weekend warriors // an introduction to berlin
In March, 44 days after Trump was sworn-in as president, we had a mini weekend introduction to Berlin. These might seem unrelated, but, I assure you, they’re not. On this particular weekend, visiting the former seat of the Third Reich and home to another paranoid fascist felt fitting. We arrived on the same day he accused Obama (over Twitter, of course) of wiretapping his phones. Two days later, he signed a new executive order. This time, he was reinstating the travel ban and suspending the refugee program in the US. Despite the fact that this was my first visit, and…

munich’s oktoberfest for the post-collegiate
When we were in college and the hubs was studying abroad in Nice, he sent me an email saying that he was going to Munich’s Oktoberfest with a few friends. Hearing from him during this weekend away was unfathomable, as these were the days before smart phones, FaceTime, and Snapchat. Lo and behold, on a Saturday afternoon in September, my dorm room phone rang and there he was. Entirely unintelligible, calling me from the phone booth in his hostel, via calling card. I don’t remember much of the conversation. I only know there was a lot of slurring, a lot…

germany: more than just beer steins & lederhosen!
While the start of autumn in the states means pumpkin spiced lattes and the reintroduction of oxblood & aubergine into every girl’s wardrobe, it’s a little bit different in Europe. In Europe, it means one thing: Oktoberfest. I’ve seen no shortage of posts going around on how to make the most out of your time in the tents and things not to miss in Munich (you know, aside from all of the beer), but what about your plans for before and after you binge drink the day (and night) (and probably day again) away? Explore more of Germany! Though Berlin…
