Germany

Christmas markets in places like Strasbourg and Vienna and Prague are amazing, but there are some lesser known European Christmas markets that you shouldn’t discount! Especially if you don’t love the crowds that come with the more popular Christmas markets. If you want to visit some places that aren’t quite as popular or want to […]

Matt and I had an incredible honeymoon! We got married in August and I hate the heat, so instead of going to the beach, we wanted to go to a place a little cooler. I love mountain lakes, so we decided to explore lakes and castles in Bavaria and the Austrian Alps! We spent 7 […]

You may have read the guest post my mother wrote about Key West, and she’s back with another post! My family went to Bavaria, Germany last summer and saw lots of amazing places. My sister Elena wrote a recap of their week here, and my mom contributed all the photos! Last summer we had the […]

Matt and I spent our honeymoon in Germany and Austria and visited some AMAZING places! We stayed around Wilder Kaiser in Austria because we wanted to be in a quiet area in the mountains, but all of the day trips we took around the area were close to Munich (and don’t worry, we spent time […]

Matt and I spent the last weekend of our honeymoon in Munich and had an amazing time! We had beautiful weather (although it did get a little hot) and saw tons of amazing sights. There’s a lot to do in Munich and you could probably spend weeks there and still not see everything beautiful sight, […]

Matt and I spent the last few days of our honeymoon in Munich! We explored the beautiful Residenz and so many amazing sights in Munich (plus, we ate lots of delicious food!). One of the first things we did in Munich was take a tour. I love taking tours when I travel because you can […]

Matt and I went all over Austria and Bavaria during our honeymoon, and our last stop was Munich! There is so much to see and do in Munich, and I can’t wait to go back to see more of the sights. One of the places we visited was Residenz, a historic palace in the heart […]

When Matt and I were planning our honeymoon, we knew we wanted to be on a pretty lake in the mountains in Europe (it was August and I didn’t want to be sweltering on a beach!). We ultimately decided on staying near Wilder Kaiser in Austria to see Hintersteiner See, but after I saw pictures […]

On our honeymoon, Matt and I visited not one, but two castles in Germany! Herrenchiemsee was the second castle we visited, and I loved it. It’s basically a miniature Versailles on an island in the middle of a lake- how cool is that? I’ve visited the Versailles of Denmark, but the Versailles of Germany is […]

While we were on our honeymoon in Austria and Germany, Matt and I tried to see some unique and off-the-beaten-path places, and Burghausen Castle is one of the most unique palaces I’ve seen. At over 1,000 meters, Burghausen Castle is the longest castle complex in the world! I’ve been to castles like Versailles and lots […]

I love taking day trips when I travel! I think it’s a great way to get out of a big city and see some smaller towns and get a more local feel. Aarhus has a lot of amazing day trips, and when I was planning my trip to Hamburg, I learned about Lüneburg from Wayfaring […]
