Venice was nothing like I expected. One of the most famous cities in the world, I had imagined a thriving metropolis with all of the usual characters – traffic, brand names, and bumbling crowds. Instead, I was met with what become one of my favorite cities in the world. With a population of about 60,000Continue reading “Are The Gondolas Of Venice Worth It?”

Iceland – Reykjavík
In case you missed it… After dropping Anna off at the airport, we made our way back towards Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland and home to about 2/3 of the country’s population. We were going to be here for just one night before heading off to Akureyri for a few days and returning forContinue reading “Iceland – Reykjavík”
Iceland – Vík To Höfn
Continued from Part 1. From here, we headed east along the Ring Road. We took a few short stops during our drive, but one was extra epic. There was a gravel road that ran off of the highway and we decided to follow it. Thankfully, we had a 4×4 vehicle because this drive was bumpy.Continue reading “Iceland – Vík To Höfn”
Iceland – Keflavík To Vík
Our Roadtrip Around The Southern Half Of The Island Nation Rachel responded to a post she saw on Instagram from a couples photographer who was looking to go to Iceland and invited a couple along to split the cost in exchange for a photo shoot.

When we arrived at the airport,Continue reading “Why Brussels Is Where I Fell In Love With Europe”

Why You Should Visit The Catacombs of Paris
*Warning – some may find pictures below disturbing* There aren’t many things that I’m afraid of. Bears, snakes, spiders, no problem. I’ll pet the biggest lion or the slimiest slug. But there are a few things I won’t tread near – the creepy beasts of the world beneath us. I mean… have you seen aContinue reading “Why You Should Visit The Catacombs of Paris”
Cruising Around The Aegean Sea
I never considered taking a cruise before. I envisioned them as either too family-friendly with kids running around, screaming, being in the way or full of old, entitled people, playing bingo and white washing the culture in all of their destinations. I was mostly wrong. As part of my trip to Greece through a groupContinue reading “Cruising Around The Aegean Sea”
How To Explore Prague In A Day
Prague is one of the most walkable cities that I have ever been to. It’s winding, cobblestone streets leading towards Old Town Square are dotted with shops, pubs, restaurants, and more. You can easily pass people without the awkward struggle of waiting for them to make space for you or jumping out of the wayContinue reading “How To Explore Prague In A Day”
