Reikalein is known in real life as Christine Syrad. She lives in Zurich, Switzerland, where she’s nurturing her German skills in a Swiss German environment. It’s akin to expecting a four leaf clover to spring out of a nuclear waste site, but idealism is one of Christine’s most exploited features.
It’s pretty safe to say being half-Japanese and half-British with an unorthodox twist of wannabe Italian means she’s zig-zagging through life on the road less travelled, but that certainly doesn’t imply loneliness. She’s always found equally random people to accompany her along the way and has actually met many of them thanks to this blog!
Reikalein is a space homing the abundance of thoughts whizzing through Christine’s head. Here she can store her thoughts on travel, living abroad, language learning, cooking, eating and having a bloody good time.
