“Life at trivago, where do I begin! My time at trivago has been a whirlwind of adventure and learning. It all started at a German university course back in the US, where I met my good friend Ellie. We had always spoken about our shared dream to live and work abroad one day. When she recommended […]
Having an occasional home office day is usually great, but doing months of remote work can be challenging, especially for parents with small children and babies. We did some research and with the help of some of our trivago parents, we’ve put together some tips to help you handle your working days while caring for […]
As a majority of the population enters yet another week at home, many of us are running out of things to do. We’ve mastered baking, pretty much watched everything on Netflix, and Facetimed our entire contact list, so what do we do now? Boredom combined with the uncertainty surrounding when things will return to normality […]
“As a designer we create, which means we have to think consciously about what we create. [….] I believe it’s our responsibility to create designs that are meaningful and long-lasting, or that can be reused or upcycled in another way.” Julia Buchmann, one of our Corporate Communication Designers, talks about her upcycling initiative that she […]

A lot of us are working from home, binging trashy series, eating (too much) and perhaps starting to fantasize about a holiday. But the excitement is often short-lived as we know all too well that the dream of […]
This week we’re 3 weeks into a fully remote office setup and we’re getting used to communicating and collaborating from our comfortable home offices. We realize that none of this would’ve been possible if it wasn’t for our team of superheroes otherwise known as the OrgTech team. We took some time to ask them a […]
