I was born in Wiesbaden, Germany and spent my youth back and forth between Germany and the United States. At heart, I consider myself German and I still go back every other year to visit friends and family.

Growing up, my family would take us on road trips and fun excursions. From my childhood, I remember taking road trips through the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. My parents even took me on a cruise from Venice, Italy to Athens Greece.

In the last few years, I’ve taken a river cruise from Germany to Hungary, spent time in Croatia, took day trips to places like Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, I met a friend in Spain, and drove to Prague. As long as I live, I’ll continue to visit Europe, there is just so much to see and do there!
