Work Hard. Travel Harder
Oct 25-Nov 24th, 2014 Our 3rd month was extremely varied. We started in cold, crisp Iceland as we trekked on glaciers, went into ice caves and took in the dramatic scenery of the remote country. We warmed up a bit as we hit Germany. To our surprise, we were in Berlin for the 25th anniversary […]
Manila After our motorbike adventures in Thailand, we were onto another new country that neither of us have ever been to. We were really excited about this stretch of the trip because we were heading to the Philippines to hang out with our good friends Carla and Brian, and most importantly, attending their destination wedding! […]
We quit our jobs to see the world, but it’s not ALL fun and games… we actually got to work in Iceland! Before we left on the trip we were planning to go to several Scandinavian countries like Denmark, possibly Sweden and Norway. Seeing the Northern Lights? Yes Please! But Iceland was always in the […]
Reykjavik Images of massive glaciers and volcano’s erupting ran through my mind. Would it be safe to go to such a crazy place? We had been keeping an eye on the Bardarbunga volcano that has been erupting for the last two months. We settled on going after doing a lot of research and concluding that […]
Cork After our initial warm stent in the southern portions of Europe, we were onto our cooler part of the trip. The overall goal for us was to avoid winter but that didn’t mean that we couldn’t enjoy some spots that we love or haven’t yet been to. So we decided to make Ireland part […]
Lagos After a great few days in Lisbon, we were off to a place that we were excited to check out. The Algarves are the southern most region of mainland Portugal on the Atlantic Ocean. The pictures that we had seen online were amazing so we could only imagine seeing the sights in person. […]
I knew little about Portugal before going, but what I did know was intriguing. I knew it had old roots, it had a history of conquests and was home to famous explorers like Vasco da Gama, making it a powerhouse of wealth. I also knew it had warm weather, incredibly picturesque beaches, fresh fish, port […]
Our last stop in France on this trip would be Bordeaux and the surrounding area. To be honest, Marissa and I knew very little about this region other than their reputation for producing some of the best red wines in the world. France is always #1 or #2 in the world in amount of wine […]
Getting There Transit throughout Croatia is not the quickest. There aren’t trains connecting the large cities yet, and while the Dalmatian coast is spotted with large islands, the ferries only go certain days a week to specific islands. Even once you make it onto an island you need to time out your travel in advance […]
Now its real. People know we are going, and what a relief that is!! It feels so great to finally be able to openly talk about the trip. Josh and I have been planning this trip solely within the confines of our apartment and our google shared ‘world travel’ drive for the last 7-8 months. Keeping all […]
