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 …

If it seems like it’s been a while since we’ve shared a recipe from the road, it’s because it has been! We actually haven’t done much cooking since we left Europe back in November, and I’ve missed it! I’m excited to share today’s recipe from the road: Grilled Halloumi Wraps. What is Halloumi? Halloumi is …

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 …

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. …

A lot of thought went into planning my original packing list for long term travel.  I tried to pack light and efficiently. Everything had to serve a purpose (or several) in order to earn its place is my Osprey 40L backpack. The exact items have evolved a little bit, but I still swear by this …

We travel a lot and aren’t easily shaken. We did just fine in Medellin where there was very little English, we loved the ebb and flow of motorbikes in Hanoi, and we thrived in Beijing even though we had no idea what was happening ever. But our first night in Cairo was a lot to …
