Round The World
I don’t watch much TV, and reality shows certainly aren’t my top choice. But I do enjoy “The Amazing Race.” It’s travel-related, so I love seeing all the interesting places they visit. Plus there are always some logistical aspects that intrigue me since I love the planning part of travel. I’ve even had a few [...]

Sandwiched in between Cambodia and Vietnam, Laos is hard to pass up. It’s a laid back country with beautiful scenery and extremely friendly people. Laos is also where I started having a meltdown and decided I needed to fly back to Germany to see Andy. I didn’t do much that cost anything while I was [...]

The year is coming to a close, and I’m realizing just how much travel I did this year. At the beginning of the year, I was still on my round the world trip. Throughout 2012 I traveled in 12 different countries on five different continents. I collected tons of wonderful memories and way more pictures [...]
It’s snowing again in Freiburg, and I’m dreaming of warmer places. This week’s photo is from Gili Air, Indonesia. I felt like we had landed on an undiscovered island when we were there, and somehow this picture said that to me. It’s relaxed and peaceful, which was how I felt during our time in the [...]
Today is Thanksgiving in the US, but here in Germany it’s just Thursday. While it is a holiday to celebrate being thankful for all the good things in your life and a time to be with friends and family, the food is also a big deal. This year Andy and I are having a German [...]
