About

Hi there! I’m Lena and I write about life and travel adventures in Germany. It took me four years of living abroad to realise how beautiful and interesting my home country actually is, and I hope I can spark your interest in Germany with this blog, too. You can find out more about me here.

Glad you're here!

You can support this blog by buying me a coffee. I'm writing all my articles in my free time, fuelled by a lot of caffeine. If you find my articles useful or just entertaining, I'd appreciate a small donation. Thanks!

If I didn’t appreciate small and simple moments like this - a sleeping toddler, sunshine on my face, five minutes of silence and solitude - I think I’d go crazy sometimes. 🥴

“Obrunnschlucht” - a beautiful forest gorge in “Obrunnschlucht” - a beautiful forest gorge in the Odenwald with a fairytale trail. 👸🏼✨🌲 

Not pictured: a tired 1-year-old ready for her nap, a grumpy 5-year-old, who’s fallen over tree roots, and two exhausted parents, dragging a handcart on a non-accessible route. Learning the hard way that some things will just be easier when they’re older. 🫠

A windy walk on the Gruffalo trail, rewarded with A windy walk on the Gruffalo trail, rewarded with coffee, lemonade and a stunning view across the Rhine valley and Bergstraße region. 

We had a big Gruffalo phase earlier this year and went on this trail almost every other day when we had just moved to Weinheim. Of course it was winter then, the trees were bare and my fingers got freezing cold from peeling tangerines for the kids. It was a difficult time, as it always is with big changes and adjustments, but I’m also grateful for it and those small moments we cherished. 🍊

Accidentally colour-coordinated 💚❤️🩵 Accidentally colour-coordinated

Yesterday I passed by a skinny, long-haired, blonde boy in his teens, engrossed in what seemed to be a “guess the song” game with his greying dad. And for a fleeting moment it felt like having a glimpse into the future with my own son, all grown up, playing a silly game with his dad. Such a weird but wonderful occurrence. 😅 Has anything like that ever happened to you before?

They say going on a holiday with kids is just parenting in a different location. I say it’s still a memory-making occasion despite the occasional frustration.✌️
