Last chance to see EILEEN:AILEEN! 🎭💗
I went to see it twice last week – Friday and Saturday – and genuinely loved it. I probably would have gone a third time if I’d had the chance. 😊

Funny, clever, thought-provoking and wonderfully human. A small, intimate theatre, a fantastic cast, and a story about AI, social media, identity, perfection and our increasingly digital lives – while somehow bringing it all back to what makes us human.

There are only three performances left: tonight, tomorrow and Sunday – 18, 19 & 20 September at 7 PM.

So if you’re in Cape Town and can still get a ticket: go! ❤️

Support local theatre, brave ideas and the wonderful people who bring them to life.

TODAY IS THE DAY! 🎭💗
Eileen meets Aileen.
Human meets AI.
And apparently the algorithm has a few opinions of its own… 😏🤖

“I post, therefore you are.”
Wishing the entire team a fantastic opening night tonight! ✨🎭

May the humans win. Or at least get more likes. 😂
I’ll be there cheering you on! ❤️
See you tonight!
Love Julia

Hey, good to see you here 🫶
How are you???

I got busy being in life again 😅

The past year has been full of travel, tours, beautiful encounters, deep conversations, friendship, loss, family, growth and many unforgettable moments in between 🌞

And somewhere along the way I also started learning how to become a little less busy.

Taking more care of my body, mind and soul and continuing to do so right now 💙🫶🙏

Feeling grateful for life, my husband, my children, my family, friends and where I stand today.

And tomorrow… birthday & Mother’s Day 🌿💃

Hopefully not too far away to see some of you again soon 🤗

Love from Cape Town,
Julia 🩷

Cape Town never stops surprising me…

One of my favorite things to do—whether guiding a tour or just exploring on my own—is capturing Table Mountain from different angles across the city. Each spot tells a new story, each view feels like a fresh discovery.
Ready to see Cape Town through my lens? 📷

Meanwhile Julian is off to China! 🇨🇳🎎✈️

From cheese fondue, lekker braai to sushi – this year is definitely one for the books. 🫕🍖🍱🍜

🇨🇭 Working and skiing in Switzerland
🦁 Safari in the Eastern Cape
🌊 Surfing the winter waves in St. Francis Bay
👨‍👩‍👦 Family time in Europe

… and now: Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong – together with his friend Alex, visiting their school friend Till. 😎🎏
(And fun fact: we moms ended up sitting next to each other on the airplane last week – completely by chance! ✈️😂)

And while this trip to Asia is a dream in itself, the bigger dream has already taken shape: Julian has accepted his offer from Stellenbosch University. 🥳😍🤩
To study International Studies there is truly something special – a program that brings together politics, history, cultural diplomacy and (most likely) Spanish. This trip to Asia feels like the perfect prologue to his academic journey.🤓

And me? I’m happily back in Cape Town after precious time with my hubby in Zimbabwe and with family and friends in Europe – moments of laughter, farewells, and everything in between. ❤️😎

Spring is in the air – visitors are flying in while Julian is flying out. ☀️✈️

💫 Go boys – explore your world.
Courage turns journeys into stories, and stories into a life well lived. 🌍📖✨❤️

Olli and I finally made it to Harare in Zimbabwe – the place of sunshine and smiles! ☀️

I'm here as one of the Two Boss Ladies – Trying Life,
together with my African sister Loice, the second Boss Lady in this adventure.

And one big reason we came is to help finish building the home for Loice and her family.

And you can be part of a bigger smile – One Brick at a Time.
Because this is more than a house. It’s a dream rising from the red Zimbabwean soil.

🔨 Last week: the roof went up & the windows were installed
🔨 This week: the walls are being plastered
🔨 Next up: a water tank, a borehole, and plumbing
… and if all goes well, maybe even a simple kitchen 🙏🏾

A beautiful baby just arrived 👶🏾
A traditional wedding is happening this Saturday 💍

This home is needed now – for love, life, and a future full of light.

We’re deeply grateful for the first contributions that made all this possible –
especially to Olli’s late father Dieter and his mother Rosemarie,
as well as to a few close friends who supported this vision from the very beginning. 💛
Your love is now part of the walls we're building. Thank you!!❤️🙏

Here in Harare – “A Sunshine City with a Sunshine People” –
we feel the warmth, the welcome, the will to rise. Let’s build this smile together.

💛 Support our sisterhood.
💛 Support this home.
💛 Support Two Boss Ladies – Trying Life.

We’re busy on site here in Harare – but if you’d like to contribute, just drop me a message.
We’ll gladly send you the bank details for either a South African or a German account.
Every little bit helps – and is deeply appreciated. 💛
