Have you ever been to a Christmas market in Germany? If so, where did you go and which is your favourite? Whenever I’ve spoken to people about going to a Christmas market in Germany, the big cities like Munich, Berlin or Hamburg are always mentioned.

When I started planning what we could do around Lindau, I was over the moon to notice that the Käseschule Cheese School in Thalkirchdorf was only a 20-minute drive away. I booked places online for all three of us a few weeks in advance. The short journey to Thalkirchdorf took us through beautiful forests, rolling […]

Whenever I go back, I always get the urge to discover new things and see Düsseldorf through the […]
Social media – The good and the bad You might have read my last blog post about how social media can open up a whole new world – whatever your age! If you’re interested in travel, social media can be a great way to get ideas and form impressions about thousands of destinations. Since finding […]
Lake Constance – Germany’s Riviera Despite having travelled extensively around Germany, we had never been to Lake Constance. The area isn’t called Germany’s Riviera for nothing! With its stunning scenery and mild climate, there really is nothing not to like! When we planned holiday, we wanted to include something a little bit different. We […]
