On June 27, I traveled with Army Outdoor Recreation to Interlaken on their Interlaken Express trip. Interlaken is the most incredible, picturesque place I have ever had the privilege of visiting. Reality blew all of my expectations out of the water.

After eight successful years of the unique street theater festival called “Alles muss raus!”, or “Get it all out!”, the stage is set for the ninth year July 17 to 19 in Kaiserslautern’s city center.

Falkenstein Castle will be the stage for a medieval spectacle Saturday and Sunday. The castle ruins located high above Falkenstein village are considered one of the most impressive castle ruins in the northern Palatinate region.

When the constant cold weather sets in Germany around early November, it will perhaps be memories of this year’s Ohmbachseefest that carry people through to the next warm season.

Julia Cameron, the bestselling author of ‘The Artist Way’ defines an ‘Artist Date’ as a once-weekly, festive, solo expedition to explore something that interests us: a way to spend quality time with our inner creative self while leaving phones, laptops and our social agendas unattended. We’re extending this concept to include the whole family.

It’s no big secret that Germany is known for its great beers, but not many people know that Germany has some amazing wines and host a lot of great wine festivals that go on during the summertime. If you are a wine lover or just wanting to explore and check out some great festivals here are a few that would be great for you.

My third trip with Army Outdoor Recreation was to Copenhagen, Denmark on the Copenhagen Express. Between Copenhagen’s waterways and beautiful colored buildings, I suggest anyone and everyone put Denmark on their list of must-see places.
