Mission: Moscow Kremlin
Remember the scene from Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol when Tom Cruise tries to infiltrate the secret Moscow Kremlin archives, but it blows up? We see the red outer walls as Tom Cruise outruns the explosion. We really only see a small part and filming of the scenes was actually done at Prague Castle. In reality, […]
Wine Wednesday: Russian Bourjois Muskat
Moscow has more billionaires per capita than any other city in the world and that’s perhaps why when I think of Moscow, I think of champagne wishes and caviar dreams a la Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous. Of course, champagne can only truly be called champagne if it comes from the Champagne region […]
10 Fun Facts About Russia
Russia is a hard country to travel in. It’s one of the reasons we chose to go with G Adventures on their 8 day Golden Ring of Russia trip. For the first time, we were met with a true language barrier and a bit of culture shock. Things are just different in Russia. But for […]
Wine Wednesday: Kabola Winery’s Terracotta Techniques
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 […]

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 […]
