10 Things I Love About Germany
Germany will always be home to me. I was born here, lived here, have family that still resides here and have made friends for life here. I try and visit at least once every other year and always feel at home when visiting. I would be a little biased to say Germany is my favorite country, but I would like to think that people traveling to Germany from other countries would think the same. I mean Germany is a beautiful and diverse country with towering mountains in southern Bavaria to ocean coastlines in the North and East Sea. Throughout Germany, you can find castles, palaces, fairytale like cities and even…

My Favorite and Most Surprising Beer Destinations
I would be lying if I said beer does not have any impact on my travels. Before I venture out to a new destination, I always check my Untappd app and do research on potential breweries and taprooms where I’ll be staying. I love finding places in town and trying local brews. When Jill and I travel, we are out all day on our feet walking 40,000 steps give or take. To break things up or at the end of the day we always find ourselves at a brewery and honestly it is usually a highlight of my day. There is something about the atmosphere of breweries/taprooms, the people there,…

Würzburg, Germany: What to Do, See, and Eat
A city rich in history and culture, Würzburg, has always been a favorite city of mine in Germany. I lived here for three years and continue to come back time and time again. There is something about this city that makes me want to explore more. Würzburg has one of the most beautiful Residence’s in all of Europe, from here you can walk through the old district, cross the Old Main Bridge, and hike up to the Marienberg Fortress, a huge medieval castle perched on top of the hill overlooking all of Würzburg. Perhaps it’s the size of the city I love so much. With a population just a little…

My Favorite Food From Around the World!
Food is a major contributing factor as to why I travel. Food is regional and differs from state to state, country to country. In my lifetime of travel, I’ve never really had a bad food experience abroad. Sure some cuisines I like more then others, but sampling food excites me no matter where I am. I’ve been to some surprising locations, like Lima, Peru that had some of the most flavorful and authentic dishes. Other places like Guatemala where the food was not as exciting, but still can’t go wrong with basic tortillas, beans, and a side of meat. Regardless of the location, I do my research prior to visiting…

Die Rhön, Deutschland – Nature and Villages
Die Rhön is a vast area of low mountains located in the central region of Germany. The mountains here are a result of volcanic activity, although no active volcanoes remain today, the hills are remnants of old volcanoes. Die Rhön is a fairly large area and can be found where the three German States of Bavaria, Hesse, and Thuringia meet. The Wasserkuppe is the highest point in Die Rhön at 950 meters.
