Much needed motivation

by Hanne on February 4, 2013

I have to admit – being in a foreign country and city where you don’t know anyone is not always easy, and although I’m loving Hamburg so far I have my ups and downs as well. If I’m feeling down I like to find motivation and inspiration on Pinterest and today I thought I’d share some of my favorite motivation quotes/pictures. We all need them once in a while… :)

These can definitely make me in a better mood when I need it!

Today I have a job with a very good photographer here in Hamburg, we are doing a beauty editorial – I can’t wait! The job is not until later so now I’m planning to run around the lake here. Hope you are having a nice Monday! :)

Great quotes and advice! I just moved to Amsterdam a few
days ago from NYC for study abroad and I’m still finding my
bearings in a new place. This post has already lifted my spirits a
bit :)

Hei Hanne, I live in a foreign country also and sometimes I have hard time and feel a little bit helpless and lonely but i know that this will pass and everything will be fine! And surprise surpise! Do you know which is my new country? Your beautiful Norway! But your blog makes me feel a strong woman and thank you for that!
Stor klem!!!

That’s so cool you are in Norway! I hope you like it, and remember Norwegians may seem cold but that’s only on the outside! :)

Jeg vet hva du mener! Jeg har nettopp flyttet til Australia uten å kjenne noen. Jeg valgte å komme ned hit en måned før skolen starter for å finne et sted å bo. Da det gikk i boks ble det litt “men hva skal jeg gjøre nå da?” Heldigvis har jeg funnet norske studenter gjennom Ansa og til uka begynner Orientation, så det blir nok bare bedre og bedre.

Er helt sikker på at det finnes flere norske studenter i Hamburg, du kan jo kontakte Ansa og høre? :)

Takk for en veldig god ide Miriam, det skal jeg gjøre! :)

We will have a big parade on monday:)It is called Rosenmontagszug. Hope you are feeling better now!xxx Anna

I hope Pinterest and other lovely time crunchers are able to bring your spirits up! I lived in Sweden form 18 months, and totally felt the “alone” feeling from being in a foreign place. Just hang in there, it will get better! I can promise you that! xo
