Germany is hands down one of my favorite places to spend Christmas and yes, I’ll admit I have a slight obsession with German Christmas markets. Maybe I’m biased because I grew up here, but I honestly believe Germany does Christmas better than anywhere else. The atmosphere, the food, the decorations, it’s just magical. And while…
“Is Germany worth visiting?” is probably the question I get asked the most, likely because I’m German, and people assume I should know. Fair enough. So I figured it’s time to finally answer it properly. Now, I can’t give you the answer, but I can give you my answer, based on growing up here, traveling…
Lately I’ve been writing so many Christmas-in-Germany guides that I feel like a broken record saying how much I love it here during the holidays. But honestly, I really do. So if you’ve read any of my other guides, sorry not sorry, I’ll say it again: Christmas in Germany is magical. And if I had…
If you’ve read any of my other travel guides for Munich (and if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?) then you probably already know that I’m a big fan of Munich itself. From a tourist’s perspective, I honestly think Munich might just be the best city to visit in Germany. It’s exactly the Germany…
For me, both as a traveler and as a backpacker, food has always been a huge part of my trips.

That’s exactly…
I’ve said this before in a lot of my Germany articles, but I’ll say it again: I think Munich might just be the best city to visit in Germany if you’re here for the first time. I’m saying maybe because I’m still a little torn myself, but honestly, it ticks so many boxes. The stereotypical…
Whenever people ask me about Munich, one of the first questions is always the same: “But isn’t Munich super expensive?” And honestly, I get it. Even within Germany, Munich has this reputation, that it’s a city where you need deep pockets to live or even just to visit. I’ve been to Munich a few times…
Austria was never high on my bucket list until I saw how magical the streets looked at Christmas, and from that moment, I knew I had to see it for myself. Since that first trip, I’ve been back three times, including a six-week stay in Salzburg while cat sitting, and that’s when I truly fell…
Traveling and backpacking has changed so much over the last couple of years, and one of the biggest game changers has to be eSIMs. Gone are the days of landing in a new country, frantically trying to find a kiosk for a local SIM card, and then spending half an hour arguing with your phone…
Somehow, I completely missed the memo on using an eSIM for travel until last year, which is a little embarrassing considering how much I travel. But once I finally tried one, I was hooked. Honestly, I think eSIMs are the future of travel. The convenience is unbeatable: I can land at any airport in Asia,…
