When in Rome

We ended our 3 week adventure in Italy with 4 days exploring Rome, an architectural lasagna of ruins. Walking through the streets of Rome we stopped to appreciate the ancient columns and buildings seen on every other block.

Road Trip Along the Amalfi Coast

Picturesque beaches, colorful architecture, and mountainous landscapes paint the Amalfi Coast. Despite the stressful driving and crowds, we thoroughly enjoyed our road trip along the coast and would recommend it to anyone adventurous enough to take on Italian roads.

Two Days in Venice

After our eight day trek in the Dolomites, we arrived in Venice by train. Within minutes of walking around the cobblestone streets alongside narrow canals while listening to a street performer play the accordion, I fell in love with Venice. 

Alta Via 1

In August 2018 we spent 8 days in the beautiful Italian Dolomites. The incredible scenery, pleasant weather, and comfortable rifugios made this our new favorite hike.

Visiting the Beer Halls of Munich and Nuremburg

We finished our Germany trip the most German way we could think of, two days in Munich and a stop at the Nuremburg Volksfest. Here we pigged out on beer, wurst, and pretzels and I even got a dirndl! 

Take a Hike in Fussen

Our road trip down the Romantic Road ended in Fussen, home of the Sleeping Beauty castle where the flat farmland meets the snowy Alps. We made the most of our two days in Fussen by hiking and enjoying some German beer on top of a mountain. 

Road Trip Down the Romantic Road

In April 2018 we drove along the Romantic Road in Germany on our second international road trip. Although this drive is much shorter than that of the Ring Road in Iceland, it holds unbelievable charm and spectacular sights.
