This past May we made our Disney dreams come true with our family’s first trip to Disneyland Paris. Disneyland Paris is the only Disney in Europe, located just outside of the city of Paris.

However, we were desperate to have a true ‘beach break’ this summer. We also wanted to take advantage of […]

This past Easter vacation we found ourselves with a four-day weekend and nowhere to travel to. Travel within Germany is still not allowed – hotels and Airbnbs are closed for tourism – and leaving the country is complicated, between PCR tests and quarantine regulations. Therefore, we had to look closer to our hometown of Berlin […]

JC and I have now flown twice to Thessaloniki in the last two months to relax and enjoy warm weather, amazing Greek food and beautiful beaches. With Greece being one of the only countries in Europe not on Germany’s COVID-19 risk list, it is the perfect getaway during these unprecedented times. A beach vacation is […]

Traveling can sometimes be as stressful and tiring as it is fun and exciting. Long security queues, unpleasant airline personnel, overweight baggage concerns, traffic going to and coming from the airport. Add onto that COVID-19. Add onto that a 3-month old baby and you have an idea of how we felt leading up to our […]
