Prague
Last week William, our friend Laura, and I all headed over to see Prague. We’re very thankful she invited us since train tickets can be expensive and the cost of gas is best when split amongst three people. We left early in the morning and got in around 5:00 pm. One bit of advice, parking…

Our First Day in Munich
Thanks to William’s work schedule, he can take three-day weekends occasionally. This past weekend, we decided to take advantage of this by visiting Munich in Bavaria. We left Thursday night and drove to a cute little hotel near the Munich City Center. We decided to do a self-guided walking tour around the city center on…

Traveling with a Cat
Traveling with a pet can be very stressful, thankfully for William and I the military made bringing Mithrandir over much less expensive.

We made it.
I’m not going to lie; this move has been complicated. Of course, all international moves are complex, but most people don’t have the United States Airforce doing its best to make it more difficult. While the military allocated William and me 600 pounds of furniture (which is very little, let me assure you**), we could…

Berlin Bound: A Final Glimpse of the Ishtar Gate Before Renovations
You know those trips when you head to a city for one thing, and one thing only? Yeah, this was that type of trip. I’m sure Berlin is a wonderful city, but William and I only had eyes for the Pergamon Museum which closed after our visit to do renovations for 14 years. Darling told us…

Walking Through Warsaw: Three Days of Museums, Food, and Fun
Taking the train from Germany to Poland is not for the faint of heart—not because it’s dangerous, but because it takes a while to get there. I took an early morning train (around 4 AM) and arrived in Warsaw around noon. I walked from the station to my hostel, admiring the Palace of Culture and…

Bayeux Tapestry: A Historic Pilgrimage to William the Conqueror’s Era
Anyone who knows William knows he adores learning about history. Whether he’s reading Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation, exploring The Children of Ash and Elm, or diving into another Teddy Roosevelt biography, William loves uncovering new stories about the past. While the Bayeux Tapestry isn’t a book, it’s the closest thing we have…

Finally Making It to Edinburg
Finally, after the disruption of the pandemic in 2020, I had the chance to complete my long-awaited trip to Scotland. This time, I traveled without the looming threat of COVID-19 and without the exorbitant $1,500 plane ticket back home. My journey began in Kaiserslautern, where I caught a 6:00 am train to Paris Est. From…

Embracing the Chaos: My Train Ride from Vilnius to Warsaw
Traveling by train in Europe is generally smooth sailing. Train stations are everywhere, trains run mostly on time, and tickets aren’t terribly expensive. My trip from Vilnius to Warsaw? Trust me, it was anything but ordinary. The escapades began innocently enough. Armed with my trusty EuroRail pass, I walked into the Vilnius station to purchase…

Vibing in Vilnius
This impromptu, solo trip came right after a visit to Warsaw as I had a couple of extra days before I needed to head back to Germany. So, I figured, why not hop up to Vilnius? After all, another four-hour train ride from Warsaw was a breeze compared to the journey from southern Germany. I…

Finding an Apartment in Landstuhl
When William and I first arrived in Germany, we were faced with the daunting task of finding a place to call home within a month. Complicating matters further, we didn’t have a car initially, which made exploring the area quite challenging. Thankfully, we discovered Kleinanzeigen, a German classifieds platform, which helped us identify a few…

A Trip to Milan
At the beginning of the Summer, a friend decided to go on a quick visit to the gorgeous city of Milan. Since I hadn’t seen her in a few years, I quickly booked a hostel and grabbed train tickets to see her. After much searching on Deutsch Bahn, Rome2Rio, and the EurRail site, I realized…
