Basic Guide to Visit Germany
Getting to Germany The cheapest way to travel from the United States to Germany would be through international airports like ORD in Chicago or JFK in NY to any part of Europe and then fly from that city to your final destination in Germany. Often times, one can find cheaper prices when booking separate tickets and travelling through different countries. To give you an example, we flew from ORD to LHR in London for 350 USD round trip per person, from there we took another flight to DUS in Dusseldorf, Germany for 80 USD per person which totals 430 USD. If you were to book separate tickets our recommendations to enter Germany would be to fly into Hamburg, Berlin or Munich.

What to Watch Out for When Hiking
It is more than just wandering around aimlessly. It is more than just an excuse to get your steps in, or drawing a picture on the map of your exercise tracker. When you are out in nature, nothing around but the air and sounds of the woods and wildlife, it is peaceful and invigorating. You just have to be outside to be in nature, and be able to listen to yourself as it mingles with the world—the actual world. The world that matters. But, as beautiful as it is, nature can be subtly dangerous. Fatal even (not to sound like a horror movie trailer...). Be in tune with nature, but be careful. Know what to watch out for when hiking. To get all you can out of your hikes, know how to prepare. Aside from packing the right equipment for any given excursion, there are three things you should focus on if you wish to stay safe on, and return from, a hike.

Really, traveling to Indiana? Are you sure? Isn't it just all corn? Photo by Glenn Carstens-Peters on Unsplash Let’s be honest: Indiana does not sound like the greatest place for a vacation, or really any kind of travel.

Getting the Most Out of Washington DC
I have been dying to take my kids to Washington DC for a long time now. I was waiting for them to be at an age where they could really appreciate it. I loved touring Washington when I was a kid and I wanted to share that with my kids. The seat of our nation’s government with all of the history, museums, and monuments is something every family should experience once together.
