The Exploring Author

I’m Aaron—an American living in Germany for the past 7 years, taking you on the ground to explore historic sites, scenic towns, and castle ruins across Germany and beyond.

Every episode is an on-the-ground tour featuring charming Old Towns, medieval castles, and ancient sites—blending regional history with the scenic beauty that makes these locations worth visiting (plus the occasional flashlight tour after dark). While my focus is on lesser-known spots away from the crowds, we’ll occasionally check out the more famous locations, too!
