Mornings in Munich


Ciao! A hot question that I’ve been getting from a lot of friends and family has been, “Where have you traveled in Europe?”, and it’s such a hard question to answer because I feel like I’ve already gone to so many different places that I don’t know what to talk about. But today I want to highlight one of my recent trips to Germany, how easy it was to travel there and what I did while there.

 

Towards the end of September, I planned a trip with my friend Sydney to Munich, Germany, to visit for Oktoberfest and explore the city. One might think that traveling multiple countries away would cost a pretty penny, but that isn’t the case in Europe. We booked through a student travel agency which considerably cut down our costs for the weekend and made the decision so much easier. We took a Thursday night bus through the Austrian countryside to eventually arrive in Germany on Friday morning and it was one of the prettiest countries I’ve had the pleasure of visiting yet. The huge castles and the bright colors everywhere remind me of a city I’d see in the movies, so it really was a delight.

 

Because we really wanted to assimilate ourselves into German culture, my friend and I bought traditional clothes to attend Oktoberfest. Typically, the men wear a leather “overall” called a lederhosen, while the women wear colorful patterned dresses called a dirndl, both of which have roots from the 18th century as primarily peasant and working class clothing that was then adopted by the German nobles who wore ones which much more premium quality.
