How to Spend Money to Save Money

It was a dreadfully hot day in Texas. Temperatures reaching up to almost 100 degrees. Michael and I were meeting friends out at Gloria's, one of our local Tex-Mex hangs in Dallas that serves decent food but better margaritas. We decided to eat at home that night and then go out to socialize. But that night it was just so hot, and despite the fact we ate at home to save money I desperately wanted a … [Read more...] about How to Spend Money to Save Money

Your Guide to Saving Money to Travel the World

I've been living in Germany for over a month now. I don't want to be cliche, but this experience has already been surreal.

What you need to know: I work for myself (I'm a full time blogger and looooove it. Emphasis on love.) Michael quit his job. We brought … [Read more...] about Your Guide to Saving Money to Travel the World

How We Saved Money To Move Abroad

When Michael and I got married our first order of business was getting a dog. Okay and then immediately after that a house. We were living in a 625 square foot apartment (with a doberman) and saving every cent to buy a house. And we did it, in 6 months. It was hard but not that hard. Honestly, making small changes added up really quickly. We took the same approach when saving for Europe. But … [Read more...] about How We Saved Money To Move Abroad

How I Stay Motivated When I Feel Like Total Shit

This week has been really rough. Both of my dogs have casts from various scrapes and dog-like activity. Michael fell off his mountain bike last week and dislocated his shoulder, resulting in a very expensive and painful surgery culminating on Friday. Also his hunting trip that he's been planning for months was cancelled. He was supposed to leave yesterday. Now, you might ask, Helene that … [Read more...] about How I Stay Motivated When I Feel Like Total Shit

  • 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
