March is here already, and I can hardly believe it!
This year has been so exciting and has already had several interesting twists and turns. Tonight, I want to share a few personal updates about how things have been moving along since I came to Germany.
Visa Approval
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have already see the wonderful news I shared last week on my insta story. My visa was approved, and now I can officially (and legally) live and work in Germany as a freelance photo stylist and designer! If feels so amazing to have this item checked off my list, because it was a pretty important one. The application process was pretty difficult to navigate through, so I’m thinking about sharing the step-by-step details in a later post.
Moving Uncertainty
A few weeks ago, I shared some other exciting news about how Sven was offered a job which will be taking us to Bremen at the end of the summer. As it turns out however, the first few months of the position will have him traveling a lot so now we’re not too sure if we will be moving to Bremen after all. Now we are waiting to find out where he will be primarily based for his first few projects. If it’s somewhere more interesting than Bremen, then we might take a flat there for a few months. So much is up in the air right now!
Travel Plans
Also, Sven and I have decided to take advantage of the flexibility we have right now and will spend quite some time traveling this spring and summer. After he finishes his thesis in mid-March, we will be kick-starting our season of travel with a trip to Konstanz and Zurich. From there we will make our way to Lyon which will be the beginning of our April/May adventures on the French countryside (read about that here). We’ll be wrapping up our time in France with a few days in Paris, and then we’ll head to Marrakech for my birthday! I’m so excited to visit Morocco, and it will be my first time in Africa!
After Morocco, we’ll have two weeks off of traveling to search for a flat – hopefully we’ll know where we’re moving by that time! Then in mid-June, my parents are coming to visit and we have planned to do a lot of traveling during their stay. Sven and I will be taking them to Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Bordeaux, Geneva, Prague, Berlin, and of course Hamburg!
I’ve also been working on some exciting travel guides from our past adventures! The first one will be up on the blog in the next day or two. And as you can imagine, I’ll have many more travel guides to add throughout the summer too.
