For me, both as a traveler and as a backpacker, food has always been a huge part of my trips. I honestly think that trying the local food, no matter where in the world, gives me a much deeper connection to the culture and the people compared to just sticking with international restaurants. 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,…
Everyone talks about European summer, and yeah, it’s great, but honestly, Christmas in Europe might just be my favorite time to be on the continent. From mid-November through early January, cities light up with extravagant Christmas markets, steaming mugs of glühwein, and streets so sparkly they make you feel like a kid again. I’ve been…
One of my favorite cities to visit in Germany is definitely Munich. And as someone who grew up near Cologne, it honestly hurts me a little to say this, but I have to admit that Munich is the most beautiful of all our major German cities. The city has everything: a picture-perfect old town, stunning…
If you’ve read any of my other Germany travel guides, you probably already know that I’m a big fan of visiting Munich. I wouldn’t necessarily want to live there, but from a tourist’s perspective, I honestly think Munich is one of the best, maybe even the best city to visit in Germany. I’ve been a…
I honestly think Munich is one of the best cities to visit in Germany especially if it’s your first time in the country and or you’re flying in from overseas and want that classic, “stereotypical German” ( Bavarian) experience. Even though I was born and raised in Germany, I still get ridiculously excited every time…
