Munich, Germany

Munich was a fun stopping point from Fuessen on our way to Prague. Pablo had been there before and we really didn’t have anything on our list as must-see’s, just walked around the city a bit. The metro tickets in Munich were pricy! We arrived on a Saturday night and weren’t leaving until lunch timeContinue reading “Munich, Germany”

Fuessen, Germany

Our poor couchsurfing host in Fuessen. We changed our arrival time on him multiple times do to late trains during the day, missing connections and then missing the stop near his little village! One couchsurfing tip: Be willing to search for hosts right outside the area you’re looking for. This gentleman and his family livedContinue reading “Fuessen, Germany”

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a tiny little country, but the photos looked pretty and we talked to other friends of ours who said it was cute. We knew we only needed a couple hours there, and it was a perfect stop between Bruges and Fuessen so that’s where we headed from Belgium. My mom has an oldContinue reading “Luxembourg City, Luxembourg”

Bruges, Belgium

Bruges is beautiful. This was a destination not originally on my itinerary until speaking with a few friends who all highly recommended we include it. I’m so glad we did, it was my favorite stop of the whole trip! Bruges is a beautiful little town in Belgium. While most people visit Brussels, we opted forContinue reading “Bruges, Belgium”

Paris: Day Two

Our second day in Paris was the first of how the rest of the trip would go: full of rain. Versailles was on our list of places to see and we opted to visit there on Wednesday rather than Tuesday. Tuesdays at Versailles include a musical water show in the gardens which sounded super cool!Continue reading “Paris: Day Two”

Paris: Day One

We spent 2 days in the city of love and crammed a whole bunch into it! It started off to an exciting adventure by traveling on the Eurostar through the Chunnel from London. Tickets for this are available around 3 months in advance and I’d advise you book as early as possible! We saved aContinue reading “Paris: Day One”

London, UK

We flew into London Heathrow via Chicago-Dublin-London and it was our first stop in Europe. I was very happy that AerLingus didn’t make us check our backpacks at all but let us take them as carry-ons for our flights. This meant we didn’t have to wait for our luggage! Our flight landed at 12:30pm andContinue reading “London, UK”

20 Days in Europe Budget

We’ve had many people ask us about our budget for Europe and how we were able to afford such a big trip (check out our itinerary here). When I was going through the planning process for us, one of the things I found most helpful was budgets posted by other travelers for how much theyContinue reading “20 Days in Europe Budget”

RMNP- Flattop Mountain, Hallett Peak and Sunrise hikes (July 2014)

RMNP definitely is at a high altitude which can be tough coming from Nebraska. For this reason, we opted to have our first day spent hiking some simple lakes- which was a good plan. The next day we planned on tackling Flattop Mountain and possibly Hallett if we were still feeling up to it. KeepContinue reading “RMNP- Flattop Mountain, Hallett Peak and Sunrise hikes (July 2014)”

Obtaining Elite Rental Car Status- without renting

I’m continually learning new things about this free travel game and discovered an awesome surprise this weekend! One of my least favorite parts of travel is waiting in line for rental cars. Seriously, if I’m traveling for business I have to build in at least 1-2 extra hours when planning client meetings, just for gettingContinue reading “Obtaining Elite Rental Car Status- without renting”
