About Me

Hi, I’m Julia

I’m a Munich-based writing & editing specialist, tour guide, project manager, and seasoned traveller. I know a thing or two about the German market and about how to approach it.

With my experience and knowledge of travel, I’ll help you build your perfect itinerary for your trip to Germany. And when you’re here in Munich, why not book one of my food tours?

I Believe That …

  • Travel is a gift. Do it now.
  • Most of the time, you don’t need an organized group tour. You can just as easily do it on your own.
  • Instagram is a resource, not an authority. Use it for inspiration, but not for planning.
  • Even as the world grows closer together in many ways, intercultural differences remain. It’s up to you whether they become a source of growth or of endless frustration
  • If you don’t enjoy reading, you just haven’t found the right story yet.
  • The devil is in the detail, and so is beauty.
READY TO travel?

My Background

At 15, when I went to London with my mom for a few days, she let me spend a day on my own. I ended up going to lots of different places. That may have been when I caught the travel bug.

At 16, I was on a plane to Salt Lake City, where I would be spending the next three months with a host family. The year after, my family hosted an Australian exchange student – naturally, I had to go visit her. And so it goes.

30+ years later, I have travelled – not everywhere, but to many amazing places. I can’t tell you how many, because I don’t count them. But I’ve been to every continent except South America and Antarctica.

At the same time, I am lucky enough to live in one of the most beautiful regions of Germany. Munich is a great city, the Alps are just an hour or two away, there is culture, nature and great food. I am looking to share that with you, and to encourage you to visit.

I started this blog in German to mainly share the stories from my own travels. But then I got into guiding food tours in Munich. And so many of my clients had similar questions, concerns and itineraries. So now I also write in English about places closer to home, including day-trips from Munich, cheap eats in the city, and itinerary suggestions. I hope to inspire and inform, and to help you build a great itinerary!

A cultural historian by training, I have spent a lot of time in offices as a project manager. A few years ago, I realized a 9-to-5 just wasn’t making me happy. So now I work part-time, which allows me to do other things on a freelance basis: and so I guide tours, I proofread manuscripts for a small independent publishing house, and of course I blog.

Having lived, worked and studied in five countries, I am happily based in Munich. I still travel whenever I can, including around Bavaria. I need to produce new content for this blog, right?

Fun Facts About Me

I am frequently taken for an Irish person on account of my accent. I have never even been to Ireland, and I have no clue where I might have picked up an Irish accent.

I spent years thinking I should set up my own blog. Then I spontaneously signed up for an eight-week blog course and was online within 24 hours. Never looked back. Best decision of 2023.

I always thought I was a beach person, but then I moved to Spain, where I lived right near the beach – and realized how much I was missing the mountains.

I pride myself on my efficiency. I am also the least efficient person in the world when tidying up.

I am a firm disciple of the „Cake is a legitimate breakfast food“ school.
