A Day in the Life of Living Abroad

My life abroad is very different from life at home. I mean, duh, of course. But there are some things in my day to day that still shock me. Like the whole grocery store and check out situation. Today I thought I'd give you a glimpse of my life in Heidelberg. Once a week we take the dogs on a hike up the mountains. I wake up around 7 or 7:30 (depending on how late I'm up the night before) … [Read more...] about A Day in the Life of Living Abroad

My 30th Birthday in Paris

I can’t believe I have to say that I’m “30 years old” when people ask me my age. It just doesn’t seem right. But there it is. So for my 30th, my sweet Mom and Michael asked me what I wanted to do for the day. My Mom was leaving out of Paris to go back to the States, so I said, heck yes, let’s do my birthday there. They also asked me if I had any special requests. My answer was yes. I wanted to … [Read more...] about My 30th Birthday in Paris

How I Make Enough Money Blogging To Travel

"My wife owns her own business... she's a blogger." This is how Michael most often introduces me. Every time I hear it, I think "WOW!" and also "WHAT?!" It's weird and fascinating to most. And it's the same for me. I am really really proud to be a blogger. My Mom stayed with us for the past three weeks traveling to 4 different countries. We were in the car discussing our life goals. She said to … [Read more...] about How I Make Enough Money Blogging To Travel

New Year’s Eve in Heidelberg

Except for one night: New Year's Eve. You know the movie The Purge? Imagine that but for fireworks. People of all ages pour out of their homes, onto the streets, and blast fireworks into the … [Read more...] about New Year’s Eve in Heidelberg

What I’ve Learned About Germans Since Living In Germany

You guys, I live in Germany. Sometimes I say this out loud and I kind of freak out. Because... what?! It's still very surreal and cold to me. The weather has officially changed and I was not prepared. At all. But it's okay because we have a house, a yard, and two very happy dogs. And I take an extremely brief walk and I'm in the heart of the city. I thought it's high time that I share with you … [Read more...] about What I’ve Learned About Germans Since Living In Germany

The Loneliness of Living Abroad

Last night I ordered canned pumpkin on Amazon.de. My favorite thing to do this time of year is to make large vats of soup and spend time with friends and family as the days grow colder. So far, this journey of moving abroad has been a complete rollercoaster. It's exciting and wonderful but also frustrating and lonely. I wake up and immediately want to text my friends or tell them something … [Read more...] about The Loneliness of Living Abroad
