Remember that time I was super excited to move to THE Oktoberfest city and then it was canceled for the first time since WWII? Oktoberfest is the largest Volksfest (folk festival) in the world and generally brings in ~1.5 billion euros from tourists each year. Until we moved here, we didn’t realize that there’s moreContinue reading “Summer in the City, Munich”

Munich Guide: Pasing
It occurred to me the other day that I’ve been so focused on experiencing (and sharing) Munich city center, that I haven’t talked much about our little neck of the woods – Munich, Pasing! Pasing is a district in west Munich and feels like a city of its own (because it originally was). It hasContinue reading “Munich Guide: Pasing”
A Week of Happies (no crappies!)
Sorry for the language, but 2020 is a sh*t show. I mean, now Kayne is running for President? I just can’t. And Shane’s job?

My sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law taught us a game:Continue reading “A Week of Happies (no crappies!)”

This may seem insignificant (which, ok it is), but I love cheese and I surely love that cheese on a pretzel – ERGO – this is an unacceptable situation. My pretzel antidote isContinue reading “Munich: A Shwitastic Guide!”
Germany: First Impressions
Ah, first impressions. They can make or break a relationship. So far, Germany has been kind to us. We’ve been here for two weeks, so I thought I’d put on paper (on screen?) our first impressions of living in our newly adopted country. Learning German is a must. Ok – so we could probably getContinue reading “Germany: First Impressions”
Hello, Munich!
Tot ziens, Holland. Willkommen in Deutschland! We did it, we made it to Munich! Before I start, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge current world events – specifically the Black Lives Matter protests happening in America right now. As an American living abroad for the foreseeable future, to be honest, I feel aContinue reading “Hello, Munich!”
