How Traveling Teaches You To Fall In Love

I have been living in Germany for almost 2 months now. It's been an experience to say the least. From my Instagram and even on the blog, it might seem like I'm living a carefree time. It hasn't been that easy, but it has opened my eyes in a completely new way. Immersing myself in this culture and country has helped illuminate our similarities and differences.  It's taught me that we are not that … [Read more...] about How Traveling Teaches You To Fall In Love

21 Reasons to Visit Ludwigsburg Germany For the Largest Pumpkin Festival in The World

Last weekend we decided to get in the Fall spirit and head to Ludwigsburg, Germany for the largest pumpkin festival... in the world! Just like every red-blooded American woman, I get overly excited about Fall. Boots, sweaters, hats, pumpkins, hot drinks; I'm all for it. We rented a car and loaded up the pups for a quick drive from Heidelberg to Hotel Ibis in Ludwigsburg. The weather was … [Read more...] about 21 Reasons to Visit Ludwigsburg Germany For the Largest Pumpkin Festival in The World

What to Do in Heidelberg, Germany

Heidelberg is the prettiest European city you've never been to. It's a somewhat hidden gem that you need to add to your list. I can’t believe that I call Heidelberg home. I could be biased, but it’s one of the prettiest cities I’ve ever seen. Rolling mountains, with a sandstone castle overlooking the Neckar river. The city is situated below the mountains and flanks the river, with shops, pretty … [Read more...] about What to Do in Heidelberg, Germany

A Walking Tour of Munich

Let me be frank, I did not know that Munich was this beautiful. I thought intricately decorated churches and sprawling parks and gardens were reserved for places like Paris and Amsterdam, but man was I wrong. Call it ignorance, but I was overjoyed by the beauty in Munich. If you haven’t considered visiting, you need to add it to your list. While Munich is known for it’s Oktoberfest celebration … [Read more...] about A Walking Tour of Munich

Moving Across the World

At 3:55 p.m. Central time, Michael and I, the two dogs, and 200 pounds of our stuff flew from Dallas, Texas to Frankfurt, Germany. Neither of us slept during the flight. With dogs at our feet, we sipped tea and watched movies, patiently waiting for the plane to land. As we flew, I worried. This is the craziest thing I've ever done. How insane are we? Michael has no job, we packed up our … [Read more...] about Moving Across the World

  • One year ago TODAY Michael and I packed up our two suitcases, dogs, and tearfully waved goodbyes to our family and friends in Dallas to MOVE to a country we'd never set foot in. I don't think I'd ever felt so nervous and excited. I remember sitting on the airport floor holding Millie in my lap and stoking Hugo's head thinking: "Is this really going to work out?" Here we are one year later with visas (even though it was a hard journey), a place to live, friends, and a love for Germany and all the places we've explored. Time has flown by and I can't wait to see what this next year holds. Thank you ALL for being part of our journey. I can't tell you how much it means to me. #helyeahheidelberg #helenelovesgermany #sulakids
  • Have you ever had an experience or place that totally took you by surprise? That was me today. First, we headed to a Swedish Bath. I was not about it. The thought of getting butt naked with a bunch of other women in a sauna sounded terrible. Plus I was feeling extra self conscious. But I did it. And as I jumped, naked, into the Baltic Sea I couldn't help but feel totally free. I wasn't thinking about anyone looking at my body or judging me. I just felt the adrenaline of being in the sea and then hopping in a hot sauna. Then last night I came up to @storyhotels to catch a glimpse before the sun set. I was dragging and tired but made the trek up. Then saw this. A bright, purple-orange sky setting just beyond the Turning Torso (the tallest building in Scandinavia.) Some times you just have to take the chance, jump naked, head up to the top, and make the memories. They are usually worth it. #storyhotels #helenetravels #heleneloveseurope #storyhotel
  • Where am I?! Not The Netherlands. This lovely windmill is in Sweden! 🇸🇪 I'm smitten with Malmö y'all. Just a short train ride over the water from Denmark lies Sweden. And the town of Malmö is so cute, windmills and all. #heleneloveseurope #helenetravels
