well, it's official - keith and i are heading across the pond later this year. while i've been very fortunate to travel internationally since i was a little girl, this is keith's first time overseas - which as you can imagine, makes it extremely exciting for me as well. the fact that i will get …
throwback travel thursday
"traveling. it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller." wow, it's only been a few days since i've been back from my vacation and i'm still thinking back to each and every moment of the trip. i guess that's truly what it's all about, creating those moments. that's really why i created this …
re-wine-d wednesday
in honor of my day trip to paris last week, i'm dedicating this re-wine-d wednesday to a lovely wine that we had in the city of lights. the best part, it was the featured house wine from the cute restaurant we stumbled upon walking to notre dame called 'l'annexe'. i mean how can you beat …
adventure is out there
what is life but one grand adventure. i think this quote says it all. and today as i started out on my last run over here in germany it really hit me that i've had this amazing privilege to be in this beautiful place. every step was a new journey, a new road to take. …
all the wein
just because i'm across the pond doesn't mean i'm not going to write my (pretty much) weekly wine recommendation. so since i am currently in germany, i wanted to feature a german wine (or wein). the wine we've been drinking has reminded me a lot of a pinot noir, light but just a little …
the city of lights

munster farmers market
there is one thing i've learned since arriving in germany and that is they love food. and i don't blame them, it's absolutely delicious. a few days ago we went to the munster farmers market and whoa the selections they had. from meats to cheese, bread and bratwurst...there was something for everyone. one of my …
running through handorf
well, my first full day in germany has come and gone. man does time fly and did it fly during my run today. i mean just because i'm overseas (on vacation) doesn't mean i can slack on my training for my half marathon. with it being less than a month away, this is probably the most …
hello europe
hello from the other side of the pond. crazy to think just a few hours ago i was waiting to board the plane to amsterdam. it surely hasn't hit me yet that i'm actually in europe (and i most certainly haven't adjusted to the time). but the adventures begin. next up: train ride to germany until …
europe suitcase challenge
this upcoming trip to europe has been about a year in the making. my best friend and i (along with her family) are finally traveling to germany TODAY. excited is a complete understatement to describe how i'm feeling. so a few months ago, we both decided to challenge each other to just pack a carry …
