"Come on, let's go to the sea—where experiences become memories, where we're rich behind the dike because we're inheriting the world's nature, where the houses stand on stilts because they like to go for a swim every now and then, where the language is just as flat as the land and saying 'Moin' once is usually enough. Come on, let’s go to the sea. Because here’s the thing: Happiness has three letters. It’s spelled: SPO.” – Selina Seemann
