***Warning: This is depressing.*** Dachau was a concentration camp set up in 1933 by Heinrich Himmler for political prisoners (journalists, Communists, Socialists and anyone against the Nazi party). In 1938 the camp became the first of many concentration camps used during WWII and was liberated by American forces in 1945. Heinrich Himmler was the Chief…

I spent my time in Munich at museums
Having just come from Berlin, I didn’t expect Munich to be sooooooooo much hotter! AC is not very popular here except for cooling the beer, so I spent my time in museums to stay cool. I went to the BMW Museum, Bavarian National Museum and the Pinakothek. In the middle of my museum going I treated myself…
Berlin. Berlin. Berlin.
I don’t really do a lot of research about a place before I go. I tend to throw things out to my Facebook family and go off of suggestions from fellow travelers. I knew Berlin was famous for the Berlin Wall and for the nightlife, but I had no idea as to the extent that…
I learned how to do my own graffiti and it was AWESOME!
I have been on quite a few graffiti tours around the world, but I have never had the luxury of heading into a warehouse and trying out my hand at my own piece. The Alternative Street Art tour in Berlin let’s you do just that! Graffiti is 100% illegal in Berlin however, there are only…
My last stop in Greece…Heraklion
After almost two weeks in Greece it was time for one final stop in one of the largest cities…Heraklion. After moving around a bit and going out more than usual, I just wanted to relax and recharge my batteries and stay of the sun! We were staying at a hotel about 30…
Santorini for the second time
When I went to Greece last year and went to Santorini, I found it to be quintessential Greece. It is everything you think of when you think of Greece; blue and white! My friend and I ended up staying at this great hostel/hotel just a 3minute drive outside of town called Caveland. This was an…
Mykonos
The Greek Islands have anywhere from 1,200-6,000 islands depending on what you consider an island. As you can imagine, deciding which ones to actually go to can be a daunting task. There are some major islands that most people and cruises go to and Mykonos is one of those. I heard it was a bit of a…
Athens during the referendum
I went to Athens last year and did all of the touristy stuff so when I went again this year I took the time to relax and do laundry and regroup. What I didn’t know when I booked the trip is that I would be there smack dab in the middle of a huge financial…
Naples and Pompeii
I have been fascinated by Pompeii or rather the destruction of it since I can remember. I was already in Rome, and Naples is just an hour train ride away and the perfect jumping point to go see Pompeii. I was told to stay away from Naples because it was dangerous and dirty and not…
