I have to say, having a husband that travels for a living does have it’s advantages (as few and far between as they may seem). As luck would have it, Chase received word that he needed to travel to Europe far enough in advance that I could plan a trip around his business plans! I’ve always dreamt of traveling through Europe, visiting museums and admiring the ancient architecture. My only other taste of Europe was in Spain when I was I was 12 years old, and it was just enough to wet my whistle.
This time around I will get to explore Germany and the Netherlands. I couldn’t be more excited! I already knew Amsterdam was an amazingly eclectic city, and that my husband had nothing but good things to say about Nijmegen and other smaller towns, but after doing some research, I discovered that I’ll be visiting one of the largest hubs for graphic design in the world! It couldn’t be a more perfect destination! My type-A personality went into overdrive, and I began researching all the possible museums, bookstores, and design parlors we could visit in my short 4 days of travel. I know I’ve crammed more into our itinerary than possible, but I’m ready and willing to try to see it all. Call me a dork if you will, but I can’t wait to explore the world of design from a different point of view.
