Hey guys, this is only a quick one. Just wanted to let everybody know how happy I am becoming here. I thought this was the best thing I could have done for myself and every day I am proven right! These first couple of weeks have been very up and down, I've been having an awesome time but missing home a lot as well. But then I thought "Kate, you d*** head! You're only in Europe for a year. Taree, your friends and your family are not going to change while you're a...

Hey guys! So (almost) another week in Germany has passed. To sum it up; this week I've experienced snow on and off, packing up the old house, a lot of visits to the new house, german lessons, helping the kids with their homework, bonding with Simon (2), a LOT of Oma's cooking and some more Christmas markets. Not to mention an invitation to a Dildo party. Tomorrow we move into the new house, which I know Kathrin, Frank and the kids are really looking forward to!...

This weekend has been a pretty cruisy one, Kathrin and Frank are busy moving house and I like to think I've been pretty helpful, haha!...

Hey guys, So it's 9:23 in the morning here on Friday.. 7:23 at home, so you would all be busy getting ready for your pumpin' Friday night out! So far Germany is amazing. Kathrin (my host Mum) makes the yummiest food! And shops mostly organic so it's so fresh and delicious. Here they have hot lunches and cold dinners most of the time. The bread here is so different to the bread at home, and it's easy to see why Germans are famous for their bread - it is DELICIOUS...

Hey everyone! So as most of you already know I have finally arrived safe and sound in Germany. The first leg of my flight was the worst, Australia to Singapore. At the airport my bag was overweight and as I was holding up the line I opted just to take some crap out of my bag and send it through! Worst decision, it was such a pain to lug it all around. The flight went so slow and was so cramped, and the guy who was sitting to my left had the WORST breath, I had t...
