Off to Germany!


The life of the so-called globetrotter that runs this blog has been pretty devoid of globetrotting as of late. Instead, it's been full of, well, life. The busy kind that hurriedly pushes one hour after the other, fueled by a move to a new apartment, a move to a new office, and enough spring/summer/fall weddings to qualify me as an honorary party planner (not exactly the career direction I was hoping for, I might add). A little bit of background allows me to better make my point today, however, which is that in just a few minutes I'll be departing the July humidity of Detroit for a quick visit to Germany, courtesy of natural beauty brand Weleda.

In my former life as a full-time automotive and travel journalist I visited Berlin to drive the Autobahn, making this my second stay in Deutschland. And while I'll be sleeping in a city whose name I can't quite pronounce (I really hope my high school German instructor isn't reading this), I'm most definitely looking forward to a bit of sun, hiking, and, naturally, soaking up some of the brand's fabulous skin care and beauty products. Since I'm traveling on behalf of The Alternative Consumer--gotta love this assignment--I'll be dishing out the full scoop on AltCon when I return. Stay tuned!
