What do you love about travel? \u00a0Back in the day, visiting other states or countries was all about shopping for me. These days, I travel for the fulfillment of the heart, the vistas and the cuisine! One of my favorite days of travel was a train ride from Leipzig to the south of Germany where we saw fields of gold and glimpses of castles through the trees\u2014the Rhinegau is absolutely breathtaking and so romantic.<\/p>\n
What a treat to experience a two-day adventure through the Rhinegau wine country with two of my fellow travelers from the Social Media Travel Summit<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0I was grateful to have the opportunity to attend such an informative and well-organized conference. \u00a0What I really enjoyed about it was the intimate size that made me feel special to be included, and also allowed me plenty of opportunity to chat with the majority of the other attendees. \u00a0Kudos and congrats to you, Catharina Fischer, Keith Jenkins,<\/a>\u00a0Angelika Schwaff<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0and your team.<\/p>\n To top off the conference, the fifty bloggers split up and went on small mini trips in Germany.\u00a0 #WelterbeGermany \u00a0\u00a0After the conference in Leipzig, @velvetescape<\/a>, @TravelBlggr<\/a>\u00a0and I took a four-hour train ride to Germany\u2019s wine country. \u00a0Tasting #Germanwine in charming Schloss Vollrads was truly an enchanting experience! \u00a0Between the stone castle with an actual moat and the views across the acres of grape vines while sipping the world\u2019s finest dessert wines\u2014unforgettable. \u00a0The Reisling in Germany is magical and I can’t wait to go back.<\/p>\n
