About Lydia Fulson

Hey fellow travelers, my name is Lydia, Oma Gerhild's granddaughter. Much like her, I've come to love travel and love everything about it. I've never minded the busy bustling airports or the planes, trains, and automobiles. :)

Growing up, visiting Oma and Opa and hearing their incredible stories of traveling and the wunderbar adventures they embarked on, made me realize there's more to see than just what's outside my doorstep. So, I started embarking on my own adventures. Traveling Europe, all of Canada, Japan, and Oma's old stomping grounds in Germany.

I've always had a curious mind. I love to explore and make spontaneous decisions along the way. But hey, I never would have found a heart shaped rock if I didn't choose to stray from the trail a little! 

Over my years of travel, I've found a new love for doing some... Crazier things.

Anything with a parachute: Sign me up! First, skydiving. Was it terrifying? I mean, who said jumping out of a plane would be easy? But nothing beats a view like that.

That photo above was taken during my Western Canada travels, where I thought paragliding off of a mountain in British Columbia was a great idea. It turned out to be, in the end. Though we ran into a wee hiccup on the first try. Yeah ... it took more than one. One might say that I can cross getting tangled up in a chute and rolling down a mountain off the bucket list now. So, we climbed back up, untangled, and took another crack at it. And we had lift off! Call me crazy, but I'd do it again.

My most recent craziness? Bungee jumping. Now that, I can call myself crazy for.

I do enjoy 'normal' people activities too. I'm often found sketching, building things, and books have always been alluring to me.

But for the last while, my favorite pastime has been wood burning. Big and small, nerdy things, pretty things. I come from a jack-of-all-trades family, and I guess I became a bit of one myself.

From a very young age, my family would go camping all around the country, and even outside of it. Being exposed to the outdoors so much in my childhood years, certainly also contributed to my love for discovery.

Oma and Opa always taught me to have fun, dabble, and explore as much as I can. I hope that these pages full of nifty German experiences from my family can inspire and encourage you to add something new to your to-do list this year.

Next stop, Germany?
