One of the nice things about having family that lives far away is that it provides excellent reasons to travel.

It’s always such a treat to be able to visit my family in Germany. It’s tough not being able to see them very often, but it’s always so special when I do.
And while I don’t tend to visit very many tourist attractions, I get to live and soak in the culture. I get to establish memories and remember where I used to love buying chocolates, or go walking with my grandmother, or where I went for a boat ride when I was younger. A world away from home, but in a way, still home. A part of my history that has made me who I am today.

While I have been to Germany a fair number of times, and while often my travels take me to the same places to see family, this trip I am also visiting Switzerland for the first time!
Georgeous Switzerland
It’s about time I visited my sister, who has been studying here. It’s a short trip, but a fantastic one, and one that will, for sure, inspire more posts!
Yez sometimes I thought i was so lucky to have them in aboard 😊

I’d like to go to the Harry Potter school, although I haven’t watched the vids, so I might change my mind if I did. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-2856111/Harry-Potter-Polish-castle-gets-set-host-Harry-Potter-role-play-event.html
