Knowing my love for all things amusement parks, my boyfriend surprised me with an unforgettable birthday gift: a trip to Phantasialand in Brühl, Germany!

On November 1st, Poland celebrates All Saints’ Day—a time when people visit cemeteries to light candles on the graves of their loved ones.

Well, I started visiting Hundested a couple … Read more

Distance: 25/15.5 mi The route I can’t believe it was already the last day of our hike.
