How to Find Cheap Flights to Europe
Sep 19, 2017

Since living in Germany, flying to America and back has been a priority for me so I can still see family and friends.  However, if I had to pay $1,500/ticket each time, it would not be feasible to travel as often. Thankfully, I've found a way to get to America and back to Germany (and other parts of Europe), for just $350 round-trip. Too good to be true?

The Camera Gear I Always Have in My Bag
Jul 12, 2017

My camera goes with me everywhere, I mean everywhere. So, when picking out the right camera, lens, and equipment I wanted to make sure I was absolutely certain before making such a big investment. Also, having lightweight gear was at the top of my list because of all the traveling I do (and who wants to have a sore neck?).

5 Healthy Ways to Prepare for an International Flight
Mar 14, 2017

As much as I love traveling and seeing new places, the thought of being on a plane for 7+ hours always gets me.  Thankfully, now that we live in Europe our flights are typically much shorter than before, but we still have a few long hauls each year.  In order to feel my best and recover the quickest, I always try to incorporate the below tips & tricks.  Although I might still be a bit jet-lagged, I am feeling much more fresh and ready for my adventure ahead of me! Hope you enjoy.

Train or Car When Traveling Germany?

Train or Car When Traveling Germany?
Feb 15, 2017

When we moved to Germany this was one of the first questions we asked ourselves: "Should we travel by train or by car during our time in Germany and Europe?"

After a lot of research, asking a few European friends, and weighing out the pros and cons, we came up with what works best for us when it comes to traveling through Germany.  Sharing with you the pros and cons of each and how we made our decision!

As the Southeast has shutdown for a “snow storm”, FB kindly reminded me that two years ago today @michaelsommers and I went car camping and woke up to this magical, winter wonderland. 😍Granted, I did catch the flu later that week... I’m still convinced that was just a coincidence. Either way, if you find yourself in Germany during the winter, these mountains are worth a quick visit (perhaps just don’t sleep in your car). 🗻🌲
Swooning over @po.mkt and wondering why I haven’t visited this precious, little shop sooner. It’s the best spot if you’re looking for gifts, natural beauty products, fun t-shirts, and all sorts of things. 💫
⛰This weekend is making up for starting 2019 with the stomach flu and being stuck in the house for one too many days.

We got to celebrate one of our favorite human’s birthday, explore Asheville and all its hippie goodness, woke up to catch the sunrise in the Blue Ridge Parkway, and finally we got to show off Max Patch to our German. At least the first weekend of 2019 was much better than my first few days 😉
Merry Christmas from our little Sommers clan. 🎄💫
Had a rare DIY moment and made “Dried Orange Garland” for our kitchen window 🍊🌿 If you’re looking for an inexpensive and easy holiday décor piece (that smells lovely, too) here’s all ya need:
— 2 large oranges sliced 1/4”
— Pretty twine
— Parchment Paper
Heat your oven to 250°, slice your oranges and pat dry, lay the slices evenly on a baking sheet, and bake for 3 hours. Flip them about 1.5 hours.
These two have my heart big time. 🎄❤️ Now that our house is getting in the full Christmas Spirit, any cheesy holiday movie recommendations? We are on babysitting duty tonight and I figured it’s the perfect time to watch out first Christmas movie of the year 💫
