  • Comprehensive knowledge !

    We heard their podcast and decided to visit Feldberg+Todtnau (by public transport albiet) on our Black Forest trip in May and loved it.

  • Superb

    I can’t recommend this podcast highly enough. The depth and breadth of the insights and information, communicated in such an accessible and spacious way, is remarkable. I just feel bad for listening to it for free and would like to give back something, hence this review.

  • Best Resource for Germany Travel Planning

    I have been reading a travel book from a well-known travel review company, scouring YouTube for trip planning advice, reading blogs for guidance on logistics and family-friendly tips. No other resource has been as instrumental in helping me make decisions about my family’s upcoming trip than Cate’s pod. Each episode is full of practical advice and rooted in lived experiences she and her husband have had throughout Germany. Small thing - I also appreciate how articulate and intentional Cate is wi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 59 | From Birthplace to Finish Line: A Multi-Generational Road Trip in Germany & Austria
Q: Do you have any advice or tips for anyone else who is planning to maybe go to Germany for the first time or Austria or drive or go to any of the places?
Tabbetha shares her family's tips: choose activities that suit your interests, schedule a rest day, ask for help, research destinations, adapt when plans go wrong, avoid overpacking, and consider driving in Germany, which she found easy.
Ep 59 | From Birthplace to Finish Line: A Multi-Generational Road Trip in Germany & Austria
Q: What was it like for you going back to Germany?
Tabbetha describes the return as surreal. Many places had changed, including the apartment building where her family lived and the hospital where her daughter was born. She recreated a childhood video scene with her daughter in Bremerhaven.
Ep 51 | Honest Answers to Real Travel Questions & Challenges
Q: Arriving at Frankfurt Airport and picking up a car—what's a reasonable timing and what should you consider when planning car pickup after a flight?
Aim for a buffer; pick-up around 9:30 is usually fine after a 7:30 arrival, but early pickup can sometimes be allowed depending on the country and airport rules. Always inform the rental company of your flight details so delays are accommodated.
Ep 51 | Honest Answers to Real Travel Questions & Challenges
Q: They were flying into Munich in December and considering day trips to Rotenburg ob der Tauber, Regensburg, and Augsburg. Which is best depends on whether you have a car or will take the train, and on Christmas markets timing.
All three can work nicely as day trips, but Regensburg and Augsburg are easy by regional train from Munich and offer varied Christmas market experiences; Rotenburg is further and more time-consuming by train, so it's best if you don't mind a longer journey.
Ep 51 | Honest Answers to Real Travel Questions & Challenges
Q: One person was recently asking about doing a day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich. They will not have a car and they were wondering if they should take the train or the bus or if they should take a tour.
There isn't a single right answer; it depends on whether you want easy, guided ease or flexibility. Tours are convenient for a stress-free experience, while trains or buses offer flexibility and potential cost savings if you plan carefully with timing.
