I can’t actually figure out if I love Prague, or if I love Prague in Fall specifically. Autumn has turned what I’m sure is an already beautiful city and painted it with the most stunning reds and sparkling golds and popping yellows. I have walked into a fall fairy tale, and the coming weeks will …
This is our second year in a row at Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, and we truly love it (obviously, what’s not to love). Even having done my research the first time around, Oktoberfest was not at all what I expected. I couldn’t fully comprehend the size or energy or quality of the festival until I …
If you asked me before we started this year-long trip what my favorite city was, my answer was always “Munich during Oktoberfest or London any other time of year.” The first time I stepped off the train and into Marienplatz, I just fell in love with the city. After making our way through many amazing …
One of my best tips for cooking while traveling is to cook local foods. Not only does this let you participate in a country’s food culture without spending money on going out to eat all the time, but it also allows you the opportunity to cook new foods that you wouldn’t or couldn’t cook at …
They love Fiestas Patrias, or Independence Day, in Santiago. I’m talking five-day festivals, decorations in every bar and restaurant for weeks, and flags everywhere. People seem to be more excited about Independence Day than we’ve ever seen anyone be about futbal (and they also love futbal in South America). We didn’t plan to be in Santiago for …
I’m excited to share my first post for a new series on Lattes & Runways: Recipes from the Road. In this series, I’ll take you into the Airbnb kitchens we find ourselves in and the meals we make in them. I’ve found fairly little information about this topic around the travel community, and I’m hoping …
The technology for this trip was easily the most expensive part of our packing list. Because of that, we put a lot of thought and planning into what we wanted to purchase and bring with us. It needed to be reliable, small and multi-functional. Not only did we need physical devices, we also needed to …
Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a pretty massive undertaking. Due to limited permits allowed on the trail, you have to pay a hefty fee and plan so far in advance. Once you’ve booked your trek, you now have six months (or more) to work out the details like your flight and accommodations, …

We have arrived at our last country in South America! That means only five more days of bumbling Spanish, business hours we will never understand and history lessons of Spanish conquests of ancient civilizations. In a way, I can’t believe we’re already here, and yet it also feels like a lifetime ago that we got off …
