Reminiscence of and feature on Franzi’s travels, including a brand new “Franzi&Franzi”

My last posting concluded my account on Franzi’s July 2024 weekend trip crossdressed to Düsseldorf. It was Franzi’s fourth such trip within the last two years. There were quite a number of comments posted on my contributions, which I am always very grateful for. In parallel, I have run a series of 9 pictures entitled “Relishing the countless joys of travelling en femme” on CDH, to which you can find a link in my “Blogs that I follow.” If you are interested in the many great comments received there, please check them out. They are all publicly accessible, as well as all others of my public profile pictures.   Franzi&Franzi #6 Incidentally, I went to Düsseldorf on business (in drab, of course) a few weeks after my weekend trip crossdressed. And as I was taking the train, I of course paid a visit to that very pub, featured in my last posting, to have an “Altbier” and to take the picture on the right below. Unfortunately, I could not pick the exact same angle, as in the picture on ...

Next Steps!

With the new year, we are moving into the second half of 2024 in terms of Franziska’s days out and about. And this second half of the year started with a wonderful weekend trip en femme to the city of Düsseldorf. As with the previous three trips to Stuttgart , Munich , and Cologne , Franziska left home en femme with a suitcase full of exclusively femme outfits. The coming 9 postings will provide you with the full picture (no pun intended), all outfits, and all activities of this wonderful femme experience. Stay tuned, we’ll get started soon. “Franzi & Franzi” (#5) I keep a separate small collection of pictures, showing Franzi at specific places, be it touristic highlights in the city of Frankfurt or some of her regular hangouts. And if occasion arises, I will take the matching picture of Franzi’s male alter ego at that very place. And occasionally, I will post one of these sets. You can find them under the label “Franzi&Franzi” So here is a recent one at a small local Itali...

In my posting “Practice makes the mistress” from 22.11.2023, I told you that I had received a new professional challenge in 2015, which lead to the fact that I spent the week elsewhere, while being at home on the weekends only. This situation allowed for regular shorter outings in the evening during the week, some of them as short as an hour or two.   In the upcoming postings, I will provide some picture from this period, in which my skills and my self-confidence grew significantly. We’ll work our way backwards in time, starting in June 2018. “Franzi & Franzi” (#4) We’ll start with a “Franzi & Franzi” from this period. The two pictures were taken within a few weeks. As you can see, I had ordered the same appetizer – a grilled slice of cucumber, goat cheese, and tomatoes, even though it looks a little different – in both visits to this very nice restaurant in walking distance to my apartment.

Those crossdressers amongst you who go out en femme regularly – like me – how often do you have a chance to do that? For me, that is about once per month. If I manage to have 12-15 full days out and about, it is a great year in terms of crossdressing. There are many reasons for which I do not manage to take these precious days out of my regular agenda, such as: a full life as a man and husband, a demanding corporate job, private responsibilities, such as organizing or fixing things, many other interests, shared and pursued together with my wife, such as travelling/vacationing, active sports, visiting friends, being visited by friends, visiting wine festivals, going to museums, etc. … Writing out this list, I now wonder how I find time at all to let Franziska off the leash.   The year 2023 was one of those years where it seemed very difficult to set aside Franzi-time. A weekend trip to Cologne in mid-June was Franzi’s first chance in the year at all to resurface. But it was a great ...

Next steps!

On January 20 th , 2023, a posting called “Next steps!” announced that it was time to move into 2022. And into 2022 we moved! I published 24 postings on Franziska’s 16 days out and about in the year 2022, including two fantastic weekend trips. In the coming weeks, I’ll be dipping into the archives a bit and report on the second half of the year 2018, before we move to Franzi's days out and about in 2023. Given the fact that it’s been five years since these outings, my memory on those is growing thin and I will likely focus on pictures. …. I know you all love pictures! …. And these pictures might help me to recall what has happened and how the outing felt. “Franzi & Franzi” (#2) In order to not let this posting go without a picture, I selected another “Franzi & Franzi” for you. These two  pictures were taken in the summer of 2023 and show Franziska and her alter ego at one of the wine hot spots in Frankfurt’s “New Old Town.” You might also recognize that the picture on the r...

Next steps!

Since my last recollection under the post title “Next Steps!” on March 10, 2023, Franziska has provided you with 9 postings, including those covering a fantastic 3-day trip crossdressed to Stuttgart in July 2022. Just thinking about this, about the beautiful clothes I got to wear and the wonderful outfits I was able to put together, makes me shiver. By now, I have taken two more trips en femme, one covering four days – Thursday till Sunday – in November 2022 to Munich and one covering two days en femme (followed by a return trip in drab on Sunday morning) just recently to Cologne. Both trips were again nothing less than fantastic. All plans worked out fine, no issues arose, and I was again able to experience new activities en femme and to wear wonderful new outfits.  Next week, I will start to report about the trip to Munich in a total of eight blog postings. These include activities enjoyed en femme, such as train traveling, eating out, shopping, exploring Schwabing, strolling ove...

Thank you very much for visiting my blog. You might have seen the visitors score to this blog go up, thanks to you. I am very happy about it. Google’s Blogger provides some more statistics to the blog owner, such as visits per week, per day, per posting, country of origin, etc. Hence, I do know you are out there 😉 . One of my fellow bloggers compared blogging to hosting a radio show, not knowing who’s listening, if they enjoy the show, and what they might like about it. So h ere’s my pledge: if you leave a comment or question to any of my postings, I’ll promise to reply. In the last seven postings, we covered the first five days out and about in 2022.  Next week, I will begin a series of seven postings with reports and pictures from Franziska’s three-day weekend trip to Stuttgart. As I had said before, I try to challenge myself to new experiences en femme. And one new experience in 2022 was a weekend trip all en femme. I had planned that trip for a couple of months, I booked ...

That was it – for 2019. For those of you who are new to this blog or have not yet taken the time to read through it, here is a short wrap-up and some “statistics”: I have been going out as Franziska for exactly 10 years this January and have done so exactly 97 times, with thousands of pictures taken. My ambition is to go out at least once per month, which obviously did not work out on average. Nonetheless, I am very happy with what I have achieved. My top years in terms of number of outings were 2016 and 2017 with 22, respectively 20, however most of those were short 4-hour outings on a weeknight. The absolute lowlight was 2021, with one single day out and about.   This blog, which I only started in October 2022, has by now covered all outings of 2020, the one single outing in 2021, and most recently those of 2019. I will definitely look back in time some more, as there were great outings in the years 2013 to 2018, but we’ll see how far we will get.   With the next posting, we...

I started this blog in October 2022 and decided to begin with pictures of Franziska’s days out and about from the year 2020 and the little there was to report about in 2021. The year 2022 was a year full of new experiences for Franziska, foremost due two extended weekend trips, three days in Stuttgart and four days in Munich that this blog will report about in due time. But now we’ll first look back in time to Franziska’s days out and about of 2019. These were also a lot of fun. Love,    Franzi
