On the day that we left for our ‘Round the World trip, I was less than confident about what was packed to travel the world. I had researched, made a concise long-term travel packing list and had been collecting items for almost six months.… Read the rest
Our two-day detour to Zurich, Switzerland was more about meeting up with longtime friends than it was about visiting the city itself. However, that didn’t keep us from discovering the best sights of the Zurich Old Town! We devised a Zurich self-guided walking tour that would take us through the pristine city, down the shopping lanes, to a few churches and viewpoints – while still allowing enough time for lunch, chocolates and a couple beers.… Read the rest
We are completely enamored by the historic cities along the Adriatic Coast. While they are each unique in their architecture and culture, they are – to a degree – similar in their setting: cobblestone streets, narrow alleyways and wide squares…and not a whole lot of green space.… Read the rest

Ljubljana is a city that lands on every Slovenia itinerary – and for good reason! The capital city looks like a fairy tale with the curving Ljubljanica River flowing through the center and around the hill-topping castle. The pedestrian-only Ljubljana Old City, decorated in ornate architecture and cafe-lined cobblestone streets, is filled with Ljubljana sights!… Read the rest
Budapest, as a city, is an extremely affordable destination. However, as we started our research into what to see and do on a Budapest city break, we quickly realized how easily a budget Budapest trip could go bust. Almost every tourist attraction charges an entry fee – some upwards of nearly $20 USD.… Read the rest
For our first New Year’s Eve abroad, we wanted to party in Madrid. New Year’s Eve in Madrid is regularly touted as one of the top places in the world to bring in the New Year – and we were excited to experience it.… Read the rest
