In October, JC and I flew to Lima, Peru for the first time since the pandemic and Isabella finally met JC’s Peruvian family for the first time. October is technically spring in Peru (opposite hemisphere). However, the closer you go to the equator, the warmer it gets. For that reason, we decided to take a […]

This July we chose to make our summer vacation (and work-cation) in Crete, Greece. We absolutely love Greece; last year we flew to Thessaloniki twice and we even got in engaged in Kardamyli, Greece.

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 […]

Last year, JC and I decided that while living in Germany, we had to experience Oktoberfest in Munich at least once. I have a good friend living in Munich, so even better to show us the ropes. JC invited two of his closest friends from Dusseldorf to join us in the festivities. I bought a […]

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 […]

With COVID-19 and a brand new baby, summer travel looked impossible this year. We originally had flights to Malta at the beginning of September.
