Behind the Scenes of My First Trip to Leipzig Germany

By Stacey Freeman 1 Comment

Behind the Scenes of My First Trip to Leipzig GermanyIn between two work conferences in Europe, I had a chance to hop over to Germany to visit my long-time friend. My college roomie moved to Leipzig Germany last fall and I promised I’d visit her. She’s lived in Europe before, but the timing just never worked for me to visit her. It seemed like every time she left Europe was the exact time when I traveled there for work. Luckily, this trip aligned with her also being in Europe, so I jumped at the chance to see her.Behind the Scenes of My First Trip to Leipzig GermanyAfter a week of training sessions and meetings in London, I took a short flight to Berlin and then a three-hour bus ride to Leipzig Germany, where she currently lives. I honestly didn’t do any research about Leipzig before I arrived. Given that she’s lived there for several months, I had the privilege to rely on her as my tour guide. I actually love having little expectations about a place before I arrive because I find it is much more fulfilling. It can be really disappointing if you place all these expectations on a trip and then you aren’t able to see everything you planned or check all the things off your list.Behind the Scenes of My First Trip to Leipzig GermanyWith my trip to Leipzig, I just anticipated a lot of time catching up with my friend, and that’s exactly what I got. There were some other unexpected things that happened in Leipzig. Namely, I was mesmerized by all of the street art and graffiti. I wrote about Paris street art last year, but I have to say, Leipzig’s street art wins!Behind the Scenes of My First Trip to Leipzig GermanyIt felt like nearly ever surface in the city was covered in street art, graffiti, and frankly, tagging. I differentiate street art and graffiti from tagging in one way. To me, tagging is not artful, it does not feel purposeful. It looks like someone used spray paint to write their name or words, but not in a thoughtful way like street art.Behind the Scenes of My First Trip to Leipzig GermanyRegardless of the tagging, the street art was beautiful. There were several buildings and walls that made me stop in my tracks and just admire the beauty. It’s impossible to capture them completely in photographs, but I am sharing some of my favorites in this post.

The other unexpected outcome of my time in Leipzig was how relaxing the lifestyle seems. Nearly everywhere we went, there were people sitting outside, enjoying time with friends drinking coffee, or walking along the little river. We spent a lot of time just strolling along, sitting at little cafes or biergartens (beer gardens). I drank more beer and coffee than I normally do, but it was so relaxing.Behind the Scenes of My First Trip to Leipzig GermanyLeipzig was a very lovely little city. Although I wish I had more time in Germany to explore Berlin and some of the other major cities, spending 48 hours in Leipzig Germany gave me a sense of what real life would be like living in Germany. A lot of times, when I visit major tourist cities, I miss out on what it might actually be like to live there. This trip to Leipzig gave me a much clearer sense of the culture and daily lives of people who live in Leipzig.

    […] you know I love me some street art and murals (see stories about street art in Paris, New York, and Germany). When I arrived in Miami and had dinner at the hotel the first night, I met a girl from Wisconsin. […]

#throwback to exactly one year ago...the very begi #throwback to exactly one year ago...the very beginning rumblings of this thing called corona virus. @terrimchugh and @fabeveryday flew into LA for the first ever @thetravelmom weekend in Huntington Beach. We were all so excited. And we had the absolute most amazing weekend. Little did we know the world would shut down a week later. But I’m so beyond grateful for that weekend because it created a bond with these women that has carried me through this past year. Without these dear friends, I’m not sure how I would have coped so well. Thank you @thetravelmom for bringing us all together - counting down the days till we can do it again!

March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, and I can’t believe we are at the one year mark of this quarantine life. I honestly miss dressing up for work, like this, so lately I’ve been dressing up in my living room for my zoom work calls.

Honestly, it’s so nice to feel some normalcy, even if there’s no need to be quite so dressed up. The way you dress definitely affects the way you feel, and this monochromatic look makes me feel happy and ready for spring.

Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energ Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energy that you can’t even describe - it’s that powerful. That’s @meaghanbmurphy ⚡️⚡️.

I met Meaghan two years ago at the @beachesresorts SMOTS conference and I was drawn to her positivity, radiant energy, and could totally relate to her “working mom who wants to have it all” mentality.
.
The older I get, the more I realize that the people you surround yourself with matters so much. If your Instagram friends or real life friends aren’t helping you to be the best version of yourself, then you might need new friends.

Meaghan continues to inspire me with her new book “Your Fully Charged Life.” If you’re looking for a fun and smart read to help you take back control of your life on your journey to being your best self, this book is for you! You can get yours on Amazon, at Barnes and Nobel, or other book retailers near you. Congrats Meaghan! ⚡️⚡️
