DISCOVER THIS SURFER’S DELIGHT

Right beside the city’s English Garden, surfers ride the famous Eisbachwelle — a standing river wave that’s been drawing surfers and spectators since the 1970s.

What began as a byproduct of fast-moving water flowing over a concrete step in the Eisbach canal evolved into an iconic urban surf spot.

Located at the southern edge of Munich’s English Garden, the Eisbachwelle (wave) made headlines in recent years after a tragic accident led to closure of the surfing spot.

But earlier this month, the Eisbachwelle officially reopened with updated safety rules, and surfers are once again at it.

Even if you don’t surf, stop by to marvel at this scene. The energy, the skill, and the setting make it unforgettable. It’s one of my favorite memories of a trip to Munich.

TIPS:
1. Spend some time wandering through the English Garden where you’ll find b**r gardens, expansive grassy lawns for picnicking, and more.
2. Open Google Maps on your phone while visiting to discover areas of the expansive English Garden you want to visit and how to get there.

Winter in Finland feels like stepping into another world!

Start in Helsinki and enjoy stylish architecture and design, cafés, and seaside views. Then fly north to Lapland for a full-on Arctic adventure — dogsledding through silent forests, reindeer rides at dusk, snowmobiling across frozen landscapes, and chasing the Northern Lights.

It is equal parts cozy and exhilarating!

WINTER TRAVEL TIPS FOR FINLAND
✔️ Dress in layers. Start with base layers, then add fleece, and finish with a thermal, waterproof/windproof outer layer. Also, waterproof thermal boots will help keep you warm. Many Lapland tour operators provide snowsuits and boots. Check on this as you plan your trip.
✔️ Plan Helsinki + Lapland. The contrast between urban Nordic culture and Arctic wilderness enriches the trip.�✔️ Book Northern Lights tours for multiple nights. Weather changes quickly, so give yourself more than one chance.�✔️ Embrace sauna culture. It’s not just relaxing. It’s part of daily life in Finland.�✔️ Expect limited daylight. Winter brings fewer daylight hours, but enjoy the blue twilight glow. A great time for taking pictures and videos!

If you’re dreaming of a winter escape filled with Arctic adventure, Scandinavian design, and unforgettable experiences, Finland should be on your list.

There’s a different kind of peace that finds you on a snowy trail by the water.

The world slows down, the noise fades, and suddenly you remember why you love traveling and exploring new places—near or far.

Those quiet moments are perfect for reflecting on where you’ve been—and imagining where you’re headed next.

You’ve earned every wrinkle and upgrade—so why not travel like it?

Traveling after 50 means swapping the “see 10 cities in 3 days” madness for slow travel that actually lets you taste the food, admire the art, and hear the stories behind the places you visit.

Whether it’s a culinary tour with a chef who knows every hidden gem, a museum walk led by someone who pronounces all the artists’ names correctly, a guided hike overlooking scenic vistas, or a historical deep dive with a local guide who’s basically a walking encyclopedia—this is your time to travel smarter, not faster.

Travel for mature folks isn’t about slowing everything down; it’s about elevating the experience. And yes… comfort is absolutely non-negotiable!
