Experience:
Sharon first fell in love with Germany back in 2000 on her first visit which may have been more about beer halls and biking than the Old Town and German culture that she enjoys more today.
She has traveled to 98 countries and spent many years of her life exploring the globe. This has lead to many skills from quickly working out the best way to travel from A to B to finding the best hotel. These days she primarily travels with her 3 children currently aged from 7 – 13 years old so she also has many family travel kid wrangling skills!
She has learned a lot about German culture and language from her experiences traveling in Germany, her humanities degree and from enrolling her kids in a German primary school in Australia. She’s had a lot of fun preparing schultütes for the first day of school to learning all about the many German dishes, holidays and cultural practices. Her kids make sure she puts the fun ones into practice too like leaving out shoes for Saint Nicholas!
When not writing for this site, Sharon is out exploring the world and everything German.
