Post-corona travel: Everything you need to know and extra items to pack

I realise I’m very lucky to currently live in Germany, where corona hasn’t been as much of an issue (currently anyway), as it is to other parts other the world, including my home country, the United Kingdom. At the weekend we were fortunate to be able a weekend break to the Netherland’s beautiful city of Maastricht (watch this space… my blog is coming soon!), with … Continue reading Post-corona travel: Everything you need to know and extra items to pack

Can you live in Germany, if you don’t speak German?

A lot of people ask me this, and the answer is pretty simple. Yes – you can, but it would be to what extent you want to embrace the culture of where you live. Living in the city of Dusseldorf for the past 6 months and speaking little to no German (with every intention of trying to learn – which I think is a good … Continue reading Can you live in Germany, if you don’t speak German?

An expats guide to ‘Vegan Germany’: The best substitutes and alternatives

It was back in November 2019 that we moved to Dusseldorf, Germany, to the land of sausage, snitzel and beer – I couldnt have been more excited. It goes without saying that both myself and my boyfriend, Chris, really embraced the Christmas markets (you can read more about these in my blog) with copious amounts of mulled wine drank. However, after all the festivities were … Continue reading An expats guide to ‘Vegan Germany’: The best substitutes and alternatives

E-scooters in Düsseldorf, Germany: Which brands to use and everything you need to know

I’m possibly the biggest adcovate of e-scooters you could meet, having recently moved to Germany they were all very new to me not so long ago and I must admit, at first I was a bit dubious. However, I kept seeing others on them and thought I’d see what all the fuss was about. As soon as I had a go I realised they’re SO … Continue reading E-scooters in Düsseldorf, Germany: Which brands to use and everything you need to know

Munich: Where to go, what to see, and all the best bits

Munich… where do I start? We stayed four nights in this beautiful city, and I was so pleasantly surprised (I don’t know why as I had no prior opinion, or any thought) by what we found, I guess I had never heard anything good or equally anything bad about the city – just nothing at all, which is surprising given how amazing the city really … Continue reading Munich: Where to go, what to see, and all the best bits

The most impressive (and beautiful) buildings in Düsseldorf

After moving to Dusseldorf, Germany the start of December (2019), I’ve now had a bit of time to wander the city and admire the variety of architecture. Being the capital of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, it was part of the area that was heavily bombed in world war two and due to this is a real mix of old and new. From pretty … Continue reading The most impressive (and beautiful) buildings in Düsseldorf

Cologne Christmas Market 2019

I booked us last minute train tickets to Cologne to celebrate Chris’s 30th birthday and in turn check out the Christmas markets there – I’d heard such good things… and as we have only just moved to Germany it seemed right that we explore the local area with Cologne only a 20 minute train from Dusseldorf HBF. I have pretty high standards for all things … Continue reading Cologne Christmas Market 2019

9 Things to know before moving to Germany

When we decided to embark on our new adventure – moving to Germany, I was slightly apprehensive (and also very excited), but with it only being across the pond (from our home in the UK) and a 50 minute flight, I was optimistic on how easy it would be to move. Luckily we have had a relocation agency to help us along the way, but … Continue reading 9 Things to know before moving to Germany
