    10 Favourite German Words (so far…)

    2020-02-29 / 1 Comment

    I’ve lived in Germany for 6 months now and have just finished up with my first German language course. Of course, during my time here, I’ve learned many new words and thought I would compile a list of my 10 favourite words so far! 1. Genau (English: Exactly) Not very…

    Some would say it is pointless visiting a German town/city on a Bank Holiday or a Sunday, but for us it is perfect.  Fewer shops open means fewer people and a much calmer experience walking around the city.  We catch the train up for a mere €36, and the train…

In an attempt to be more German, I even brought beers along! Except I didn't bring a bottle opener and cut both my hands trying to open them. So I guess I'm not fully integrated just yet... 

At least the views were all worth it 😍 

Thanks for the company @_house_of_figs 💕

Truth is I was meant to be playing tour guide for our British visitors but I got distracted. What can I say, a Sagittarius always brings main character energy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Eibsee Rundweg 😍 If you're visiting this beaut Eibsee Rundweg 😍

If you're visiting this beautiful area of Bavaria, I highly recommend taking this 7,2 km leisurely hike around this vividly turquoise lake.

Featuring forest, lake, and mountains, what more do you want from an afternoon out?! When you're finished, the cable car to the top of Zugspitze is right next door if you fancy a serious change in altitude 🗻 

📍 Eibsee, Grainau, Bavaria

Honestly the worst part about having covid is not Honestly the worst part about having covid is not being able to go outside and touch some grass. Fever, fatigue, endless coughing and shortness of breath aside, of course.

You better believe next week ima be running around like a wee little hobbit on an adventure 😄 (swipe for actual footage of me in the coming days)

My excitement for the coming week is three-fold:

☝️ Going to Berlin for a fun team event with my lovely colleagues.

✌️ Meeting more "strangers off the Internet" IRL sorry mum.

🤟 Mr Steffi comes home after a long ol' 2 weeks in Sweden AND we get our next lot of British tourists on the same day!

How wholesome and lovely 😊

Last week I did Augsburg ➡️ Berlin ➡️ Hamb Last week I did Augsburg ➡️ Berlin ➡️ Hamburg ➡️ Augsburg in 48 hours. I barely saw anything but here's how it went down✌️

I socialised so much my anxiety boiled over and I can't get it back in the pot so excuse me while I hide from the outside world for a while and retreat to the Internet and books for comfort 🥰

(and for reference, I did not use the €9 ticket for any of this travel because hun honestly if work are paying then I'm taking the ICE 💁🏻‍♀️)

Weekend photo 💩 We had so much fun showing Mr Weekend photo 💩

We had so much fun showing Mr Steffi's sister around Bavaria. We visited Augsburg, Munich, Dachau, and our favourite parts of the northern Romantic Road 🥰

Now to try and rest and recharge my activity batteries until our next visitors appear in July!

It turns out the rumours are 100% true - when you do something for a living, the last thing you want to do at the end of the workday is put effort into your own “thing”.

Also, I’m working freelance on the side of my full-time job and, well, I like money so I chose to prioritise that work instead of Instagram. 

But I’ve been stalking everyone’s posts when I have time and have loved seeing and hearing people’s thoughts and opinions! I particularly enjoyed posts from @rory_in_trip and my new connection @sojaninechristie especially her #Play video with @janeordaz ✨💞

Anyway have this sweet photo Mr Steffi took of me at Eibsee last week 🤗
