Hegel said that, "truth may be ascertained by several methods, each of which is no more than a form." As in all aspects of life, the subjective and the objective are in constant back to back battle. This is no different in doing a travel website. It is helpful to get to know the person in order to accept or reject their suggestions, not that all like-minds agree or all dissimilar minds disagree, but it helps to be familiar with the lens you are looking through. Therefore, I feel I should tell a little bit about myself.

Life is fairly straightforward and simple for me at the moment. I have lived in Germany for nearly 6 years, currently residing in downtown Frankfurt. I enjoy living in Europe with each passing year. I work as a school psychologist in an American school outside of Frankfurt, a job that I currently enjoy. I am happily married. I have 2 cats that are like my children.

After going to my first VT meeting, I felt guilty about not having done much with my pages, especially regarding Frankfurt, where I live. I thought I would at least add a nice photo. While traveling has become like a drug for me, I most enjoy the view of the Frankfurt skyline from my balcony.

I realized that I haven't explored some of the main sites in Europe that much, so I hope to do so in the coming months.
Strasbourg-March
Paris-April
Brugge-July
Alsace-July
Piedmont region,Italy-July

I only see movies about once every 2 months, so I haven't seen that many recently, but here it goes from 2005 movies:

Munich
Batman Begins
Star Wars:Revenge of the SIth
40-year old Virgin
Good Night and Good Luck

I put this painting on my page as it gives me daily inspiration as I pass by it 100 times a day in my hallway. For me, the painting says that we should celebrate all the facets of society and our life.
