This page features articles and a tour guide of places in Germany that you should visit. Articles include apsects of traveling from an expatriate’s point of view (including my pet peeve on the German Railways), while a tour guide features Christmas markets visited that are recommended (some of which are marked with TIP 🙂 ), as well as places in Germany that should be visited. This includes a section on Flensburg, where the column originated from and some interesting facts about the city by the border. Guest columns are marked with a g. The list is ongoing so stop back here on occasion if you want some ideas on where to go and what to be aware of while travelling. 🙂
