Paros, Greece | Paros is a small island that is part of the Greek Cyclades chain. It is often a stopping point for travelers on their way to more famous islands, like Santorini or Mykonos. If you find yourself on Paros (which you should), you will arrive on a ferry boat in the town of …
Fifteen months after we left on our year-long trip around the world, we’re finally back — back in the US, back to full-time jobs and back to US phone numbers. We’ve returned with memories of medinas in Morocco and alleyways in Australia. We can now say thank you in almost 40 languages. We put condensed …
Spain | Well, folks, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’ve just landed in our last country on our 15-month journey around the world. I’m not sure how that’s possible, because we just left yesterday. It’s so weird that we keep finding ourselves doing things for the last time. Our last budget update. Learning …
Copenhagen, Denmark | Hello from Copenhagen, where the buildings are bright and the bike game is strong! It feels so good to be writing again! Things have been pretty non-stop since we left Greece for Israel in July. We had a 12-day tour in Israel/Palestine/Jordan, three weeks in Italy with my parents, a packed week …
After two jam-packed weeks in Israel/Palestine, it was time for something different. Something way different: we doubled our travel party! My parents decided to come meet us for three weeks in Italy! My mom’s grandfather immigrated to the United States from Sicily when he was a child. Ever since then, just about every generation of …
We did it! We travelled the world for a whole year! In the spirit of Lattes & Runways, we celebrated our One Year Travelversary in Luxembourg with the most delicious almond milk latte of all time. Then we watched the Brazil v. Mexico World Cup soccer match at a pub and talked about how — …
Europe is a great destination for Americans looking to travel internationally for the first time. English is commonly spoken, it’s easy to travel to and between cities and countries, and it offers a beautiful and diverse collection of things to see and do. The cultural differences between Europe and the US aren’t that drastic, but …
Greece was the last checkmark on my original travel Bucket List. (That list has since grown to just include “the world”.) Before I knew anything about travel, I dreamed of flying off to Morocco, Australia, Egypt and Greece. I’m happy to report that Greece was the country that was most like what I dreamed it …
Summer in Europe continues as we make our way to Luxembourg. This country may be small, but man is it beautiful. We spent our first day exploring the main square and walking streets of Ville Haute, taking in the views near Barrio Grund, and drinking a lot of coffee along the way. We’re really zipping along …
Amsterdam is a hard act to follow, and Brussels was dealt that card. If we’d come here on its own as a separate vacation, we would probably really love Brussels. But since so much of our opinion on cities has to do with where they fall in the trip, we haven’t fully committed to loving …
