Moving to and Living in Stuttgart, Germany.
This is our first time to Berlin despite being in Europe for over 2 years now! Our M.O. is to travel outside of Germany but we are glad we made it to Berlin. It will be a regular trip for us now since it is easy to get to, reminds me of NYC's creative coming-up... Continue Reading →
I had the opportunity to attend a last minute training class in Wiesbaden, 2-3 hours from Stuttgart. I knew nothing about the area, but ended up having a great time with things left over to do that we did not have time to see. Taking class time into consideration during the bulk of the day, five...

Even booking last minute (2-3 days before) the bahn train was super easy booking online to hop two hours over to Munich for the day for the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

It snowed the weekend we arrived which really kicked off the Christmas market season experience. The Neue Rathaus at Marienplatz is gorgeous with the famous moving Glockenspiel we were lucky...

Triberg (Tree-burg) is under a two hours drive from Stuttgart into the Black Forest, or Schwarzwald in German. The quickest route is autobahn mostly until the last half hour where the road takes you uphill through towns and the towering forest. Driving back at night (5pm) is a different experience because it's very dark. The winding roads in... Continue Reading →
The drive to Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Bavarian castles from Stuttgart is about 2.5 hours. Its is unfortunately necessary to have a car, the train and bus system is difficult with multiple transfers to get here unless you book a scheduled bus trip ahead of time. Parking is about 6 euro for the day, then follow... Continue Reading →
