Hiking in Ehrwald, Austria

If I could insert googly-eyes, I’d do it. I know we’ve only been in Munich for 2 months, but I’ve been dying to get to the mountains. So, when a soon-to-be-whenever-Germany-lets-Shane-finally-work (ugh) colleague invited us to tag along on a day trip to the Alps, we jumped at the chance. So, last Friday we headedContinue reading “Hiking in Ehrwald, Austria”

Munich: A Shwitastic Guide!

22 days. That’s how long it took for me to get around to buying a cheese pretzel (käsebrezel, as I now know). 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.

Dear Holland: a love letter

Turns out, Eastern Europe has plenty of good snowboarding if you’reContinue reading “Snowboarding: Jasna, Slovakia”

Eden Eco Village: Kampot, Cambodia

Our stay at Eden Eco Village was one of the things I was most looking forward to on this trip. Like a lot of other highly-anticipated things, this one didn’t live up to my expectations, and to no fault of Eden. Let’s see, where do I begin. Oh yes, this will do. If you rememberContinue reading “Eden Eco Village: Kampot, Cambodia”

Egypt: Giza, Marsa Shagra, & Cairo

I’ve never actually sat down and made a ‘lifetime bucket list’, but if I had the Pyramids at Giza would have been on it. But not anymore! 🙂 And they don’t call them ‘great’ for nothin! We had three nights total in Cario which bookended our trip to Marsa Shagra for diving. The beginning ofContinue reading “Egypt: Giza, Marsa Shagra, & Cairo”
