How to plan the ultimate three-day ski trip to Kitzbühel Head to this renowned Austrian resort to discover perfectly groomed slopes, fantastic Tyroleon food, a lively town and one of the greatest tests of Alpine skiing.

Apparently, I can’t walk past these surfers in Munich without taking a photo or video. Using an artificial wave in the city centre, they are there day and night, whatever the weather. In fact, when I filmed this the temperature was close to zero! Respect.

There are already many excellent travel writer starter packs circulating but I thought I'd make a Europe-specific one so that colleagues new to Bluesky can see some local faces in their feed. Do share – and though it's nowhere near finished yet, do DM me if I've missed you! go.bsky.app/2bgQ6UY

New here so a quick bit about me: I’m a freelance writer from the UK, now based in Munich. I have lived in the city for almost ten years and Germany for much longer. I cover travel, food, culture and current affairs in the region, mainly for UK publications.

Hi Rossana. Thanks for setting this up. I’d love to be added if possible!
