Vineyards of grapes dot the hillsides in the completely unspoiled countryside of Croatia’s Istrian peninsula. Near Momjan, a charming farmhouse with blue shutters practically beckoned us to visit. With a view of the Dolomites on one side and the lush green leading to the Adriatic Sea on the other, you just get a feeling that […]
Cooling Off in Flagstaff’s Lava River Cave
The Lava River Cave is about 30 minutes outside of Flagstaff, Arizona. The cave was formed about 700,000 years ago, when molten lava erupted out of nearby Harts Prairie. It was found in 1915 by some lumberman. Nowadays, the Lava River Cave is an easy hike and a great place to escape the summer heat […]
10 Water Adventures Around the World
Each Friday on Twitter, there is a popular themed photo sharing hashtag called #FriFotos. We usually just share a few photos on Twitter, but every now and then a theme inspires us to write a #FriFotos post. This week is another fun theme, wet, so we compiled our favorite water adventures (in no particular order): […]
5 Tips for Obtaining a Russian Visa
Obtaining a Russian visa can be a long and expensive process for US citizens, especially if you actually reside outside of the United States like us. To be completely honest, the process was extremely frustrating for us. We tried using the regular United States Postal Service at first instead of expensive international FedEx, only further […]
Wine Wednesday: Scenes from Istria’s Wine Roads
Mention Croatia even just a few years ago and you’d be met with questions like “Where’s that?” and “Is it safe?” But as happens when celebrities like Beyoncé and Jay-Z are spotted frolicking on the beaches or a mega-popular hit TV series like Games of Thrones films there, Croatia has burst onto the scene as […]
Rome’s Borghese Gardens and Villa Borghese
Admittedly, part of the charm of Rome is the absolute electricity emanating from the Eternal City every second of the day. Vespas buzz by the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps are a playground for lovers (and cat-calling Romans), and the Trevi Fountain radiates the wishes of a return. But even in the most captivating cities, it’s […]
Grotto of Catullus and Sirmione
Sirmione is a fortified town that juts out onto Lake Garda on the Sirmio Peninsula. Having never been to Sirmione even though it is a mere two hours away, and trying to travel a little more closer to home these days, we decided to pay a visit. We mainly wanted to see the Grotto of […]
Wine Wednesday: Dinner Amongst the Vines
I was absolutely starving. We had been wandering around the Roman Ruins and lakeside town of Sirmione all day in the heat. Every restaurant menu in Sirmione featured fish and seafood, presumably not fresh from the lake since I’ve never heard of a lake squid, at nearly triple the price I’ve seen anywhere else in […]
Gromo Medieval Fair
One of our favorite ways to explore Italy is by car. Though there is a pretty good train infrastructure in Italy, we find it is usually more expensive to travel longer distances by train for two people and the train just doesn’t afford us the freedom to get off-the-tourist-path like a car does. As we […]
Cascate del Serio: Italy’s Highest Waterfall
We’ve lived in Italy for a little more than four years now and we still have so much of it to discover. While admittedly we’re a little worn out on just walking around old cities, we’ve turned our focus to much more adventure travel around Italy like exploring Italy’s many caves, camping, and long distance […]
