The Carry-On Luggage We Used To Travel The World for a Year

Figuring out what luggage we wanted to bring on our RTW trip was a whole task in itself.  There are so many options to choose from, and having never been on a long-term trip ourselves, we weren't sure where to even start.  We did a lot of research scouring many travel blogs, forums, reviews of what...

Truffle Hunting Tour in Prague

Breathtaking Cappadocia from a Hot Air Balloon

After the madness of Morocco, we were headed to our next country - Turkey! We had a stopover in Geneva, Switzerland where Minh looked at the backside of a posted dial clock (looking at the hands backwards) at the airport and thought we were going to miss our connecting...

Must-Do in Morocco – 3 Day Desert Trek

When going to Morocco, a MUST do is going on a desert trek. You’ll find that there are numerous companies selling tours within the Medina in Marrakesh. They all practically have the same itinerary, but the quality of the van, driver, and guides are what differ between the tours. Minh and I had read...
