Back in February I googled “jobs museum munich” and found an job offer for the BMW Museum. At first I applied to be a tour guide, but because I had no tour guide experience at the time, it was recommended to me that I apply for the job at the Ticket and Information Counter, [...]

The other location that Philipp and I went to at Starnberg Lake is actually the location the lake is most famous for. On June 13, 1886 King Ludwig II of Bavaria was found drowned in the lake. Ludwig II was the king who had Neuschwanstein built, the castle that the Disneyland Castle is [...]

Philipp and I had a little bit of time off, so we decided to take a day trip to Starnbergersee (or Starnberg Lake). In a way it’s the Munich equivalent of Lake Tahoe as it’s about the same distance away, but it’s no where near as big as Tahoe.
We went to an Art Museum [...]

I thought it might be a cool idea to write a blog comparing Reno and Munich, my two homes.

So, for those of you who don’t know what one is, this, my friends, is a Leberkässemmel (which translates to “liver cheese sandwich,” but not one of those adjectives is correct!):

I don’t have much to say in this post, but I do have photos to share for those who like to look at them! The first picture is of Philipp and me as a few people have asked for a recent picture of the two of us! I think my boyfriend is just getting [...]

I don’t have much to do at the moment, so I guess I’ll go ahead a post a few pictures from the tours I’ve been doing. I work for New Munich Tours and do three hour walking tours of the inner city of Munich as well as the Beer Challenge, a tour specifically about [...]

So…I guess that celebrating took a little longer than I thought…a week has gone by! No, I didn’t party for a whole week, I’ve just been really busy lately. Four things I’ve been up to:
I got into the Master’s program (as you can read below)
