Quick Guide to Cannstatter Volksfest

October 20, 2016|Europe, Germany, Recent Posts|

Stuttgart’s Cannstatter Volksfest rivals that other festival in Munich, which also spans three weeks each fall and features vast quantities of beer and German drinking songs. It’s not quite as big as Oktoberfest, but I’m betting it’s every bit as fun. As a first-timer, I was glad a few locals gave me some guidance along the way. So, should you find yourself in Stuttgart in the fall, here is my quick guide to Cannstatter Volksfest. […]

January 14, 2016|Europe, France, Italy, Recent Posts, Reviews & Tips, Spain, United Kingdom|

One of the things that keeps me busy when Steve’s away on business is my book club. I’ve read so many great books I wouldn’t have without it. Our latest read, “Us” by David Nicholls is definitely my favourite so far this year. It mixes a tour of Europe with family angst and a huge dose of humour. It’s a book every traveller (and member of a family) can relate to. […]

Unforgettable Faroe Islands
