Reading, Watching, Listening

I am always on the hunt for the next show, movie, book, or podcast. I always appreciate when people share their reviews so I can pick my next thing to watch, read, or listen to. Which is why I always look forward to sharing my own series: Reading, Watching, Listening where I discuss all my favorites along with the ones I just couldn't stand. I had quite a few love or hate relationships with my … [Read more...] about Reading, Watching, Listening

High Tea at The Peninsula Hotel, Paris

"Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant." -Honoré de Balzac So many people are drawn to Paris. Of course, it's easy to see why: the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, River Seine... the list goes on and on. Strolling around this city you feel immensely inspired. Writers, authors, artists, singers, poets, they seem to flock to Paris to just lap up it's incredible … [Read more...] about High Tea at The Peninsula Hotel, Paris

Living Like a Local on the French Riviera

When I travel I tend to notice things more. Not just the big landmarks, or the people, or the cultural differences, but the scenery and the environment. I tend to appreciate the little things and feel enchanted with the world around me. This, in large part, is due to my love of adventure and, more often than not, where we stay. You have two options when you travel, stay in a hotel, or stay … [Read more...] about Living Like a Local on the French Riviera

2016 in Pictures

This year I stepped up my game photos wise. At the beginning of January (last year) I took a full course on photography, I learned photoshop, and most of Lightroom, and I tried to be more thought out when snapping pictures. If I compare myself from  a few years ago, or even last year, I can see HUGE improvements. So, I wanted to show you some of my favorite images from the past year. Some of these … [Read more...] about 2016 in Pictures

Helene’s Best of 2016 (Link up!)

Was it me, or did 2016 not just fly by but whirl by and take us all down with it? I don't think that was just me. This year was crazy. My personal life was absolutely insane. In a good way and in some tough ways. I LOVE end of the year recaps and reviews, so feel free to link up yours at the bottom of this post. I'm going to go over the highs and the lows, the best and the worst, and can't … [Read more...] about Helene’s Best of 2016 (Link up!)

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

  • Celebrating with Ice cream! My brand new SHOP just launched. It’s got a brand new set of Lightroom presets, my book, and more! Check it out with the link in my bio or heleneinbetween.com This photo is edited with *Hot Chocolate* #inbetweenpresets #helenetravels
  • When you travel time seems to stand still. You’ll carry the memories that you make on a single night throughout your life. My trip to Italy was one of my favorites. And that’s because I was able to feel relaxed, something that rarely happens. That’s due in large part to @monogramstravel who made the trip and itinerary easy. On the blog today, I’m talking about how to make your trip to Europe stress free as well as my time with @monogramstravel!

  • Having a gourd time in Bucharest so far! Never done with fall puns ever. 🎃 I’m in need of Fall recipes (aka anything with pumpkins) if you got ‘em tell me! #heleneloveseurope
  • Here’s a very casual photo of me getting ready to go to Romania for 19 days 😎* *jk this is a photo of me from my wedding day 6 years ago 😬 I’m feeling super nostalgic lately. I know it’s because I’ve been gone from home for more than a year but it’s also because my life abroad is vastly different from what I thought it would be. Some good, some not so good. To keep it real, and to be honest, I thought more friends would visit. Now that I’m here, I totally get it. It’s hard and expensive to take time off and fly half way across the world. But at the same time I keep wondering why not?! I also get irrationally irritated when someone comes to Europe and doesn’t ask to see me. Which is crazy. I know. But I just miss friends and family more than ever. Okay, there was no real point to this just needed to say it.
  • What can I say? Bitches love Fall 🍁🐶🍁😂 Millie wrote the caption 🤷🏼‍♀️ #helyeahheidelberg #sulakids
  • 🎶A boy went down to Napoli because he missed the scenery🎶 Err... I mean girl. One thing that always stumps me lately about travel, at least on Instagram, is seeing that people don’t fully embrace a place they are visiting. I saw a girl who visited an island in Greece and didn’t even touch the water until 5 days later. But she has pictures gallivanting around town. I guess my idea of travel is to do it all. See it all. Meet people. Go to museums. And yes, dip my toes in the sea. What do you think? * I’m going to add an addition here because many have been rubbed the wrong way since writing this. No, there isn’t a wrong or right way to travel. I am expressing how I feel about travel. I do think many go just to get a picture and that is something I don’t quite understand. If you feel differently, by all means let me know how you feel.
  • “When I'm reading, wherever I am, I'm always somewhere else.” - Rebecca Wells from he book, Little Altars Everywhere. On the blog today I’ve got 6 books, 2 tv shows, and 1 movie that I’ve devoured lately. One of them being my beloved Rebecca wells (she also wrote Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood). Any recs for the next books to read?! I need something GREAT!
  • *sees one leaf on the ground* *puts on hat, boots, scarf, and tells husband to take pics* 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂 I’m in full fall mode over here. The weather in Germany is INCREDIBLE. It makes me not want to leave!! P.s. once I wrote an entire blog post/ song called all the fall things to the tune of Blink 182’s “All The Small Things” and it was so bad it was good. Linking it in my Insta story if you’re curious. Or just want to see how weird I am. P.p.s. I’ve had a lot of questions about this top, so linking it here! http://liketk.it/2t44E @liketoknow.it #liketkit
  • INSTAGRAM: Having such a relaxing time at home! Sipping hot chocolate and decorating for Fall! 🍁🍂 REALITY: This was the first time I got up from my chair today, to go pick up leaves outside for this photo 😂 My eyes hurt from staring at my screen these past few days trying to catch up on work before leaving again. And... my socks are mismatched 🤔 #photosinbetween
  • I WASN’T WARNED! 😮No one told me that I would move to Europe and fall madly in love with Austria. No one! But can you believe I’ve visited this country 5 times (will make it 6 in November!) this year? Obsessed. On the blog today I’ve got 22 swoon worth photos that will make you fall in love with Austria too! Heleneinbetween.com #heleneloveseurope
