Any conversation about going to Germany is going to start with beer, right? Because of its unique beer laws, Germany is the best destination in the world for beer lovers, and whether you’re in the Krolsh taverns of Cologne or doing Oktoberfest in Munich, suds are almost always on the agenda.
What’s that? There’s thousands and thousands of years of history in Germany too? Well, sure, if you’re into stuff like dream-worthy medieval castles and historic cathedrals or the fascinating history of the WWII era and Cold-War Berlin. And believe it or not, Germany also has tons of vacation-ready islands full of beaches and relaxation, if that’s more your vacation game.

Travel has a language all its own. It’s shared across all cultures, all peoples. It begins with that longing to see the world. It begins with the word “yes.” There are so many places, foods, cultures, and adventures out there. A tuk tuk ride in Mumbai. Exploring ancient ruins in Jordan. A surf wave in the middle of Munich. A quiet afternoon stroll in Paris. Where will your adventures take you this year? What will you do? Whatever you can dream up: don’t put it off. Make your dreams happen today. #SayYesToTheWorld
