Sometimes you just fall in love instantly with a new city. Not for Dubrovnik Croatia. There are many reasons why we didn't love Dubrovnik, some were our own faults but others we blame on the city. Let us tell you the 4 things you should know before traveling to Dubrovnik and hopefully you won't make the same mistakes we did. 

I feel so incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to travel around the world with the United Nations World Tourism Organization to raise awareness about sustainable travel. This adventure brought me paragliding in Colombia, snorkeling in Mexico and through some of Germany's most magical Christmas markets. Come along on my journey and read my deep thoughts, funny wonderings and most memorable stories and pictures!

2017 was the year where we worked at a ski resort, lived in a campervan, and moved to Thailand to start working on this blog full time. 2017 was a year of adventures and lessons that we will take with us for life. We'll take you through our favorite moments and lessons of this year.

When planning the honeymoon of your dreams, it can be overwhelming choosing the perfect location.

What advice would you tell your fresh-out-of-high-school self?

We have so much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, but there are a few people who deserve the biggest of thank yous...

How a big disappointment helped us figure out what's next on this journey we call life.

If you're planning on traveling long-term with your dream girl, you'll want to read this before you board your plane. I'm sharing a few words of warning and have some advice you won't want to miss!

We asked you to send us any questions you have about traveling and here are our answers. Watch along as we share some personal stories and great travel tips.

We should be in Rio now, but we're not. This journey to the Olympics has been filled with frustration and disappointment. But it taught us a lesson that you won't expect. 

We knew when we left for this year-long trip, we'd be making a lot of sacrifices. We would miss weddings, births and graduations. We would miss celebrations with old friends and holidays with families. But we never thought we would have to experience the death of a love one.

As the 4th of July approaches, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on what traveling around the world has taught us about being Americans. Traveling and living overseas for nearly 6 years has taught us what the rest of the world things about our country — the good, the bad, and the ugly. We have been exposed to the faults of the United States, as well as all the things we have to be grateful for. It’s true what they say: Sometimes you have to step away from something to understand it more.

Many of us in our daily lives struggle between wanting to give more and also be frugal. This is also true when traveling. But do you take it to the extreme when traveling overseas? Is it actually possible to travel responsibly AND on a budget? I think so and here’s why…

This question keeps getting asked, and now we finally have an answer...

I have kind of a love-hate relationship with India. Here's why...

Travel isn't always perfect. Sometimes things go wrong. Very wrong. Check out these travel horror stories submitted by readers (plus one of our own!) that will make your skin crawl...

We have been so privileged to be able to do quite a bit of traveling. But it’s sunshine and mojitos every day. There are days when traveling straight up sucks! People often only share the best moments of their lives with the rest of the world; and we’re as guilty as anyone. We've decided to share some of the not-so-fun parts of traveling that you won't see us posting about on Instagram...

Most people keep a few things from their parents, but we've kept a LOT of secrets while we've been traveling. We're finally ready to spill!

Ever wonder what it's like to trek in the high altitude Himalayas? Come along with us as we describe each step of the journey to Everest Base Camp. We'll tell you what was going through out heads on the trail and our feeling about the Everest Base Camp trek. 

My 27th year has shifted the way I think about life, careers, money, aging, and travel. And while I could ramble on about all these topics for days, I'll spare you and talk only about the last. This is a travel blog after all.

I too have been guilty of believing the naïve idea that all you have to do is want it enough and travel will just happen; and that people who aren’t traveling just don’t desire it as much as I do. But this is far from the truth. I’ve taken some time to reflect on this travel-snobbery mentality myself, and I have a few words to say...

Travel is often thought of as a frivolous, self-indulgent activity. And sometimes it is. But what we often overlook are the life-changing lessons that travel teaches us. 

We'd all like to think that travel is inexplicably good. Traveling allows us to experience a culture different from our own and see things that we could never see at home. But there's a dark side. A dangerous side we rarely talk about and continuiously shield our eyes from. 

That's right, I have some beef with Bucket Lists. But it may not be what you're thinking...

2015 has been a year of firsts, of goodbyes, and welcomes. And it was nearly impossible to choose just 15 memories, but here are a few that stood out amongst the rest...
