Speaking of travel, check out my article about Hannover, Germany. This city strikes quite an emotional cord for me since it's home to my relatives, many friends, and the city where I not only met my husband, but where I first heard the words, "Will you marry me?". I hope you enjoy it, and please check out GKFA where I'm now a regular contributor. With a 3.5 million readership in North America, the U.K. and across Europe, I'm excited to tune more readers into all that is wonderful in Hannover!

psst....If you're a soccer fan, Hannover is hosting the FIFA World Cup in June!
