Neuschwanstein Castle: When travel Disappoints You
I may have spent more time in Germany than any other foreign country. It’s an easy transport place and there’s so much to see there. I really admire the people there, the strong economy, and the language. I spent some time years ago digging into family history connected to Charlemagne in the North of the Country, took a look at the Berlin Wall and ex-Nazi relics in Berlin ( I’m back in my Nazi fighting Indiana Jones adventure hat!) In the early days of my travels, I drove the Autobahn in the Rhine River Valley. Now driving on the Autobahn at high speed just feels normal. But in all of…

An Ostrich’s Quest for Culture
You can come out now. That’s my message to this little ostrich (however not so little she may be!). Why the crazy ostrich? Well, I hate to break it to you but– you see– we/us/you and I . . .

I myself used to be someone with this attitude. My hope for all of these singles that just want to have fun is that someday they meet someone special enough to change their mind. I married…

Onward! To the land of Belfries, Castles, & Medieval Towns: Backpacking in Europe (Round 2)
Several months of budgeting and eating “rice and beans” have passed to pay for this upcoming trip. I can’t believe that I am getting ready to head back to Europe this week! Have you ever wanted to travel to Europe? Where would you go and what sights would you want to cross off of your bucket list? Where is that one place that you have been wanting to go– that you’ve put off– because it “isn’t the right time”, “it costs too much money” or it “isn’t realistic”? What unnecessary, everyday, expenses could you eliminate to follow your dreams. We only get one chance to live, I’d like to encourage…
