I really have been repeating destinations on this European tour but every time I travel I meet more people and just want to visit them. This time a friend from West Hollywood moved to Berlin and there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to see him! You can see what…

The concentration camp that started it all…Dachau
***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…
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…
Everyone almost gets arrested in a foreign country…right?
I can only describe my day with a little play by play recap: – Get up and go to breakfast to meet my new travel friend Jenn to decide what museum to go to – Met some people from Tennessee who want to go to a castle about 30 minutes out of town by train…

This piece is by Bili Bidjocka and called Graces & Intentions & Graces. You can see pencils hanging from the painting…
Sushi in Germany?
Just because I am in a certain country, does not mean I have to eat the local food the entire time. Today I had a craving for sushi and found a great place with bottomless sushi! It was absolutely delicious and made me very happy. I haven’t totally strayed away from the German way. I…
Getting my feel for Frankfurt
I spent my first two days in Frankfurt walking around in the rain and taking in the sites and then going out with new hostel friends at night. I explored the city for about 6 hours with a traveler from Australia, and we literally would see a building we liked and head for it. We…
A traveling we will go
I am usually quite the planner. I like to know where I’m going and how I am getting there and what I am doing when I get there. This trip has made me throw that all right out the window! Now, I really just go with the flow. For the past few days I have…
An art filled day in Stuttgart
What do you do when you wake up and there are ominous clouds in the sky? Walk around a museum of course! I took myself to the Kuntsmuseum Stuttgart where the regular collection was closed but the two special exhibitions were open; Luisa Richter and Gego. I found that I was very interested in the…
