Welcome, Willkommen, Bienvenue!

 Raised in Germany, now living in sunny California, I’m a lifelong travel addict, food junkie, wife and mom of two grown children. I speak fluent English & German and some French. So far, my travels include over 35 countries, 6 continents and countless cities. Solo travel, girlfriend travel, study abroad, family travel as a child, family travel as a parent, couples travel…been there, done that. I pin my travels on a framed atlas at home…hence the name Pinning My Maps. I’m Susie and this is my travel blog.

Join me on my world travel adventures as I share practical advice and interesting anecdotes about my two passions: food & travel!
