ABOUT ME

My boyfriend (of 8 years), our amazing one-eared chocolate lab (named Chomper) and myself have made a home in the great central valley of California. We moved from the amazing coast with redwoods in my backyard to the great valley with citrus and nut trees everywhere.

Teach, Learn, Share

Okay, so as I travel around... I learn a little every where I go... (which is the point of traveling ;) ) But I thought I would start posting little tips....

Denmark: (Copenhagen) If you are traveling from Germany to Denmark. There is a special from Hamburg to Copenhagen for only 29€! (plus, the train drives onto the ferry! I was blow away!)
favorite place: Botanical Gardens... check out the palm green house. Has a staircase... so you can climb above and look down!

Lund, Sweden: bought a cheap train ticket from Copenhagen to Malmö but didn't get off the train! I am glad I didn't because Lund is what I was looking for. It is a college town with a fun downtown.

Hamburg, Germany: Hamburg is know for their harbors and of course there are really expensive harbor tours. But if you take U-Bahn or S-Bahn to Landungsbrücken and take the ferry 62. It is only 2.10€ or if you buy a day ticket for 5.10€ like I did the ferries are included! Awesome way to see the harbor for a low cost!

Berlin, Germany: FREE (English) walking tours in Berlin. Meeting point is at the Starbucks a 3 hour walking tour. The tour was full of information and really interesting!!!!
