel, and more time to travel So much less time spent driving daily (we're a one car family now), and when we do it's way less stressful Fewer things we "need to do", slower pace of life Better recycling, less waste, less consumerism and advertising Better quality affordable food overall (from bakeries to fresh dairy to produce) Not seeing news headlines that induce anxiety and fear regularly, feeling safer generally The Euro championship and how everyone gets into it (including our family!) And in the spirit of July 4th, here's what I miss most about the US: Good friends and family closer by (come visit!) Quality and diversity of food (we miss our local sushi and ramen spots!) Naturally understanding everything (my German is way better but it's still hard to adult in German) Customer-service attitude everywhere that makes day to day interactions easier Diversity and caliber of events (museums, comedy shows, concerts, movies) Services, including schools, generally sensitive to your time I probably missed a few things, but this is what comes to mind, as I sip my coffee and look out on the field behind our house. #milestone #oneyear #relocatingtogermany #lifeineurope

Travel insurance is there for your peace of mind should the worst happen no matter where you are. No one goes on holiday expecting to have an issue, but if the worst does happen it is good to know that you have a trusted partner there with you to support you and help with your needs and that is the reason to ensure you have quality travel insurance in place when you travel. #travelinsurance #peaceofmind #allianzpartners

Hi everyone, I just released the latest episode of my podcast which focuses on accessible air travel. In this episode I interview Mark Fisher, the Director of Advocacy Engagement at the Muscular Dystrophy Association, an organization that has been at the forefront of advocating for more accessible air travel. We discuss the barriers that people with disabilities face while traveling by air, the ways that advocates have raised their voices about this issue, and the major reforms that are included in the FAA Reauthorization which was recently passed by Congress. https://lnkd.in/ghr4uM-5

At #Modaxo, we're not just about building tech – we’re about making a difference. As a tech nerd, I'm always impressed by our innovations, but what truly excites me is the real-world impact we have on people’s lives. That's why I’m incredibly proud of the Trapeze DACH team’s recent collaboration with the Schweizerischer Blinden- und Sehbehindertenverband SBV and Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG). Together, they’re implementing the INTROS Mobility Assistance (kudos to SYSTEMTECHNIK GmbH !) System in #Berlin, a game-changing step toward improving accessibility in public transport. This system provides acoustic passenger information in buses and trams, offering essential support for blind, visually impaired, and mobility-impaired passengers. It’s inspiring to see our technology contribute to making public transport more inclusive and accessible, empowering individuals to navigate independently. #BVG #Accessibility #Inclusion #PublicTransport #Mobility #INTROS #TrapezeDACH #MovePeopleTogether #modaxo

Nothing in business is worth a dime if there is no integrity behind its intention. If we work to achieve success what success is it if not for the love of people. Hanging with this lot is a sheer joy. A team built on substance, care and connection with humanity. What could be more purposeful. #workforpeople #workwithpeople #alwaysmore #teamanna

The NHS is big, it employs millions of people, and needs to have a conversation about its own contribution to air pollution. Robin Minchom from Impact on Urban Health, led discussions at the Cleaner Air, Healthier Lives summit, on reducing air pollution from NHS operational activities. Attfield Andrew at Barts introduced the Clean Air Hospital Framework and described how it has been used across Barts to improve air quality from active travel schemes to procurement. Liz Hedditch (GOSH) and Ali Bilal (HATS group) – followed describing the impressive journey of transitioning some of GOSH's fleets to EVs. Whilst charging points remain a challenge, journeys are now being made using EV to take patients from GOSH to as far as Liverpool! #CleanAirDay Global Action Plan Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust  More information on the Clean Air Hospital Framework here - https://lnkd.in/eHH84VUq
