Moin from Hamburg! ๐ Just hanging with the cutest foxes while looking for the fishes....and the hamburgers. ๐๐ฆ๐๐
We just posted a food tour video from our trip to Hamburg! ๐คค๐๐ In this video we both tried some northern German dishes for the first time. If you're interested, check the video out on our YouTube channel โก๏ธ Deana and Phil. ๐ฅ๐บ๐ค๐ Also, prepare to feel hunger. This video was a struggle to edit without wanting to eat every few hours!! ๐ญ๐

Trying to get that b-roll in Koblenz! ๐ฅ๐๐ I really love our travel vlogs. ๐๐ I enjoy the filming and editing these videos. As a kid I used to make scrapbooks and vlogs have become my modern scrapbooks. ๐๐๏ธ๐ท
Drawing on this photo made me think of our road trip along the Rhine. ๐๐๏ธ๐ฉ๐ช There are so many places on the list and I'm excited for our next city in Germany! ๐๐บ๏ธ

Only a year late for the but better late than never! โ๏ธ๐ฉโ๐ป๐จ
Haha this tired out a little creepy. This drawing reminds me of the movie, the Purge, and if I were to have a creepy cartoon mask of my face. ๐

Bathe me in hollandaise!!! ๐๐คค๐

It's white asparagus season here in Germany!! We just posted a video trying different dishes for a day! (https://youtu.be/NAsxuEUROEU) ๐ฅ๐ฉโ๐ณ๐จโ๐ณ This was both of our first times cooking white asparagus (without supervision)! ๐
If you've eaten white asparagus dishes, please let me know your recipes! We'll be cooking with these until the season is over. ๐
Curry Time!! For the past few months, I've been pretending that I'm in and my specialty is curry. ๐๐ถ๏ธ๐๐ช
It feels nice to draw again. โ๏ธ๐ฉโ๐ป I've been very down and in a bit of a funk lately. I haven't had the motivation to pick up a pen. When I'm drawing and listen to a podcast or music, I'm teleported into a happy place. ๐โ๏ธ So, for me drawing and thinking about food is just pure bliss. ๐
THANK YOU so much for 40k Subscribers! ๐ค๐ We hope you all are staying safe and healthy during this time! Our goal and hope is that we can provide fun, entertaining, and somewhat informative videos. ๐
Even though we are indoors most of the day, it is nice to see some warm sunshine here in Germany! โ๏ธ๐ฉ๐ช It makes these times a little brighter and more enjoyable.
New videos is out and we talk about Restaurant Differences (USA vs Germany)! ๐ฅ We aren't sure exactly when we'll be in a sit down restaurant again, but here are some interesting differences to know and discuss! There are a lot of similarities when it comes to customs in USA ๐บ๐ฒ and Germany, ๐ฉ๐ช yet it's also interesting how many small differences we notice in these normal situations. ๐ฝ๏ธ
I love filled donuts. ๐ฉ Big fluffy dough balls of goodness are 10x better when filled with anything!!! Chocolate filled, cream filled, fruit filled, jelly filled I really don't discriminate! ๐๐
๐คค
When Phil and I film food videos we usually split a lot of dishes. ๐ฅ This way we can eat the food while it's hot, and we can taste more without filling up on one dish. On our recent trip to Berlin I learned we shouldn't split Berliner/Pfannkuchen/Krapfen/JellyFilledDonut. ๐ His bites are wayyyyy bigger than mine, and I had to go buy another one for myself. ๐ฉ
This is from our recent trip!! We went in search for a new addition to our family!! ๐ป๐ (I may, or may not, have a stuffed animal obsession) Check out our recent video on our YouTube channel โก๏ธ Deana and Phil ๐ฅ๐ฉ๐ช for our most recent vlog from Berlin.
Fun translation: Racoon is Waschbรคren in German. ๐ฉ๐ช It's one of Berlin's local wildlife. ๐ That's one of the reasons I wanted to draw these cuties into this photo. The one eating the dรถner is Phil's spirit animal. ๐
Happy Valentine's Day!!! ๐๐ซ๐ When I was single my favorite part about this time of year was going to the stores on February 15th and getting all the 75% off chocolate boxes left over from Valentine's Day! ๐คค๐๐ซ It was a magical time full of discounted chocolate, my cozy bed, and a few romcoms.
I am lucky enough to have chocolate a day earlier now and a wonderful "husband" (still a weird word for me). ๐ญ๐๐ฅฐ Dankeschรถn, ๐ Although, we still need to keep the romcom tradition going. ๐
Boba Boba Boba!! ๐นI've been craving a good taro coconut milk boba tea lately!! Hoping there's a good spot during this weekend's trip! ๐๐คค What is your favorite type of boba/bubble tea??
I had a hot Ikea date with the other day! ๐๐ We like to imagine that we have a fancy kitchen and dining room while enjoying our delicious dinner. ๐๐๐คค
I've been weirdly into drawing food lately.... So be prepared for a decent about of future food drawing photos. ๐คค๐ฅค๐๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฅง๐จ Swipe right โก๏ธ to see a close up before and after of the food drawings. โ๏ธ๐
Also, check out our new video on our channel, Deana and Phil. ๐ค๐๐ฅ We have a little too much fun in an ! @ IKEA
Spirited Away is one of my favorite movies!! ๐๐ฅ๐ฟ These little soot balls are just too cute!! ๐ค I drew this sort of fan art from one of my favorite scenes! Just pretending I'm Chihiro in this magical world! ๐ซ๐โจ
Happy Chinese New Year!!! ๐ฎ๐๐๐งง๐งจ It's the year of the rat!! ๐ ๆฐๅนดๅฟซไน!
Throwback to my first time on the Great Wall of China! ๐จ๐ณ It doesn't feel that long ago, but I look like such a baby!! ๐ถ
Don't forget to eat all the good luck foods today!! ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅฎ๐ Wishing you all a wonderful Lunar New Year!! ๐ค๐
It's winter, so I'm cuddling with my younglings. ๐๐๐ป
THANK YOU!! ๐ค๐๐ Wow! We just reached 30k subscribers on our couples YouTube channel, โก๏ธ Deana and Phil. It really doesn't feel real that just a year ago we only had about 500 subscribers and we were making videos of our travels. โ๏ธ๐We weren't even monetized at that time, so it's really amazing to see so much growth! ๐๐ฅ
This really wouldn't be possible with all the positive supporters we get! So I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported our journey. ๐ It really is super motivating when we receive such kind and encouraging words. ๐ I truly can't thank y'all enough. Hope you're having a wonderful new year!!! ๐ค๐
I have such mixed feelings about 2019... ๐คท This past year has been a whirlwind of emotions, struggles and accomplishments. In 2019, I have experienced my lowest lows and my highest highs.
This past year, I've traveled to four continents, ๐ rediscovered my love for art, ๐ฉโ๐จ reached several YT milestones, ๐ฅ acheived many set goals, โ๏ธ and learned a lot a long the way. ๐ More importantly, I was able to reconnect with friends and family I haven't seen in years, ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ and also created many more wonderful memories with Phil, ๐
Although this past year felt glamourous at times, it was also a year of struggles, sorrow and uncertainty. ๐ I'm not sure if I'm entirely ready for a new year and a new decade, but I'm definitely ready to close the chapeter on 2019.๐๐พ๐
I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Year's Eve! Have fun and make good choices! ๐ค๐
Frohe Weihnachten!!!! ๐๐โจ Currently eating. ttyl ๐คค๐ ๐

