London is a city that never goes out of style. Some of the most famous spots — Big Ben, the Parliament building, and Buckingham Palace to name a few — are always worth a visit. But my favorite trips are ones that combine must-see sights with the charming nooks and crannies of the city…and London has a lot of them!…
Read the PostNeuschwanstein Castle is one of the most famous castles in Europe. It’s nestled in the mountains of Bavaria near the charming town of Füssen, Germany.

Read the PostOver the weekend Amsterdam’s canals froze over and it was one of the most amazing sights we’ve ever seen. To give you an idea of how rare this is, the last time it happened was over 6 years ago! The Dutch don’t hesitate to take advantage of an opportunity to ice skate.
