Nice to meet you!
I’m Em — the girl behind Em Explores. After moving from the East Coast USA to Southern Germany, travel became less about ticking boxes and more about meaningful experiences. Here you’ll find travel guides, secret stays, and hiking adventures designed especially for curious women with limited PTO and big wanderlust.
Equal parts boujie and bodenständig, Em Explores helps you travel intentionally and come home with stories worth telling.

Greetings from Montafon…
A peaceful valley tucked between the Austrian Alps that feels worlds away from everyday life.
From misty morning hikes to golden-hour sunsets behind the peaks, Montafon is the kind of place that invites you to slow down and breathe a little deeper.
My home base for the trip was Tante Anna in St. Gallenkirch — a blend of thoughtful design, cozy alpine charm, and an easy sense of calm that stays with you long after you leave.
