Hello friends! I am so happy that you are here. I am a California girl at heart, currently living in Germany, while my hubby Brad studies for his MBA, and writes his thesis in the company headquarters.  I have the wanderlust and I have it bad, so when the opportunity arose to live abroad, we took it. My little vegetarian, tropics-loving heart is struggling a bit in this world of beer halls and meat and winters and lederhosen. But, I have learned to embrace the culture of this beautiful country and attempted to find my niche (spoiler alert – so far it has been found in bakeries and hiking vineyards and at the Xmas markets). Follow my search for the best donuts, (not often successful), the most delicious pastries, the most beautiful hiking trails, and the best glass of bubbly. Join me on my adventures as I travel Europe, and the rest of the world, with my husband and best friend in search of the whimsical and wild.

Cheers! Na Zdorovie! Egészségére! Salud! Twoje zdrowie! I try to learn a bit of each language every place I go. Mainly, my takeaways have been the word for cheers. So, cheers to you and away we go!
