Visiting Baumwipfelpfad Bavarian Forest Treetop Walk
Baumwipfelpfad Treetop Walk is 1,300 meters, which is about 4,265 feet, and is 25 meters or 83 feet above the tree line. This tree walk is shaped like an egg or oval, made out of wooden and metal reinforcements. The very top of this structure gives a breathtaking view of the forest, and on a clear day, the northern ridge of the Alps makes an appearance.
Tales: Bloganuary # 11 (Boldly Living Bourdain-ism)
The prompt for Day 11 of the Bloganuary challenge is “What does it mean to live boldly?” To live boldly generally means to live a life without reservations. I use the word reservation becaues it will forever remind me of Anthony Bourdain. A figure who has inspired me to travel and start a blog that…
Tales: Bloganuary (Road Trip Caribbean Style)
The prompt for day two of Bloganuary is “What is a road trip you would love to take?” If money was no obstacle and time was on my side, my road trip would be an exploration of the Caribbean by way of a sea vessel preferably a yacht , but I am sure if bridges…
Tales & Travel: Time Traveling to the Past
It’s 2022, and I found myself trying to take pictures like I used to, but I feel a bit unsexy and more body-conscious than usual. This isn’t a new thing for me, but that single act of trying to take a nice picture led me to look at all my old photos from 2007 until…
Travel: Exploring Trier’s Christmas Market
Last weekend, I, alone with an acquaintance, visited Trier, Germany. This blog is about this brief Saturday afternoon frolick throught Trier’s Christmas Market. It’s December, and I find myself in Germany, a country known for the most commonly understood stereotypical scenes of Christmas misery and bliss.

Travel: My Weekend in Iceland (The Land of Fire & Ice)
At the beginning of December 2021, I visited Iceland, and I was happy to report that I had checked it off my bucket list. While the term bucket list has become somewhat cliché in my world, I know that some places are more than a list to be checked off. Iceland is one of the…
Travel: Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona USA
During the last week of May 2021, I visited the Grand Canyon and planned on blogging about my experience there.

Tales: Flowers at a Palace
My favorite photos are always of flowers and plants for some reason. This was taken at Mirabell Palace in Salzburg, Austria. Plants and flowers are the only things in nature that are always photogenic; but never have to stop and pose, fix their face, or change their dress. They are just gorgeous naturally.
Tales: The End of an Evergreen Summer
It seems so clear, but it really isn’t. This picture was taken while hiking in Heidelberg. A wild strawberry bush in the dead of June. Making way for memories of a confusing summer, but ultimately letting us know that winter is coming. Are you ready?

My trip to Austria started with a 30-minute drive to Kaiserslautern, Germany, followed by a midnight 6-hour bus ride and early morning entrance into the 4th largest city in Austria.

Travel: Fun in Heidelberg
During my first month visiting Germany, I saw the town of Heidelberg near the Neckar River in southwest Germany. The highlights of this town are the historical areas such as the Heidelberg Palace, the Old Bridge, and Heidelberg Zoo. Heidelberg is also home to many universities and a romantic cityscape with narrow roads and thousands…
Travel for Food: Mannheim Germany
I have been away for almost a month, but even a travel food blogger has to take a break. Rejuvenized, I’m back and ready to review my most recent ventures in the city of Mannheim. While visiting Mannheim, I went on an eating adventure. As I foraged through the food landscape, I hit some incredible…
Travel: Exploring Hawaii
This is the last blog about Hawaii until my next trip back there. In this post, I want to touch on some of the memorable places I visited, starting with the Byoda-In Temple. The Byoda-In Temple was breathtaking and peaceful. The grounds of the temple are well-kept and reminded me of a fairytale. Then I…

I was lucky enough to spend a few days visiting a friend who now resides in Lanikai Hawaii. Through her, I was able to eat at a few spots she often raved about. First on the list was Over Easy, a renewed breakfast and brunch restaurant, followed by my first experience with Hawaiian shaved ice….
