Since moving to the capital of Alsace, Strasbourg, in 2019, I’ve spent countless hours wandering through villages, and not just the popular ones, hiking through the Vosges mountains, and savoring crisp glasses of Pint Gris (I don’t like Riesling) in centuries-old vineyards.
Every week, I venture out to discover something I haven’t seen or been to before, whether it’s a museum, a village, or a restaurant.
I’ve explored so much of this region, and I am on a mission to show it to you in the best way I know – through articles and photos.
