We fell in love with skiing when we learned in January and March 2018 and had been looking forward to getting back on the mountain for winter 2018/19. Having only spent 4 total days on the slopes last winter, we were able to dedicate 9 total days to skiing across two trips: one to Mittenwald, Germany during Christmas (3 days of skiing out of a 5-day trip) and another back to Alpbach, Austria in January (6 days of skiing out of an 8-day trip).

Our latest travel recap has taken you through our Austrian and German Alps trip (you can find all three parts of that here incase you missed it and are having regrets). When we traveled to Salzburg back in January to kick off the 2016 new year, we truly fell in love with the small city and wanted to see more of the area. As soon as we were home, we started planning to return in the summer! The Alps reminded us of our New England home. We used to really enjoy weekend getaways to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I think it's safe to say the Alps are little bit more crazy and intense but to be back in the fresh mountain air gave us a sense of peace.

While we weren't able to spend every day exploring Berlin, we got a solid 48 hours to take in as much as we could. For our first free evening we headed to Tiergarten to walk around, grab a bite to eat, and (unexpectedly) rent a row boat while the sun was setting. It got us in the perfect mood to wake up the next day (which also happened to be my birthday!) excited to learn about the deep history of the city. After spending most of our day on a walking tour learning so much, we took it all in as a starting point to decide which places and parts of the city we wanted to return to and see more during the rest of our stay. While it feels like we barely covered any of the city, we still feel like we go to really experience it. To learn more about what we did, hop over to this post.

We headed to Trier, Germany for a day during our three day weekend in Luxembourg City back in late May. In case you missed it, you can find our recaps here and here! We really enjoyed visiting such an old city in Germany with Roman ruins still in tach to wonder through. It made walking around and taking in the sites a truly unique experience. Germany is one of those countries we haven't gotten to explore too much but with this day trip to Trier and our recent trip to Berlin (post coming soon!) we are really starting to fall in love. I can see us coming back for more and hopefully soon!
