Ode to Beer: Visiting the Munich Hofbrauhaus I’ve been to Munich once before, of course, back on the first big EuroTrip in 2006 that exposed me to real travel and ended in Germany to see the World Cup. We even spent a few days in Munich, soaking in the futbol […]

Amsterdam MuseumPlein: A Visitor’s Guide

Hey there! I'm Stephen, this is my travel blog, and that's me in the poofy hat.
