We thought we knew what to expect from our trip to Germany. We didn’t. In the best way.

In this episode of The Loud Quiet, we share the surprises that made our empty nest adventure unforgettable…from unexpected experiences to moments that moved us.

Join us as we explore how saying “Ja” to Germany brought more delight than we could have anticipated.
