We have been back from Germany a little over six years now. It was quite the change to go from a small village in Germany to Clarksville, Tennessee and the USA. I was so ready to be back in the states after four years. I think I kissed the ground when I got off the…

So You Got Stationed Overseas: Why you NEED to make TRAVEL a part of your short PCS abroad
Thanks so much to LeAnna Brown for this guest post! Living in Europe for the past five years as a contractor with the US Army, I have had what most people would call a “Dream Life.” I’ve learned to budget travel and travel hack, so we get to travel extensively and all over the world,…
Amsterdam & The Netherlands
