2016.

The year Rachel and I made our dreams of travel a reality by leaving in June clutching a one-way boarding pass to Dublin, Ireland.

We learned life changing insights about ourselves and the world we live in. We got to travel back to cities we’ve held close to us for...

While still in Thailand, Rach and I got countless awesome recommendations from backpackers on Vietnam, our next destination after Thailand that we hadn’t exactly planned out. We consistently heard mentions of Hoi An, a small, tranquil place on Vietnam's central coast.

W...

Zagreb was our first stop in the beautiful country of Croatia. This city is a fantastic introduction to Croatian major cities: clean, quaint and outdoorsy while still maintaining that metropolitan feel. Everything is also very nicely laid out in Zagreb; there are signs...

We were so lucky to meet Marty and Karen while in Venice, Italy. All four of us were staying in the same Airbnb; Rachel and I walked in from a day of exploring and ended up meeting and chatting with this adventurous, wise, lovely couple for hours.

Nestled between beautiful mountains on the border of northeastern Italy sits Bovec, a small town in Slovenia of under 2,000 people. Two trains and a taxi ride over the Italy/Slovenia border later, Rachel and I arrived in Bovec, not knowing at all what to expect.

When we...

When Rachel and I arrived in Venice, our Airbnb host was nice enough to give us recommendations on what to do. He showed us a guide he and his wife had put together on Venice’s sites and history, along with fun day trips to take. This is what we love about Airbnb: meet...

Our second Trekker Session is with Meesh Jensen, who we were lucky enough to meet in Glencolmcille, a tiny town in County Donegal, Ireland that definitely has more sheep than people. We loved it.

We met Meesh during breakfast at the hostel and clicked right away. The th...

Today getting off the bus from Zadar, Croatia into Split, I rubbed my red, sore shoulders after throwing my backpack off while Rach and I figured how to get to our Airbnb. Twenty seconds later, map out, destination known, it was time to get that thing on again. Tired,...
