Once Upon an Oktoberfest: A Love That Went the Distance

As a single, wanderlust, American girl flying abroad to this epic party, my interest in attending centered around the free-flowing beer, the crazy atmosphere, and the slight chance for a make-out session with a foreigner. I never expected to meet my soul mate at Oktoberfest. Karl being from England and I from the U.S., the odds were more than stacked against us to pull off a long-distance relationship, but we were both up for the challenge. Spanning multiple daily FaceTime chats, bouts of separation heartache, and jet-setting around the world every 6-8 weeks to see one another, this is the modern-day, uncensored, real-life travel “fairytale” of how we went the distance to our happily ever after.
