Read the PostIndia has been at the top of our list forever. Last year Jacob was invited on a fairly last minute work trip that happened to fall over Holi Festival in India. I was a bit more apprehensive of going last minute as I knew it would be tough to navigate (I’m always the planner when it comes to our travels!)….
Read the PostI last left off on day 5 of our adventure with Polarquest, navigating ice floats to see an incredible glacier front called Bråsvellbreen.

Located a couple hours north of the French Riviera and east of the Provence region, the Gorges du Verdon is the perfect add-on to any South of France trip. We visited mid-July and opted to stay nearby in Cotignac, a medieval French town with centuries-old cave buildings and local…
Read the Post Our first time in India was one of the most hectic, wonderful, and awe-inspiring experiences.
