In February when I found out that I had passed my first two CPA exams, we immediately went ahead and booked flights back to Orlando for my final two exams for the end of May. It gave me a quick turnaround and the quicker I could get it over and done with, the better! Since … More USA – Orlando, Florida (II)
I had read on one of the food lovers pages on Facebook that there was an amazing Italian restaurant in downtown Kaiserslautern, owned by a German family that were extremely friendly. I had always wanted to go there, but it always seemed so inconvenient venturing into Kaiserslautern. We have just become lazy, preferring to visit … More Cardinale bei Skendo – Kaiserslautern, Germany
If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you may recall that only a few months ago we went to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. That was never the plan. I’d actually booked Garmisch for the first time for Valentines Day weekend – we were never meant to go in October. We enjoyed our time there so much though … More Garmisch-Partenkirchen (II) , Ski school , Dachau Concentration Camp – Germany
When we moved into our first house in Germany three years ago, our German landlords who didn’t speak any English showed us the cupboard that contained some yellow trash bags and that was our brief, non-explanatory introduction to recycling in Germany. While it seems overwhelming at first, through trial and error recycling the German way has … More Recycling in Germany
Our first trip back to the USA since moving to Germany came with much anticipation. Due to some ridiculous rules, I had to fly back to the USA to sit some exams. It was going to turn out to be the most expensive failure if I didn’t pass, but I had waited too long. It … More USA – Orlando, Florida
Singapore had always been on my to-do list, ever since a girlfriend and I planned a trip to Hong Kong while at university. Singapore was going to be a free stopover for that trip. Unfortunately, the trip didn’t pan out and we never got to go, but Singapore (and Hong Kong for that matter) always … More Singapore – Singapore
Ahh New Zealand. The trip back to my homeland was booked 10 months in advance and was eagerly anticipated from the day it was booked. If anyone knows me well by this stage, they will know I’m an over-planner when it comes to travel booking. I rarely leave anything to chance and I will spend … More New Zealand – Christchurch
After almost three years living in Germany, we finally visited an area that many people that we work/live around visit early on in their time in Germany. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a beautiful area in the Bavarian alps. I had never really felt drawn to the area, I saw it as somewhere to go if we were … More Germany – Garmisch-Partenkirchen
It would be terrible to live in Germany for four years and never make it to arguably the biggest event that Germany is known for. Oktoberfest. Every time I have said to anyone in New Zealand and Australia that we live in Germany, they’ve always asked, “Have you been to Oktoberfest?” Now we can say … More Germany – Munich & Oktoberfest
Milan. It wasn’t on our bucket list and wasn’t somewhere that we were dying to visit, but when a friend happened to be visiting Europe and that was the closest place we could visit them at, we thought why not! Even though we had just arrived back from Cinque Terre on the Monday, there isn’t … More Italy – Milan
