That is my exact feeling when I plan anything. When I plan something AMAZING, this is where I will share that with all of you! I made a travel app guide & a carry-on packing list, which will save you money and time on travel planning!

Ready to brunch in Heidelberg?! We all love a good brunch and I am not talking about a European brunch where you grab a croissant, cheese, and salami. If you know, you know! If you don’t, in Germany and the majority of Europe bread, an assortment of meats and cheese is considered breakfast. Yes, no eggs included. A traditional brunch in America usually includes avocado toast, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, and so many…
In 2016, I took my first international trip as an adult to Thailand and it was the most eye-opening experience. I heard how expensive the flights to Thailand were, but once you landed that the area was cheaper. I found flights for $700 round-trip, which everyone was shocked. After that trip, I went to over 10 plus countries and dozens of local trips and travel is affordable. We have this image in our heads that…

If people watching isn’t your thing, no worries because Köln has a variety…
Our first official trip in Germany was to where we were supposed to start our life abroad. Kind of poetic. If you are new around here, my husband and I were supposed to move to Cologne, Germany last year. New opportunities came up and we ended up moving to Heidelberg. It was only right that we headed off to Cologne for our first weekend trip. We stayed at 25 Hours Hotel Cologne The Circle. When…
