Yep, you read that correctly! I’m so behind on the blog. I mean, I know I don’t need to justify this to my ten regular readers, but editing as a job really takes away the desire to get back on the computer after work. Fun fact, we’ve lived in Ecuador for a year! Actually, itContinue reading “Munich and Prague: A Mini-European Adventure”

Munich’s Hirschgarten: A ‘How-To’
Shane says that if I were to have a superpower, it would be the power of awkwardness. I have the uncanny ability to make any seemingly normal situation perfectly awkward. How? I’m not entirely sure, but I can generally feel it coming on, and the more I try to make the situation less awkward, well,Continue reading “Munich’s Hirschgarten: A ‘How-To’”
Kranzhorn Mountain Hike, Germany (& Austria!)
We may not get to *actually* travel much this year, but I can at least say I’ve been to Austria twice! ANNDDD technically I’ve walked across the border, so if that’s not an adventure then I don’t know what is. We’re pretty lucky to have two friends from Groningen also living in the Munich area,Continue reading “Kranzhorn Mountain Hike, Germany (& Austria!)”
Germany: Three Month Impressions + August Joy Report
It’s hard to believe that we’ve been in Munich for three months. Even harder to believe that Shane still isn’t working, but that’s a post for another day (I don’t have nice things to say, and we need the good karma). A month into our German expat adventure, I wrote about my (our) first impressions.Continue reading “Germany: Three Month Impressions + August Joy Report”
Summer in the City, Munich

Until we moved here, we didn’t realize that there’s moreContinue reading “Summer in the City, Munich”
Munich Guide: Olympia Park
Our trip to Olympia Park was an accident. Ok, kind of. I mean it was on ‘the list’ and we did intentionally bike there, but our original plan was to go swimming in the Isar river. That plan was foiled once we looked at the radar. So instead, we decided to check out Olympia Park,Continue reading “Munich Guide: Olympia Park”
48 Hours in Munich, Germany
I don’t know about you guys, but I need a mental break from the coronavirus news. We’re not on full lockdown here in the Netherlands, but bars, restaurants, and gyms are closed, public transportation has been reduced, and people are encouraged to work from home. Long story short, it’s all anyone can talk about. So,Continue reading “48 Hours in Munich, Germany”
