Met an angel with braided platinum hair planting flowers and trees around Potsdam Square. Not because someone hired her, because you cannot hire her passion. She moved to Luisen Platz two years ago with her German husband and saw the wind blowing the sand and lifeless town center. She grew bright flowers on her own and found local corporation to sponsor the soil and plants Smart and cheerful, she grew up in NY and San Fran with a degree in architecture. She has 5 children who are grown adults who are also into architecture, design and dance. She's 62 years young and my role model. Energetic, driven, smart and compassionate, I saw all of this when I walked up to her and complimented her garden. (My personal thing, always compliment passionate gardeners,street musicians and artists ). If you're ever in Potsdam, say hi and have a chat with this beautiful soul, her name is Eleanora Terrelonge Griffith de Franke. Her mom, who came from Costa Rica, worked as a personal assistant for Eleanor Roosevelt for 20 years, and name her after the smart and strong First Lady. Just call her Ellie and soak up her bright energy. I found a new friend, and that's been the best part of my trip to Europe. Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 117
Sometimes it's good to drink a cold glass of draft beer. Cheers. Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 125
Best meal on this trip was the rocket, mandarin orange, plum, pistachio, goat cheese and cheddar toss in a Japanese dressing salad I threw together. Love the fact that rocket, cheese and wine is so so inexpensive compared to Thailand, I had to eat my fill. Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 160

Hello Brussels, nice to see you again, I think I'm going to drink some draft beer and wonder what's the deep meaning of the little Peeing Boy on the fountain, and why is that a symbol for a city. #brussels Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 220

Sometimes a girl gotta do a back bend. After the walking, and backpack carrying, it just feels great...just don't do it in the middle of the street with a red truck coming at you. Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 117
One of the most picturesque town in Europe. I am surrounded with castle and cathedral, beer brewery and chocolate shops. Blissfully nice... #Bruges Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 191
Officially arrived in Belguim, and ordered a draft Leffé. I am not a beer drinker in any way but it would have been pointless to go to Belguim and not drink the beer. Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 4
To arrive in Amsterdam is to ride the bicycle, having a cute terrier is a huge bonus. #Amsterdam Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 231
There's something about red doors and windows... Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 164
This is my favorite bridge. Even on a cloudy day, I love walking and feeling the cool breeze on my face. #Amsterdam Instagram ดารา @pop_areeya 172
