This may come as news to you but, besides being a full time blogger, I also moonlight (September-light?) as a tour guide at Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. It’s a REALLY TOUGH JOB that involves spending two whole weeks at Oktoberfest, drinking loads of delicious beer, dancing on benches, singing along with German songs I know […]
How to Squeeze in a Day Trip to Salzburg from Munich
Salzburg, Austria is known for many things. Like… well, how about… okay, so maybe Salzburg is known for just one major thing: The Sound of Music. It’s where the movie was filmed; it’s where the movie takes place; and it’s where I went this year to escape Germany’s Oktoberfestivities for a day. You know what’s […]
The Best Travel Photography Gear for Time-Budget Travelers
Updated: January 23rd, 2019 I’ve always been interested in photography and have a real desire to get better at it… but… I just don’t think it’s gonna work out.

My Wanderlusty Oktoberfest Recap
Updated: January 26th, 2019 CURRENT MOOD: Post-Oktoberfest depression. ☹️ 🙅🏻 💩 Who do I need to talk to about getting an emoji of someone in sweatpants laid out on the floor with a continuous stream of the hit 90’s sitcom Frazier playing in the background?
