Work Hard. Travel Harder
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 […]
After a great visit to Paris, I was excited to go to another area that I had previously been to with mixed results – the Loire Valley. Nate and I were there in 2006 as part of our European backpacking trip. We explored some amazing castles and had a little bit too much fun that […]
It is dusk and Josh and I sit down in an open green space of the Champ de Mars park on our spare rain jackets that have become our temporary picnic blanket. We get out a 6 Euro bottle of delicious red Bordeaux wine and set it between us. Taking a pull right from the […]
After the past several days in the islands, we were back on mainland Croatia. Zadar is a city that we really hadn’t heard much about prior to our visit there. To be honest our decision to go there was based only on 2 factors: the amazing and unbelievable Plitvice National Park which I’ll talk about […]
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 […]
After another awesome time in Italy, we were off to a country that neither Marissa or I had ever been, Croatia. We had heard great things about it from other travelers and looked at photos online that took your breath away. We were excited about the amazing blue waters and well preserved walled city that […]
Ahh Rome, The Eternal City! It was good to be back! Josh and I had both been to Rome before when we backpacked with our friends years back, but never together. For me, Rome was one of the first spots I travelled post study abroad in college, and I had fallen in love with it […]
Day trip to Capri Town When leaving the Amalfi Coast, we decided to take a day trip to the Island of Capri before heading to Rome. I had heard it was absolutely breathtaking and have wanted to see it since my last backpacking trip, so I was pretty excited to finally make it there. Josh […]
When doing research about places to go in Italy, we came across some breathtaking photos of small fishing villages with colorful housing that was hanging over the edge of cliffs overlooking crystal clear blue water. We were sold that we had to check it out for ourselves. The Amalfi coast is made up of the […]
Naples After our quick rendezvous with London we decided to go south where it was still beach season- to the land of sunshine, beaches, pasta, and gelato- Italia. Ahhh Italia! We love Italy – with out a doubt one of our favorite countries. I would go so far as to say it is in my […]
