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 …
I try to keep up with these Where We Are check-in posts in real time, but I’m actually writing this post from Italy after spending two weeks in Israel. Although we kept incredibly busy in Israel, that’s not why I’m late in writing about it. I put off publishing this post for two reasons. First, …
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 …
Amsterdam is a city of canals, tulips, bikes and “coffeeshops”. It’s the capital of the Netherlands and is located in the region of Holland. Although it’s known around the world for its Red Light District and liberal marijuana laws, as a whole, the city could not be more beautiful. The city is built on a …
Hello, mates! We’re writing to you today from cheery old England! We’ve been to London a few times before actually, but this city keeps calling us back. And every time we come back, it reminds us again and again why it’s one of our favorite cities in the world. This time around we decided to …
When we started planning for this trip, I made a list of countries I was most excited to visit. I feel utterly spoiled as we continue to check countries off the top of that bucket list: Australia, Egypt and now Morocco. We’re two cities into our five-city itinerary, and I think I can safely say that …
