Abby's Abenteuer in Deutschland
new country, new family, new life
When I thought of Belgium before my Europe tour via wohnwagen (camper) started, I envisioned pommes (French Fries), and chocolate. I honestly had no idea what the country had to offer, and I was pleasantly surprised. We visited three towns in Belgium, each with its own surprises. Gent Gent surprised me the most out of...

My blog about Luxembourg will be about as proportionately long as the country itself. In short, we drove through the country on our way to France, and the entire country was one big traffic jam. I was in a gas station, but I failed to see anything remarkable or unique. I didn't even take a... Continue Reading →
On a very sunny, humid, and hot day in June, I went to my first Medieval Market clad in a floor length mideval style dress. Reagrdless of the heat wave that it became in the relentless midafternoon sun, Silas and I saw mock fights, ate nougat, and drank beer in medieval attire and fashion. I... Continue Reading →
France My time in France was short-lived, but full of witty anecdotes. We initially drove through a part of it while getting to our camp site (just over the German/French border on the German side) and this was where things started to go very wrong. I needed to pee. I hadn't peed in hours and,... Continue Reading →
Two adults, a teenager, and a dog set out in a camper to see Europe. This is that story. (Broken up into several posts). This is part one. Germany (The beginning) We started at home in Husum, Germany, packed for two weeks, and drove to Lüneburg, a town about 30 minutes from Hamburg, in Lower... Continue Reading →
Recently my boyfriend and I decided on a whim to take a weekend trip to Berlin. That is not the norm for us, as we normally plan our trips weeks in advance and save money specifically for the event. The whole idea for this getaway came about because Silas, afore-mentioned boyfriend, saw an advertisement for... Continue Reading →
The long-awaited second part of my fall break trip is here! This trip was simply massive. I saw so much in only a few days and writing about it has taken a long time. This time, we will be focusing on Köln, a city famous for its Karneval, liberal attitude, and acceptance-oriented mindset. Although I... Continue Reading →
Dänemark, as it is called in German, is only 42 minutes away from my home. That's a shorter drive than I would sometimes take to go out to eat or see a concert back in the US. Ever since I've come to Germany, it's been tantalizingly close and an ever-present subject on my to-do list.... Continue Reading →
Since arriving in Germany, I've been loving trying new things, whether it's food, sports, traditions, or even music. One of these things I did two weeks ago. Being raised on Fleetwood Mac and classical music, I've never gone to a punk rock concert before. So, when my boyfriend invited me to a one a few... Continue Reading →
Amsterdam is one of those cities famous in American cinema mainly for its unique architectural and liberal perspective. A city rich in history, you can see the Anne Frank house, serene canals, sex workers, and coffee shops all in one day. I never thought it to be a city I would go to, save to... Continue Reading →