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! โ๏ธ๐จ๏ธ I hope we get snow on Christmas here in Germany! ๐ Phil said i shouldn't get my hopes up, but too late! ๐โ๏ธโ๏ธ
Tee hee hee ๐๐ It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! ๐ฆโจ
Happy Hump Day! โฐ๏ธ Don't let some ๐ฉ ruin your week! ๐ฃ๐๐ฆ๐
Glad to be on this journey with you. ๐
NY or Chicago style ? ๐๐ We just posted a video on our YouTube channel โก๏ธ Deana and Phil where we try out pizza slices from popular spots on !
Swipe Right โก๏ธ to see some quick clips of how I make my photos. โ๏ธ๐ฉโ๐ป We definitely take wayyyyy too many photos (especially compared to the disposal camera era) and this is my way of getting to select my favorites! ๐ท IG has become my online "scrap book" and progress portfolio. I'm really enjoy using my drawing tablet and it's been really convenient with our travel lifestyle. ๐ Thank you to all of you who have stuck through these creative phases and attempts! ๐ค๐

Finally drawing on some photos from our recent trip! ๐ฉโ๐จ๐โจ We extended our layover in New York on our way back to Germany. โ๏ธ It's never enough time in such an incredible city, but we filled the few days with A LOT of steps! ... and food. ๐๐ When a monster offers a slice on the how could one say no? ๐
Hallo ! ๐บ๐ฒโ๏ธ๐ฉ๐ช Auf Wiedersehen ! โ๏ธ๐๐งฃ
We flew from NYC to Germany yesterday. ๐๐ I didn't sleep on this flight. We were up for over 24 hours, so lots of sleep to catch up on... ๐ด I hope you're staying warm! ๐งค๐งฅ๐งฆ

Hikes with waterfalls are the BEST! โฐ๏ธ I love hearing the sound of running water and crunching leaves. Trying to soak up the gorgeous fall colors before winter comes. ๐๐๐
