I just came back from 2.5 days in Berlin for some Axe focus groups. I am really surprised how similar German guys are, when compared to American guys. I guess when it comes to design, girls, and their lives guys are still guys.

It’s time to start adding some hard content to my blogging. A few people have been asking about office life. Who do you sit with? What do you eat? Where is the office located?You asked, I answer.
I will be sure to talk more about office life in another post, this is just a starter.

Hello form Germany! I have arrived safely. My flight went off without a hitch. I actually met a rather interesting person on my flight — we had a whole bunch of things in common, including the same last name.
**Random thought** I am not sure why the flights leave so late in the evening. By departing at 6pm on the east coast you don’t end up finishing dinner until 1am Europe time. If flights departed an hour or two earlier you would begin to adjust to the time zone even quicker. But I digress…
After collecting my bags I was promptly picked-up and driven to my “flat”. The driver asked if I would like to listen to some music, me never turning down music said “sure.” What do I find myself listening to? The Red Hot Chilli Peppers – now that is globalization for you.
Check out the video and pictures below to check out my flat. More to come soon, though these updates may all get posted at the same time since I don’t have internet yet.

As of today I am completing about 5 weeks of traveling. I was in Hamburg, Germany for Axe ; Cabo, Mexico for vacation; Las Vegas for CES; and now back to Hamburg. Boy will I be happy to stop flying in and out every week (a little bit of sleep will be a very good thing), but this time it is different.
I am leaving today for Hamburg for 6 months. Why Hamburg? I have opted to take a secondment with Unilever, to work on the Axe Shower Gel global brand development team. I plan to write, at least on a weekly basis, about my experience, travels, work, and more. To kick things off check out some photos from the SIDE hotel in Hamburg from trip #1.
