Cairo | Egypt: Safety and other frequently asked questions

Cairo | Egypt: Safety and other frequently asked questions

One of the major perks of living in Germany is not only the proximity to all of Europe/Africa but also, the amount of holidays we get. And for Easter, we got both the Friday and Monday off to make a perfect little 4 day weekend. We've learned never to waste a long weekend, because within those 4 days, you can experience the most amazing things in the world... and this time we really did. 

Cairo, Egypt. Just two - 2 hour flights away (with a quick layover in Istanbul).

Our 1st Year in Germany - Favorites from around the World

Our 1st Year in Germany - Favorites from around the World

Only one year after packing up our lives in Boston, US to move to Nuremberg, Germany we have checked quite a bit off of our bucket list so far. Now if anyone knows us, they know that we LOVE trying new foods, new restaurants, new drinks, new food markets... can you see a trend here? So I thought the next best "Year in Review" post should be all about our favorite restaurants, bars and food markets.

Living in Germany - Our 1st Year in Review

As of February 16th 2016, we have hit our 1 year German-iversary! And with this big milestone, I am hoping to write a few blog posts reviewing some of our favorite moments. (favorite travel destinations, favorite restaurants, etc).

But for today, I'm going to start with some of our learning experiences.

The Pares Family European Tour

The Pares Family European Tour

In October my amazing family (minus Jeffrey, Kristen, Ryan and Talia) came to visit us in Europe. As they've only visited Italy in the past, they decided to do an extensive European tour (in just two weeks!). My parents started in London, then onto Amsterdam, Brussels, Brugges, and then ended their guided tour in Paris where the rest of us "kids" came to join.

SPAIN | Mallorca: Ca's Patro March, the restaurant on the sea

Ca's Patro March. Heaven. This restaurant was so unbelievable that it deserves its own blog post. This view.. with the sounds of the waves against the rocks all while eating the freshest seafood... we could have eaten here every day and I would have been perfectly happy.

SPAIN | Mallorca: Exploring the Island

SPAIN | Mallorca: Exploring the Island

We arrived in Mallorca on a late Monday night after spending the weekend in Barcelona. Prior to the trip I did some researching to get an idea of how we should spend our days.  The island is quite big, on the west coast you will find the Tramuntana Mountain Ridge along the water and on the right side more calm beaches and coves.

SPAIN | Barcelona Day 3

SPAIN | Barcelona Day 3

On the list for our last day in Barcelona we did our own food tour at Mercado de La Boqueria, and then we visited La Sagrada Familia and Casa Batllo. Knowing how much eating we would be doing at the food market, we started the day at Reebok Crossfit Barcelona.
