Welcome to the Germany Insider Facts Guide!

author of the germany insider facts guide

Guten Tag, and thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Rita Amend. I've been living in the Rhine-Main-area all my life, that's 57 years to tell you the truth.

Personally, I am often curious and want to discover who is the author when I visit websites, so I think I should grant readers of the Germany facts guide the same courtesy.

I love to travel. Although Australia is one of my favourite destinations, I have spent many holidays in my home country as well.
Exploring the secrets, history, foods and customs of a certain region in Germany is nearly as fascinating as discovering a foreign country thousands of miles away.

German regions are so different, the landscapes, dialects, the mentality of people, not to mention the variety in delicious food specialties.
It is never boring to stay in Germany for a holiday.

The Germany Insider Facts Guide was launched on the 2nd January 2010. You see it is a fairly new site, and I am going to put in a lot of work to make the website a great resource of interesting facts about Germany.

You, the valued reader, can help me to achieve this goal. How? Simply answer a few questions on the survey page, and let me know which info you missed on the site. Thank you.

"Why don't you write this website in German?" you might ask

Well, that is a reasonable question. After all, I am a German, and writing this site in my mother language would be slightly easier.
However, what would be a true insider fact for a foreigner to Germany, is often common knowledge for my fellow Germans. Websites in German language abound, although they often cover only certain regions or topics.

So I decided to devote this website to YOU, the visitor from Europe, America, Africa, Asia, and Australia, whichever country you call home. Even if you don't plan a visit, you might want to learn a little about Germany.

This Germany Guide is a travel website with a personal touch. I am going to add the "must see places" and my favourite destinations as well. Read about traditions, foods and the history of the places I am going to visit with you.
Additionally, I will offer you practical tips to plan your journey to Germany.

Please stay in touch, and return to the site often. There are always new topics to discover.
