Well, we have been living in Germany for almost 6 years now! And I am low-key ashamed and angry with myself because in the 6 years we have been here, we somehow haven’t travelled all that much! We have been lucky enough to live in some AHH-mazing cities like Magdeburg, Stuttgart, and Leipzig, but other than that, we haven’t really gotten around! What can I say…Ryan is in season almost year-round and with the little …

Hey ya’ll! Can you believe we are less than two weeks away from Christmas?! I mean, where did this year go?! It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating Halloween and then… BAM, it’s Christmas-time. Ryan and I just spent two days walking around the Christmas Market here in Lübeck and we had SO much fun together. It really put us in the holiday spirit, as the jolly-ness is practically contagious over here! We look …

Oh, Leipzig. Where do I even begin with you? The city of Leipzig is and always will be a special place for us! For starters, it was the first place Ryan and I moved to after we got married, making it our first “home” as husband and wife. It’s also where we adopted our husky, Jax, and up until now, it’s the only place we have resided in for longer than 1 year. We feel …

Oh, the joys of the holiday season. That special time of year when the weather gets colder, people come out to celebrate, and everyone just seems genuinely happier. Nowhere in the world is this Christmas joy more prevalent than at a German Christmas Market! Visiting a German Christmas Market is the quintessential Christmas activity. In my opinion, it represents the true spirit of the holiday season! The Christmas Markets are all about gathering with friends …

Alright, let’s start off by addressing the elephant in the room. Yes, I am fully aware of the fact that we left for our honeymoon like 3 months ago and therefore, this post is LONG overdue (haha). But you know how summers are! One day it’s June and you’re lounging at the beach with a cold beer in hand, and the next minute it’s September and there are Back-To-School sales on every corner. What can …

Buenos Días! In case you haven’t heard, Ryan and I spent our (belated) honeymoon in Cancún, Mexico. Ryan spent many months researching, planning, and booking our trip (all by himself, I must add) and it was probably the best vacation I have ever been on! Aside from the fact that it was our honeymoon, the resort we stayed at was an absolute dream! It had everything we could have ever wanted or needed, and it was …

Cheers to the weekend! Ryan and I have been looking forward to this weekend for about a year now. Tomorrow we are leaving for our (very belated) honeymoon! YAY! Cue the clapping and confetti! In case you are new here, Ryan and I got married last June and didn’t have the time to take an extended honeymoon like we wanted to. Ryan was scheduled to start preseason just a few days after the wedding. So, …

Our month of travel begins today and I could not be more excited! Our first stop? Drum roll, please…I said, drum roll, please…USA BABY! Ryan and I haven’t been home to see our friends and family since our wedding last summer, so we are itching to get these wheels up! With all the traveling that we have ahead of us, we definitely had some serious packing to do this past week. Something I take very …

Hello friends! Ryan had his last game of the season this past weekend so for us, this means one thing and one thing only…SUMMER VACATION (can you hear me screaming from where you are? haha). Ryan and I made a promise to ourselves that we would get out and do some traveling and sightseeing during the summer break. First up on our list? Bastei Bridge!  Before we go any further, I feel I must tell …

Stuttgart was the second city we lived in here in Germany after we moved from Magdeburg. During our very first visit to “Stuggi”, we were there solely because of football. Ryan was on trial with a team located in Stuttgart, so I went along with him for the one week we were scheduled to be there. Since we had no idea if we would be moving there for good, we packed in all of our …
