Did you know that there are more than 400 lakes in Bavaria?! I didn’t either until I just Googled it, but now we both know. A while back, we saw two of those lakes in one day, thanks to a hike on der Prinzenweg, a path that runs from the Schliersee to the Tegernsee. AsContinue reading “Schliersee to Tegernsee: A Day Hike from Munich”

Heidelberg, Germany + 10 Years Abroad!
I vividly remember a conversation Shane and I had after a few years of living in the Netherlands, during which we talked about how cool it would be to say we had lived abroad for a decade. Well, as of May, we’ve met that benchmark! We’ve officially spent a decade living abroad! To celebrate, weContinue reading “Heidelberg, Germany + 10 Years Abroad!”
London, 2024
This year is flying by! I know it’s cliche, but that’s how it feels! At least that’s my excuse for why it’s been over a month since we traveled to London to visit family, and I’ve yet to write about it. Quick life update before we get started; I got a job! I started mid-AprilContinue reading “London, 2024”
Hiking Hoher Kranzberg, Mittenwald, Germany
I don’t know about spring anywhere else, but spring in Munich has been crazy. We’ve had snow, beautiful 22 C° (72 F°) days, hail, rain, and everything in between. Luckily, we had some nice weather over Easter weekend, so we set off for the mountains for the first time since we’ve been back! Mittenwald isContinue reading “Hiking Hoher Kranzberg, Mittenwald, Germany”
Rainbow Mountain, Peru
This place is literally otherworldly! On the last of our three full days in Cusco, we scheduled a tour to Rainbow Mountain, or la Montaña de Siete Colores (the mountain of seven colors). For the record, we were exhausted by this point! The nice thing about staying in Cusco is that it’s central for variousContinue reading “Rainbow Mountain, Peru”
Machu Picchu, Peru
Hi again! This will be short since we are a mere 10 days away from moving back to Germany (🤯). And, let’s face it, there is so much information on the logistics of getting to Machu Picchu that I don’t need to go into the details. So, this post is all about the pictures! IContinue reading “Machu Picchu, Peru”
ATV Rides in Cusco, Peru
I like to think that, within reason, anything you can do, I can do. Maybe not better, but I’ll surely give it a go! Well, friends. Not this time. Driving an ATV is not for me, and you know what? I’m ok with it. I’ve gone a bit rogue with my blog-time continuum. My lastContinue reading “ATV Rides in Cusco, Peru”
Hiking to Quilotoa Crater Lake, Ecuador
It’s hard to believe, but by the time you’re reading this, we will officially have less than a month left in Ecuador! Two+ years here have simultaneously flown by and gone slowly, but that’s for another post. I’ve been to Quilotoa before when my friend Mary Beth visited, but it was only a day trip.Continue reading “Hiking to Quilotoa Crater Lake, Ecuador”
