Denmark

Pack your smørrebrød and your sense of wonder — we’re off to Denmark! From castles that float to bridges that go in circles (on purpose), this little country packs in a big dose of charm.

Italy

Beginning in Rome and making our way up to Florence, our Italian Adventure was full of gorgeous cathedrals, mom and pop shops, delicious pasta, and too many Italian dogs to count.

A Highway Guide to Nevada

From the shores of Lake Tahoe to the allusive Area 51 and to the majestic Hoover Dam, our Nevada road trip was full of unique signs, historic towns, and a handful of tumbleweeds.

Switzerland

From exploring art museums in Basel, to not lifting a finger at luxurious hotels, and to visiting charming Swiss chalets, our second trip to the Land of Milk and Honey was just as magical as the first.

The Seventh Continent

All aboard! We embark from the end of the world aboard the MS Roald Amundsen on a (shivery) trip of a lifetime!

A Curious Scottish Excursion

Over a century ago, Phileas Fogg circumnavigated the globe over 80 trips around the sun. Taking a page out of his whimsical legacy, we found ourselves on a similarly audacious adventure—in Scotland.
