U.S. NATIONAL PARKS ARE THE BEST. Yellowstone and Glacier are amongst Nathanael and my favorite National Parks. We’ve now made it a point to road trip to both of these twice, so I figured it was about time that I whip up a post for you. If this post sounds…a bit negative, it’s because I […]

Nate and I love a good road trip. This was solidified when we reflected on our 2018-2019 travels and discovered that most of our favorite moments and scenes came from road trips. We simply love the freedom that comes with driving and choosing your own itinerary, both in advance and on the go. So, when […]

Not that they were same, but that Angkor Wat was amazing in a different way. Knowing how much we loved Machu Picchu, we started […]

WE TOOK SEVERAL DAY TRIPS FROM HOI AN. Hoi An is a perfect central hub for exploring the surrounding areas. And you know we like a road trip.

I WOULD GLADLY LIVE IN HOI AN AGAIN. It’s the perfect little city for vacation goers or travelers. You’ve got the beach (which was way nicer than I expected), surrounding mountains, neighboring city – Danang, and the adorable old town of Hoi An. After much research, Nate and I knew we had little interest in […]

HOW DOES ONE ACTUALLY TRAVEL THE WORLD? Sure, you pick locations and book flights, but there is SO MUCH more that has to happen first. (Think logistics). Is your current bank conducive for frequent foreign purchases? Do you need vaccinations? Can you enter the country without a visa? For how long? Do you need travel […]

We certainly were. The Vietnam War Caves were easy to find and cheap to get into. I think we paid […]
