It was a great visit. We went to a wine festival, hiked through some very nice trails in Bonn, laughed at my inability to pronounce German names (ok, well, only one of us was laughing), and even made it to an amusement park! Well, I'll let the pictures do the talking for me:
cool cathedral in Bonn
wine country! We ended up at a wine festival in an old-west saloon (with confederate flags and everything, kind of strange). But we got to have this special young wine which hadn't fully fermented yet, so was extra-sweet, but not as strong. It was good, but apparently if you have more than a few glasses it messes with your stomach.
enjoying a nice hike through wine-country. Well, at least it was nice when it wasn't raining on us. . .
one night we went to a birthday party being held in a German fraternity. Fact: German frats are a lot fancier / cleaner / better-smelling than their American counterparts. This one even had a museum-style display room of old uniforms (pictured).
my favorite rollercoaster (fear and force) at Phantasialand. I got an amazing (and absolutely hilarious) picture of me and Coca on the rollercoaster with a certain someone screaming her head off, but was threatened with severe bodily harm if I posted it, so this one will have to do. . .
I passed this sculpture on my morning run, so I snapped a pic. I learned long ago to always take my camera with me, 'cause whenever I don't bring it I miss something awesome (like yesterday, when I ignored my own advice, left my camera at the hostel, and missed a very cool rainbow).
cooking up a delicious baked-tortellini meal. As usually, I was relegated to "vegetable chopper", a position I have held for almost a decade . . . (If I had been the one cooking that would probably be smoke in the picture, rather than steam)
Did you go to Beethoven's house in Bonn? I went last March - it was really cool!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you'll be back in a week! Come visit NYC soon...
Hi,
ReplyDeleteMy name is KC Owens, I’m a college student and I love to travel! While cruising the Internet, I found your site and really enjoyed reading your posts. I have been to countries all over Europe with just my backpack and a camera. Since I am a college student and I have significant bills, it can be difficult to find ways to travel the world. However, I have done this several times, with less than ten pounds of luggage and while on a college dime!
I was hoping that you would allow me to write a post for your site to share my tips and tricks with your readers. I put a lot of time into my traveling, it is my biggest passion and I would love to inspire others by sharing my stories, mistakes and triumphs. I look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
KC Owens
You have to find a niche to sell to, you have to find
ReplyDeletethe right product, and you have to create a sales model to do this.
Each of the above areas will require inputs and goals you want to achieve.
When you decide that instead of a regular job you will try out an alternative way to earn money from home,
you need to be just as prepared and organized as if you were working a regular job.
