Das Ende vom Ende
Olivia Wilkins
On July 5, 2016, Alex and I (with the help of my mom) brought Guenther to the United States of America for the first time. Between moving out of our home in Cologne and making our trans-Atlantic journey, we stayed in Duesseldorf, the capital of NRW which lies under an hour north up the Rhein from Cologne by train.
Der Anfang vom Ende
Olivia Wilkins
With the end of my life in Germany drawing near, I took a whirlwind tour of Nordrhein-Westfalen with my family, going to places in and around Cologne I've wanted to visit (or re-visit) before moving back to the States.

The Fulbright Berlin Seminar is a five-day conference in the capital of Germany, bringing together about 500 Fulbrighters in Europe (both U.S. students in Europe and German students about to leave for the States) to celebrate "building the transatlantic future."

Olivia Wilkins
In German, "Leiden" means to suffer. Luckily the only suffering a weekend getaway to this Dutch city yielded was sore feet after touring (and climbing through) a windmill.
Read MoreInmitten der Schlösser
Olivia Wilkins
Sankt Goar is a small town along the Rhein about an hour-and-a-half south of Köln by train. Its lack of grocery store to buy refreshments for the hotel room is more than made up by its great view of three castles.
Read MoreEin Wochenende in Düren
Olivia Wilkins
Düren is a town just 40 minutes from Köln by train. Home to the paper industry in Germany, a cozy hotel, and better clothes shopping that I've found in Köln thus far, Düren made a perfect weekend getaway (even if it was cold and rainy).
Read MoreUrlaub in Norwich: Kulturschock
Olivia Wilkins
Surprisingly, a trip to Norwich, England, afforded more culture shock than moving to Köln, Germany. Despite (almost) sharing a common language, being in the U.K. is marked by a strange blend of American and German characteristics.
Read MoreErste Woche in Marburg an der Lahn
Olivia Wilkins
Marburg an der Lahn proved to be a picturesque city and a great vacation spot, with cobbled streets, half-timbered buildings, numerous Buchhandlungen and cafes, and struggles with elementary German.

Olivia Wilkins
From an excellent flight to interesting rail patrons, Germany's welcome was nothing short of interesting.

Olivia Wilkins
Over the next year, I will continue my studies of astrochemistry at the Universität zu Köln (University of Cologne) through a Fulbright grant. As a Fulbright scholar, I will research complex molecules hypothesized to exist in the spaces beyond our solar system.
This is a journey I began about 18 years ago.
