Today features the last installment of my favorite travel photos! Today we’re visiting Morocco, Iceland, Italy, France, England, South Africa, and Germany.
GERMANY
Shocked in Germany
I write this knowing exactly how ridiculous and unfounded it is—but for as long as I can remember I’ve had a particular bias against Germany and Germans (said by a girl whose ancestry is hugely German). I have always disliked the language, have thought of Germans as harsh and cold people, and haven’t had any

Foodie Friday: Krappelchen mit Puderzucker
One of the many wonderful things to do when visiting Christmas Markets in Europe is stuffing your face with every variety of food imaginable. I tried to taste it all–wursts, glühwein, potato pancakes, etc. You name it–I tried it. When I was making my way around a Christmas Market in Dresden, I spotted a booth

Frankfurt am Main
If you’d asked me before my recent trip to Frankfurt, I would’ve guessed that it was a larger city than Köln, but it is in fact the fifth-largest in Germany (just after Köln). Still, it feels much larger and more city-like to me. To be honest, that’s not necessarily a great thing in my book.

GERMANY
Kölner Dom
The first real stop on my European roadtrip was to Köln (Cologne). Köln is Germany’s fourth-largest city and is home to the Kölner Dom, or Cologne Cathedral, which was the main purpose of my visit. (There’s much more to Köln than the Dom, but I plan to save that for the World War II tour I’m hoping to

European Road Trip Roundup
I am home from my first-official European Road Trip, and I have to say, it was one of my favorite trips ever. Here are a few iPhone photo highlights from the journey.
