Anzeige / Cooperation
Dear Aviator,
One of the talents you might not know is that I am technically skilled. I love to create, build and repair things. I definitely do not have two left hands. That is what you say in Germany when you are not good at craftsmanship at all. The place to get everything you need for your creativity is HORNBACH, which is more than a hardware store. It is an adventure world and I got to spend an entire night there.
Yes, you heard it right! After they closed the store and all customers left, I arrived at the HORNBACH. I could do anything I wanted to do in the hardware store for an entire night. Isn’t that a dream come true?

Hornbach in Bohnsdorf, Berlin

The Adventure World HORNBACH
At first, I was overwhelmed. I did not know where to get started because the HORNBACH in Bohnsdorf near Berlin is enormous and huge in this case is understated. It is gigantic! It is the second biggest HORNBACH with a 12000 square meter shopping area. Whatever you need they have it and one of the coolest features is the outdoor DRIVE IN – Not to get a happy meal but to get building material. This makes you happy because you can pull up directly with your vehicle next to the stuff you need. Isn’t that an adventure itself and especially in times of Corona, very convenient. I have used it myself to get wood for my fireplace and I found it ultra-convenient.

What’s the way to the DRIVE-IN?

The crew of the night!
A Mini Vacation
Speaking of an adventure. There is so much to discover at HORNBACH. You can see your visit rather as a mini-vacation between tropical flowers and little fish in the garden centre or between jacuzzis in the bathroom section. Or you may prefer to spend time viewing new kitchens or in the colour department with 16 million different colours to upgrade your home? The experience is totally up to you. Just make sure to plan enough time for your staycation.

Why Hawaii when you can spend time at Hornbach?!
My Night In The Hardware Store
Yes, I was overwhelmed – In a very positive way! The night took off with a tour through the entire store. Our Tour Guide was the one and only Uwe, probably the most fun store manager in the entire world. Immediately, you could feel that he had an enthusiasm for HORNBACH. #YippieJaJaYippieYippieYeah I love meeting people who are so passionate about their jobs.
I changed into some appropriate clothing for the location and then I was ready to spend the night there with other bloggers, Instagrammers and TikTokers like Julez. I think I do not need to describe much about my adventures since the photos say more than a thousand words.



Flying with the forklift 😉
Fazit HORNBACH Adventure World
Since travelling is still quite restrictive due to Corona, why not plan a staycation at HORNBACH?! Use the money you would normally spend on your travels to create something and to upgrade your home to make it more beautiful and cosy. There is always something to do #ErlebenSieHORNBACH #EsGibtImmerWasZuTun

Devo fare delle modifiche nel mio appartamento di BERLINO, DEVO CREARE. UNA STANZA in più, ho bisogno di un armadio a muro .. informerò il mio architetto di visitare questo centro commerciale bricolage .. credo che sia un ottima idea.
Exelente lugar ,aquí en mi ciudad hay algo parecido no tan grande , es una cadena de EEUU , Home Depot, me encanta ir ,a veces compro cualquier cosa ,pero me gusta recorrer todos los pasillos , y ahora que está seca la.navidad se pone muy bonito.

it’s great to have a place like that _Hornbach. when viewing your Instagram story about it. i was also overwhelmed by how vast it is and they have everything you need. I know you are very good at so many areas, creative and skillful in everything you do. Thanks for the beautiful photos. You look very strong and agile in your work uniform. always love reading your blogs, Captain
Hornbach in Bohndorf is great . Of the reels you shared, I like the decorective plants stall the most. Then I will build a house full of flowers and plants here. You are so talented that you have done great things. As for me, I don’t have any talent so I need to follow you so that you can instill some talent in me. Happy every day my handsome captain

very good writing. in addition to being a professional pilot but also smart to do something outside the pilot profession. I really like this writing.
I assume your most recent trip to Lisbon seems to have made you the happiest since you’ve gone public with your boyfriend to the aviators. The scenery, the people and the food in Lisbon are amazing, especially there is a very handsome and lovely couple there. Why are you and your boyfriend looking at each other through black sunglasses? I think you two should make eye contact to fall in love and fall in love with each other
