Hitchhiking to Budapest!
The Journey Pretty much out of nowhere, Johana and I decided that we were going to try hitchhiking to Budapest for the week—and that’s exactly what we did! We had been talking about doing it together for some time. We had the week free from work at the castle, the weather was perfect, and Budapest…
Bernstein Castle
After our road trip , we made our way down to the south of Austria, where we have settled in here at Bernstein Castle! The plan is to spend the summer here, and so far, it’s looking to be a great start to the season! The estate is beautifully intact and rich with history. Each…
Euro Road Trip
What an adventure it has been these past few weeks. From a very heartfelt goodbye to our home in the north, to the south of France, the Tuscan countryside, Austria, Bavaria, and now a castle! Life is an adventure! Hamburg/Travemünde 🌊 Picking up from where I left off last. Johana and I made our way…
Until We Meet Again.
I’m writing this now on our final train ride to Hamburg. There, we have a rental car pickup, which we will use to drive across and explore much more of this beautiful continent. It’s been very melancholy these past few days. We’ve said goodbye to all our friends and colleagues here. We’ve packed all our…
Easter Week
Honestly, Easter week snuck up on me. As the old saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun. After arriving back from Düsseldorf a few weeks ago, Johana and I have been busy with our shifts at TSH, making plans for our upcoming road trip through Europe, and getting into new mini adventures! Hamburg-Gardens The…
Kaarster See

Knocking on Spring’s Door
Spring is almost here, and I couldn’t be happier! This winter in Germany has felt endless—so many dark days—but it’s had its own kind of magic. Now, I’m sitting here with the sun warming my face, surrounded by my plants, completely at peace. The birds are singing, and the world outside feels alive again. Our…
Exciting Times
We truly live in an unprecedented period in history. It’s honestly crazy to read the news and think about what is going on in the world. It feels like we are sitting on the edge of a third world war. Life, as we know it, is changing—and fast. The path that many of us thought…
Amsterdam
This was a small adventure that came out of the blue for us! My best friend proposed that we meet up in Amsterdam and hang out. I was instantly hyped to go; I had heard so much about this city, and the connection Pulp Fiction made to it always made it seem like a legendary…
Wintertime Deutschland
These past few months somehow topped the summer, which was already legendary. It’s been something of a fairy tale, honestly. Fresh off the plane from Levi, I arrive back in Hamburg. I’m still a mess from the shock that had just occurred days ago. I’m headed back to the hotel and to all my friends…
