Lebkuchenherzen, or heart-shaped gingerbread cookies in English, were first invented in the 13th century by monks in Germany. Today, they have become a staple in German celebrations, including local Volksfests, the iconic Oktoberfest and, of course, Christmas. The cookies are decorated with various icing designs and lettering, like this one. This Lebkuchenherz is decorated with Bavarian flag motifs and sends “Greetings from Oktoberfest”. And it tastes just as good with a cup of tea! 😍 • • Have you ever had a lebkuchenherz? Do you have a staple like this one in your own country? #enroutewithakvile

In this digital world I became a little bit lazy and more often than not chose convenience over quality. I watched too many rubbish movies, average TV series and played silly games. Those sort of games you'd download for one flight only and delete straight after you landed. I forgot books. I had those excuses, like many people these days - it's too heavy, they take up unnecessary space once finished and most of the time are pretty expensive too. • • Now before my last trip home I was feeling lost a bit, worrying about things that do not really matter. So I popped into a bookstore at the airport and decided to fall back in love with books. I read 'Crazy Rich Asians' on my way to Germany & absolutely loved it. Then on my way back to England, I bought another book (look at me now!), called 'Keeping up with the Germans' and let me tell you this... my lunch breaks at work haven't been the same since and so is my daily commute to work on the tram. I am back at it. I'm a book addict. • • So now I want you to tell me what's the most recent book you've read and could recommend me? 📚 #enroutewithakvile

When I talk with people from all around the world, they ask me what's so special about Bavaria, out of all places in Germany. This is what's so special. This is the view out of my parents' window. How calming and humbling this view looks? I feel so blessed to be able to go for a walk here when I am at home with not a soul around. • • My mum and I went for a picnic one day and sat on this random bench, drinking tea, eating buns that we picked from a bakery the same morning and talking about life. Bavaria, out of all places, has some of the best scenery in the country and every neighbour knows your name. • • How the view out of your window looks like? #enroutewithakvile

Stress, anxiety and depression are caused when we are living to please others. • • As most of you might be aware by now, I’ve taken a little break from Instagram. Last week I found myself incredibly overwhelmed, frustrated and uninspired. I felt like I was stuck on a hamster wheel, trying to produce beautiful content and at the same time searching for a meaning in all of this. • • So I decided to take a break and decide where I’m heading and what’s the point. I travel because it’s my therapy. It allows me to run away from my daily routine and enjoy the moment. I started my travel Instagram for the same reason and I wanted to share my experiences with others. I want to always stay true to myself and it’s important to me to carry my own message and to not compare myself with others however hard that may be. • • And most importantly, a big thank you goes to those who’ve been following me for a while now and those who joined recently. I hope you enjoy this journey and I promise to keep it interesting and bring something new to the table! 💗 let’s keep it positive & inspiring, always. #enroutewithakvile

“Beer, if drunk in moderation, softens the temper, cheers the spirit and promotes health.” - Thomas Jefferson • • We said goodbye to another Oktoberfest and now it’s back to counting down until the next year. However, good news is... we can still enjoy a good stein of beer, even when Oktoberfest is over. I am a big lover of lager beers and Radler (also known as shandy in the U.K.). • • What’s your favourite drink? #enroutewithakvile

Here she is, eating again... BUT one cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well (thanks Virginia Woolf for an excuse). Right? • • I told you I am a big foodie. I do not say NO to food opportunities. This time we were walking around Manchester, exploring our new city and came across a lovely food market in Spinningfields. What's even better, we met @cheshirechimneycake, and me & chimney cakes go way back. It is one of my favourite sweet treats, especially when it is coated with cinnamon. It's soft, it's warm and it's bloody delicious. • • Have you ever had a chimney cake? #enroutewithakvile
