Lech is a favorite winter ski trip destination for many Europeans. Couples and families plan their visit annually for winter sports, tasty fondue, and sweeping mountain views. This means accommodations tend to book up a year in advance! If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in this quaint Austrian town, you’ll be surrounded by locals and visitors who know their…
Read the PostThis is the first time in months that Jacob and I have gone on a trip with no intention of working. We were invited by a group of our close friends in Amsterdam to go skiing in Lech am Arlberg, Austria — known by some as the ski destination in Europe. What’s funny about this trip is that both of…
Read the PostI’ve recently fallen in love with winter getaways, so I knew it was only a matter of time before we ended up in Finland. Lapland, in northern Finland, is the ultimate winter wonderland!
