Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg: a food lover’s paradise Whenever we’re on holiday or I’m out discovering places for my website and community, I try and avoid succumbing to a fast food break. Food is such an important part of my life that it feels like I’m cheating myself if I don’t take my time over […]
Hooray! It’s summer in the UK and that means holidays, sun cream, sunglasses, al-fresco dining and pub gardens. But do you know what Germans like to do on those long hot summer days?

Düsseldorf’s hidden gems As well as the well-known areas of Düsseldorf, I wanted to discover some of the up and coming trendy areas.

North Rhine-Westphalia – or rather a village close to Düsseldorf and conveniently near to Düsseldorf Airport used to be my home. People from the area along the River Rhine are cheerful and optimist by nature and I would certainly describe myself as a glass half full kind of girl – most of the time! Easy […]
As you might already know, we as a family love travelling around Germany. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the UK’s stunning countryside and I’ve already been to many beautiful places since I’ve been living here. However, it’s often true that we never get around to visiting the interesting places right on our doorsteps. […]
For most of us, our holiday is the most important and precious time of the year. If we’re working full-time, we might only get 4 or 5 weeks’ leave a year – no wonder we put so much pressure on ourselves to get it right when planning a holiday. After spending several weeks planning and […]
