Germany is a well-known destination for outdoor activities: from the snow-capped Alps to the Black Forest as well as hiking and cycling pretty much everywhere. But foreigners might think of Spain, Greece or the south of France first when considering beach spots. Rethink that attitude! Consider Rügen, the German island that is on My Must […]

If the impressive and lavish building pictured above looks familiar to you, it would not be too surprising. In fact, you would probably have to be living under a rock to not think it is recognizable. These days, the most common answer is probably that the building is Downton Abbey. While that is true, it

One of the things that is exciting about travel is that there can be unexpected finds. When I was a child it was always surprising that there was a small, nondescript building in our relatively small suburban town that manufactured batting helmets for baseball teams around the world. You never know what you’ll find or

A museum about tea, you say? In Germany, you say? The East Frisian Tea Museum hits almost all of the buzzwords that are guaranteed to get my attention. (If they somehow managed to tie pastry into the equation than I would, without a doubt, be a goner.) When we think of tea, we, arguably, tend

Munich’s annual Oktoberfest is arguably the largest and most well known people’s folk festival in the world. Each September millions of beer drinkers and revelers descend on the Bavarian capital city, an already popular tourist destination. They eat pretzels, they ride carnival rides, they wear Dirndl or Lederhosen and, of course, they suck down beer

I am not a fan of crowds — not at all. I am one of those people who goes out of her way to travel during the off-season, attend events on weekdays, arrive at opening time or pretty much anything else that will hopefully mean that I get to miss the crowds. At least as

Architecture. Art. Historic. Unique. There are certain words that will pique my interest quicker than a turkey gobbling in the neighbor’s yard will grab my dog George’s attention. One artful, historic, unique architectural wonder that’s always been on my mental “must see” list is Sagrada Família in Barcelona, Spain. It’s a one of a kind

It only took a single trip to the Bodensee (that’s Lake Constance in English) a couple of years ago for it to steal my heart. Or maybe it was the scenic train ride to and from Munich. Regardless, there’s so much to see, do and explore on and around the lake that’s nestled between Germany,

When you think of tea, you probably think of India, China, Japan or even Africa. But did you know that the United States has a single working tea plantation? Nestled on the charmingly small Wadmalaw Island, near Charleston, South Carolina, is the Charleston Tea Plantation. As a tea fan, it goes without saying that it’s

As I was reading the news online the other week, a story caught my eye. Apparently there is a forest overlooking the Bay Lough in Ireland’s Knockmealdowns Mountains that has rhododendrons growing so densely on it that a couple got lost and had to be rescued. The BBC reports that the rescue operation took five

Sometimes I think that traveling by train might be the best way to travel. There’s rarely any traffic congestion or stress from battling other drivers, you usually get a nice view out the window and it’s generally pretty comfortable. You can sit back and relax. Traveling by train has been a favorite since the introduction

When I think of Prince Edward Island, I think of Anne of Green Gables. I grew up reading Lucy Maud Montgomery’s series of books about a precocious red-headed orphan who was adopted, reluctantly, by an older brother and sister. (Or maybe it was my personal belief that Anne is only spelled properly with an “e”
