Out of
Office.
Life in Germany after the corporate 9-to-5.
After resigning from a full-time Data Analytics career in Germany, Eri takes you along on the real next chapter: navigating the leap into creative independence, slow travel, intentional daily habits, and the honest realities of German bureaucracy when you step outside the traditional job path.

What is Out of Office about?
More than just an announcement, this series documents the whole transition: the emotional highs of leaving a job, the unhurried mornings, the practical admin of German bureaucracy, and crafting a self-directed future.
Life & Home
Quiet mornings without a rush hour commute, creating an inspiring home workspace, and nurturing mental wellbeing.
Slow Travel
Off-peak train trips across Germany, exploring charming towns, countryside escapes, and unscripted European travel.
Germany & Admin
The unfiltered paperwork: resignation notice periods (Kündigung), Krankenkasse adjustments, tax registration, and visas.
New Beginnings
Building Eri in Germany full-time, testing creator business models, client collaborations, and designing work around life.
