I could hear the buzzing as I lay in bed with my eyes closed. Inside the wall just a couple of feet from our bed, there were thousands of bees. We were spending the night in an adorable little cabin in the mountains of Slovenia,...
We weren’t expecting much from the town of Churchill, Manitoba. Churchill is a tiny, isolated town in the north, after all. We visited for the polar bears and beluga whales, but we left with a love for both the town and the people that call...
I’ve wanted to visit Singapore ever since elementary school when I heard that chewing gum was banned there. The more I learned about the city-state, the more intrigued I became. I’m so glad we finally had a chance to visit and explore all the wonderful...
Happy Earth Day! 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Even though it’s been a weird and unfortunate year so far (hello social distancing, stay at home orders, and health and economic decline for so many), there are still plenty of ways to connect...
Churchill is home to so many wonderful adventures. With the potential of polar bear run ins, we would have thought exploring on foot and hiking in Churchill would be mostly off limits. But this couldn’t have been further from the truth! During our visit with...
Micah and I lived in South Florida for four years, and we were based an hour north of Miami. We’ve made our way south to Miami many times over the years. But still, every time we visit, we find something new and exciting to do....
We just learned about an exciting website called Grabr, and it’s a great way to make some extra cash when you travel! Imagine rolling up to a destination abroad, meeting with a local, delivering a requested product, and getting paid for it. Well, if you...
During my November visit to Latvia, my first order of business consisted of a two-day adventure in Gauja National Park and Sigulda. It was a whirlwind tour to explore the outdoors and a couple of adorable towns outside the capital region of Riga. Micah was on...
Churchill, Manitoba, offers summer visitors plenty of options for interacting with and viewing wildlife. We spent lots of time with the playful beluga whales, and we even lucked out and spotted plenty of polar bears on both a Tundra Buggy and a helicopter. Another fun...
Polar bears are typically the biggest draw for visitors coming to Churchill, Manitoba, but there is a different white mammal that also gets much deserved attention in the summer months: beluga whales! We made our way to Churchill this past summer on a trip hosted by...
Micah and I kept our eyes peeled as our Tundra Buggy bounced along bumpy trails created by the military in the 1950’s. The buggy was over 10 feet off the ground with 5.5-foot-high tires; it looked like a giant monster truck version of a school...
Peering over the edge of the window, I looked down at white sand and aqua waters. If I didn’t know better, I’d think we were flying through the Caribbean. In reality, that couldn’t have been much further from the truth. Where were we? We were...
