October means Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. Each year around six million people head to this city to eat brats, drink beer (only if they are of age) and attend the Bavarian Oktoberfest. This modern city that is Germany’s most expensive city is found near the Bavarian Alps and the River Isar. The streets are lined with retail stores and BMWs. October in Munich means sixteen days of Bavarian food, rides, drinks, and parties. A great trip for those who love a good time.

Fall is upon us. This means the leaves changing colors. If you are a nature lover and want to see nature transform right in front of your eyes, head to pretty much any national park, such as Yellowstone.
