Stuttgart Karlshoehe Fall Foliage

Stuttgart’s prettiest season is upon us!  Fall foliage is here, and you don’t want to miss it!  It will get even more colorful over the next few weeks, but I wanted to snap some pictures this weekend while we had the chance.  These are from the Karlshöhe! If you aren’t familiar with the Karlshöhe, it is a large hill in Stuttgart Süd that holds a bunch of playgrounds, sand volleyball courts, Stuttgart’s prettiest biergarten and gorgeous walking paths.  The paths are beginning to change colors so make sure to check it out asap! Let’s go! Similar beret, my favorite jeans […]

Enchanting Forbidden Fruit

If you didn’t catch word, my favorite (free!) activity these days is wine hiking! Also known as vineyard walks or Weinwanderung in German.  Untertürkheim is our starting base and only a 10 minute S-bahn ride away from downtown Stuttgart.  You basically walk up the big vineyard hill behind the town and from there, go exploring!  The routes are endless.  By the end of our hike I’ve already plotted another route to take next time. 🙂 So this weekend we were walking through the vineyards, you know, as we normally do and we then stumbled upon a little apple tree grove […]

Autumn Wine Wandering and Besen Stops

Autumn is my absolute favorite season, and Stuttgart is stunning in the fall.  The air turns crisp in the morning and evenings, we get spectacular sunrise and sunsets, I light candles every night for dinner, and am most inspired in the kitchen whipping up cosy meals of butternut squash, sage, sweet potatoes, and all of the savory goodness!  My favorite fall weekend activity is walking through the vineyards around harvest time and we did just that this weekend in the town’s surrounding Stuttgart, with some Besen stops mixed in for extra fun! We are so lucky to live in and […]

Stuttgart Musings – Late Summer

Ciao ciao friends!!!  Since the epic Sardinia vacay, we celebrated David’s birthday in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Montenegro with friends, took a week back in the States for my brothers wedding (!!), and have been hanging around Stuttgart.  I started thinking that I rarely post about my daily life in Stuttgart, and need to change that asap.  Here’s a look into my daily musings around our city! Walking through my neighborhood, I tried to capture some of my favorite buildings.  The south side of Stuttgart has more historical buildings, while the north towards the Hauptbahnhof has much more modern […]

USA

My Favorite Charleston Restaurants

Charleston is no doubt a foodie heaven, which is one of the (many) reasons it takes the cake for my favorite city in the US… and tied with Paris as my favorite in the world. 😉  With absolutely delicious, local restaurants everywhere you turn, sunshine and salty breezes, pastel buildings and palm trees, a happening downtown and three distinct beach towns, Charleston really has my heart! If you didn’t know,  we lived in Charleston before moving to Stuttgart.  We recently spent a week back in the Holy City so I figured I’d round up my favorite restaurants for y’all.  There […]

Asia, Singapore

An Evening in Singapore

Hello friends!!  I finally want to tell you all about our anniversary trip to South East Asia.  We spent 10 days in Singapore and Bali and wow, what a trip!  We finally were able to explore every day and also  r e l a x .  Southeast Asia really abounds with gorgeous natural beauty, we found the people to be extremely friendly, and the cherry on top is it’s generally cheap by western standards!  But before I share all about our fabulous anniversary week in Bali, I wanted to share our time in Singapore first! SE Asia is a bit […]

What to Do in Marrakech, Part 2

Marrakech was one of my favorite places we’ve visisted and was bursting with hospitality, colors, and sights to see.  This post is a continuation of what to do in Marrakech, Part 1. Stay in Different Riads I highly recommend you stay in a few different riads when you visit Marrakech.  They become your mini paradise in the city and I wanted to make sure we could experience a few different styles.  There are so many gorgeous riads online, the hardest part will be choosing only a few to stay in!  We settled on Riad Yasmine and Riad Joharra, because I couldn’t […]
