Officially a German Resident

No matter what country you're in, long work weeks after fun vacations are always tough! We could barely drag ourselves out of bed each morning and, after working late a few nights, we spent most evenings being total couch potatoes. In a way, I think that's the beauty of Vitality Abroad. It's living life, realistically,... Continue Reading →

“New York is Never a Bad Idea”

On posters, t-shirts, and Pinterest boards all across the US you might see, "Paris is always a good idea." Well, the European equivalent is, "New York is never a bad idea." Seriously. Whenever I've told people that I'm from the States they say, "OMG! I've been to New York City once and it was so... Continue Reading →

Another Temporary Home

One full month down! Where does the time go?! I spent most of the last week panicking about where we are going to live after our one month stay ended in our apartment. And I think Taylor spent most of the last week worrying about me worrying. Yea, we were a little bit of a... Continue Reading →

I will scour every clearance aisle before ever paying full price and I will deal with a less than convenient bag if it means saving a couple hundred bucks. My backpack was an Ebay bargain buy for $20. It’s a 20-year-old, top-load, men’s hiking... Continue Reading →

Exploring Our City

Thank God for long weekends! We finally got a chance to explore Nuremberg a little more over the past weekend. On Saturday we went into the city with absolutely no agenda, which is my favorite way to see a new city because your options are endless. We got off the subway in the middle of downtown...

Our First Week

It's hard to believe we've already been here for a week! It's been quite the whirlwind already. Our first apartment was a very quaint, creaky, little flat in a 200 year old building right in the middle of the main strip in Fürth. Because it was so old, it had a lot of character. The doorways...
