Welcome to 2020! *Chit Chat With Me*

Happy New Year! I hope you had the best holiday and are having a great and motivating start to the new year. 2019 ended as busy as could possibly be- I was navigating my new job and new daily routines, planning and traveling our last Europe trips of 2019 (Lucerne, Zurich and Copenhagen), visiting Christkindlmarkets, meeting new expat friends, and packing and traveling home for our two week trip back to the states.

2020 started off with lots of holiday travel! I traveled from Düsseldorf to Chicago, Chicago to Quad Cities, Quad Cities to Chicago, Chicago to Tampa, Tampa to Chicago, and lastly Chicago to Germany. I definitely pushed myself a little too hard while back home. I wanted to see as many people as possible but put my own sanity on the line lol. Next time I visit the states I want to try to relax more, which will hopefully make it easier when I get back to Europe. 

Okay so, onto what's going on in 2020 blog-wise! I am going to put forth lots of effort to continue writing on a regular basis. I started Live More Fuller during a period in my life where I had ALL the time in the world and now, I am learning to balance everything. This is something I genuinely love doing so I am excited for what is to come 🖤 ✨

I thought it'd be fun to start off the New Year with a Q+A style blog post with my most frequently asked questions.

1. Why did you move to Germany?

I realize I haven't talked about this on the blog since my first ever post (you can read here)! I moved to Germany with my boyfriend, Rob. He received a job offer with the same company he works for in the US to move to Düsseldorf, Germany. We have been living here since November 2018.

2. Will you be living in Germany permanently?

No, living here forever was never part of the plan. We moved here on a 13-month contract with his company, which was extended in May. Originally our move home date was December 2019 but as of today it is in June 2020!

3. Do you guys want to move home?

100% yes! This has been the best experience in my life but I miss so many things about home and I am SO excited for the day we get to live near our family and friends and have a normal life again.

4. What do you do in Germany?

When we first moved I was just living- I started my blog, explored my new city, took German classes, and did the planning of our trips. I just started working full-time in November as a Communications Specialist. I am very happy working again!

5. Who takes your photos?

The one and only, Rob!! My sweet, sweet bf takes all of my photos. You guys should have seen us at first omg I would make him take photos FOREVER to get the perfect shot. Now it only takes us like 5-10 minutes to take a picture. If we're traveling, we'll ask a stranger to take a photo of the two us. At this point in blogging, I am super casual with Instagram. I usually take a photo when we are already out and about doing something!

6. How do you edit your photos?

I use Lightroom! That has allowed me to enhance my colors & make a somewhat of a cohesive Instagram feed. 

8. Do you make money blogging?

I make commission off of my sales on LIKEtoKNOW.it! If you don't know what LTK is- you can read my post about the program here! Be sure to follow me on the app (torfuller) or you can click the shop my looks tab on my blog homepage. 

Let me know if you all enjoyed this style of post and lastly, let's make this year our best yet! Bring on 2020!

XO,
