We’ve told a lot of stories in the past 457 days. We’ve recapped our 15-month journey with photos, introduced you to elephants in Thailand with videos, and described each of the 135 thoughts we had hiking the Inca Trail with words. Our favorite stories we’ve told, though, have been with numbers. Our Travel by Numbers …
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 …
Today we celebrate! We traveled the world for an entire year! It’s so weird to think that a year ago today, we were already on the road living this crazy lifestyle. It feels like we just left Chicago, and yet if we’d stuck with our original plan to travel the world for a year, our trip …
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 — …

I never considered myself an animal person. Other than birds, which I love, I’ve never really cared too much about animals. Or so I thought. Then we started traveling the world. The more we traveled, the more animals I met, the more I started loving them. I met exotic animals that I’d only ever seen …
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 …
If you want to be an expert world traveler, you should start by traveling to Egypt. The country can be completely overwhelming. It is loud and fast, hot and dirty. It demands your attention and sucks your energy, but it gives back so much more than it takes. If you can learn these lessons and …
Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one still standing. An engineering marvel, a testament of human strength and ingenuity and a fascinating window into the Egyptian civilizations that ruled the land over 4,500 years ago. The Great Pyramid towers over the desert landscape of Giza. …
