We recently returned from the trip of a lifetime: circumnavigating the arctic island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago of islands located north of the mainland, a 2 hour flight from Tromso. Together we embarked on a 10-day excursion on the M/S quest ship with Polarquest (Expedition Svalbard). Our goal was to experience the beautiful and…
Read the PostThree years ago we set off on the Europe road trip that changed everything. We left home, started an Instagram to share photos with friends and family, and took off hit some undiscovered spots in Europe alongside a few favorites we’d made it to in the past. At the time, we had no idea this was the start to an…
Read the PostLast month we spent three weeks in the south of France, starting with the French Riviera. This part of France is known for incredible ocean views, picturesque towns, and delicious restaurants. We felt right at home the moment we arrived at our first stop just outside of Nice, the seaside town of Villefrance-Sur-Mer. From there, our day trips consisted of…
Read the Post Our first time in India was one of the most hectic, wonderful, and awe-inspiring experiences. We caught the sunrise from the top of Delhi’s old spice market; experienced Holi festival in the birthplace of Hindu god Lord Krishna; managed to be the first ones to enter the gates of the Taj Mahal at 5am; narrowly missed cows, monkeys and…

Her family and a few friends had gone recently and talked it up, and now it was at the top of her list. Vietnam isn’t the first country that comes to mind for a ‘girls trip’, but I agreed that we…
Read the PostTrue to the way we travel, I really wanted our first trip to India to be a balance of must-see sights and unique experiences. That’s why when I stumbled upon a safari property in India’s Bandhavgarh’s National Park – Samode Safari Lodge – I immediately wanted to tack it on the end of our journey. At first, I wasn’t sure…
Read the PostSummer is right around the corner and it seems the Greek Islands are on everyone’s radar! One of the most common questions I’m receiving lately is how to choose which Greek Island to visit. It’s important to note that there are actually over 6,000 Greek Islands, but only a handful that are well-known and convenient to get to from Athens….
Read the PostAt the start of 2019, Jacob and I made a list of the destinations we want to visit this year. India made the top, as we’ve been intrigued to go for the longest. After researching the best month to visit based on weather, we decided on either March or November. The middle of the year sees much more extreme temperatures…
Read the PostI can confidently say Milos, Greece is one of my favorite destinations to date. Between the unforgettable beaches (if you haven’t seen photos of the ‘moonscapes’ of Sarakiniko Beach, check them out ASAP), delicious fresh seafood, and quaint and uncrowded downtowns, it’s truly a slice of paradise. Milos has a port that connects directly from Athens so it’s the perfect…
