Oslo’s Vigeland Park Under Snow
We visited Oslo for a quick two days last March on our trip to the High Arctic with Visit Norway, but unfortunately missed out on one of Oslo’s must see attractions: Vigeland Park. So when we found ourselves back in Oslo for just 24 hours en-route to Iceland, we knew we just had to make […]
Wine Tasting Beneath Budapest at Faust Wine Cellar
Let us introduce you to Hungarian wines and Gábor Nagy, owner and wine sommelier of Faust Wine Cellar in Budapest. We met Gábor in 2010 when we first visited Faust Wine Cellar and were so pleased he invited us (and Emma) to stop by for a tasting when we were in Budapest just before Christmas. […]
Anantara Kihavah Villas Maldives: Paradise on Earth
More than a decade ago when email forwards were all the rage, Tim and I received a forward of a bungalow over some of the bluest, clearest water we had ever seen. It had glass portals in the floor to watch the fish below and it looked absolutely magical. It turned out to be in […]
Flying in a Seaplane Over the Maldives
The Maldives are one of the most isolated groups of islands in the world. It’s actually much easier and less expensive to get to the Maldives than even just 10 years ago.

But […]

We drank elephant poo coffee. A crap-uccino as some have called it jokingly. Yes, you read that right. And we think it’s a great cup of coffee! Officially it’s called Black Ivory and it’s the rarest and the world’s most expensive coffee. So what makes it the world’s most expensive coffee? Black Ivory coffee is […]
Tales of Iceland Elves and Trolls
The majority of Icelanders believe in, or at least refuse to the deny the existence of elves, trolls, and other hidden beings. Cut off from the rest of the world for centuries, Icelanders developed a rich storytelling tradition and stories about elves and hidden people are still part of their heritage today. We spent most […]
Passignano Sul Trasimeno: Medieval Town on Lake Trasimeno
Umbria is one of Italy’s smallest regions and the only peninsular region that is completely landlocked. It may be landlocked, but Umbria is home to Italy’s largest non-alpine lake: Lago Trasimeno. Lake Trasimeno existed even in prehistoric times and has a long history; Hannibal even defeated the Romans there in 217 BC. Fast forward thousands […]
