The Eras Tour!

Dear Reader, It’s been a long time coming to get to the Eras Tour. Literally, it was over a year. After not being selected for any presale codes for the US shows (which essentially guarantees you weren’t getting tickets), I was THRILLED when she announced her European tour, Munich was on the list, and IContinue reading “The Eras Tour!”

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!”

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”

The European Shwits are Back!

Fun fact. We’ve technically been in this new apartment in Germany for roughly two months, and it was only yesterday that we figured out how to register and pay for electricity. 🤦‍♀️ Good news, we can backdate it. 😆 I say technically back in Germany because we arrived from Ecuador and almost immediately left forContinue reading “The European Shwits are Back!”

Munich Guide: New Town Hall… and We’re Moving!

Life has gone from zero to everything! Quick recap. We moved to Munich for Shane’s position. The original plan was to be in Munich for about three months, then the lab project would take us to Tena, Ecuador, for about two years. Like most, coronavirus put us in a state of limbo, but not anymore,Continue reading “Munich Guide: New Town Hall… and We’re Moving!”

One Year in Germany!

Quite by accident, the end of May has become our official unofficial moving-aversary. This time last year, we were leaving the Netherlands for Germany, but this time seven years ago (🤯), we were leaving Pittsburgh for the Netherlands! In honor of our one-year Deutsch-aversary, I wanted to do a little reflecting. What do we reallyContinue reading “One Year in Germany!”

Riederstein Hike: Tegernsee, Germany

I know, I know. You’re probably thinking “what-the-damn-hell!?” ’cause we got out of the city, baby!! This past Sunday was G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S and our first true summer-feeling day. When we met up with our friend, Theresa, back in March we talked about going for a hike when the weather finally turned. So, when a beautiful sunnyContinue reading “Riederstein Hike: Tegernsee, Germany”
