Ah, Oktoberfest! Or, die Wiesn, as the locals say. Oktoberfest was canceled in 2020 when we first moved to Munich. Then, we left for Ecuador literally days before it started in 2021. So, finally, after years of anticipation, we made it to Oktoberfest! For me, it was one of those events that lived up toContinue reading “Oktoberfest 2024!”

Hiking in Lenggries: A Day Trip from Munich
It’s official. Our beautiful summer has come and gone. Luckily, we took advantage of our last hot, summer-like day and headed to the mountains! We don’t have a car, so I’m always looking for train-accessible hikes. I didn’t realize it at the time, but Lenggries has a lot of options! I also didn’t realize LenggriesContinue reading “Hiking in Lenggries: A Day Trip from Munich”
Schliersee to Tegernsee: A Day Hike from Munich
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”
The Eras Tour!
Dear Reader, It’s been a long time coming to get to the Eras Tour. Literally, it was over a year.

Heidelberg, Germany + 10 Years Abroad!

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!”
