List the top 5 Cities You've Visited and Why.

This is SO hard for me because every destination is so unique, but I will do my best. First I love the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. This is a region, not a city, but it is one of the most beautiful areas I've been to in the world. Rolling hills, crisp air, and breathtaking landscapes.

Next I would have to say Amsterdam, a city I just visited earlier this year for the first time. The canals are charming and I could eat waffles, Dutch comfort food, and drink their amazing beer ALL day. The Dutch are so well dressed, kind, and lovely. Everything about this city hit the right note for me.

My favorite US city is San Francisco, which I think carries an amazing energy. I feel like San Francisco replenishes my soul in a weirdly awesome way. It definitely brings out my creativity and sets my mind ablaze with energy, ideas, and optimism.

I got married in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico and I absolutely love it for so many reasons. The great food, the people, the history, and of course the colorful buildings. This is such an overlooked city for charm and adventure.

Finally, I love Cairo, Egypt. It is a city of contrasts where camels walk next to cars, history sits amidst a modern urban scene, and pyramids rest behind tall buildings. Each person we met in Egypt, tour guide included, was extremely warm of heart and kind in spirit. Such a beautiful country, with even more beautiful people. More than the artifacts and amazing history we experienced, I will always remember that about Egypt.

Honorable mentions go Rome, New Orleans, Munich and Seville. And so many more. It is so hard to narrow these down."

What do you like doing in your spare time? 

I love spending time with my husband and dog. While not traveling I work full time in Public Affairs and still enjoy food, drinks, and lots of adventures on a local scale. I also love live music, graphic design, random humor, general nerd-ery, and politics.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one quality or ability, what would it be?

What a great question! I would pick excellent self discipline. I would be able to accomplish so many more things with that power!

I love new recipes, what is your favorite food to cook for lunch( or dinner)? 
I absolutely love making a big batch of chili and having it for lunch or dinner over the week. We always add lots of veggies, so its packed with good stuff. 

Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel or go camping in a tent?

I have to go with luxury hotel. I grew up camping, and it is a lot of fun, but I just couldn't pass up a luxury hotel! I love a little indulgence every now and then.

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
