Within our lifetime, rhinos could become extinct. Completely gone in the wild. Think about it--this magnificent creature could disappear from our planet forever. Rhinos are a critically endangered species: the highest level of endangerment, and they are facing an extremely high risk of extinction. [caption id="attachment_8801"...
Wine isn’t the first thing I think of when I envision Santorini. When I think of Santorini, I see the traditional architecture of white buildings cascading down the caldera edge, beaches, and even donkeys, but not wineries. However, much to my surprise, there were once...
We had heard mixed reviews about the volcano sailing and hiking tour in Santorini, so we decided to play it by ear and leave our plans open ended. Many people said the volcano in Santorini was boring and there was nothing to look at, others...
By far, our favorite activity in Santorini was the hike from Fira to Oia. The views were spectacular and throughout most of the hike, it felt as though we were on the island by ourselves! Due to some pretty high winds, none of the regularly scheduled...
Santorini is a beautiful island. Our stay on the island happened to coincide with a particularly windy week in October. If you were sailing to, from or around the island on any of those days, the wind would be a hinder; however, for us, it...
Happy New Year everyone! 2014 was no doubt an exciting, yet exhausting year. We made some huge changes in our lives, which consisted of moving from Florida back to our home state of Minnesota, plus both of us jumping into freelance full-time. It’s scary and...

We were up in northern Minnesota scouting out winter and holiday scenes for a video project when we came across the Bentleyville Tour of Lights at Bayfront Park in Duluth, aka the “America’s Largest Free Walk Through Lighting Display”. There is also an ice skating...
Chicago is a special place at Christmastime—I always love when cities get all decked out for the holidays and Christmas in Chicago is no exception. We finally had the chance to make a return trip to Chicago, and we are so excited that it could...
Miami is a one of a kind city filled with crazy antics at every turn, and we have grown to enjoy the city after a few years of living only an hour away. Now that we are living back in Minnesota, and we can’t just...
It’s that time again. Time for more street art photos—as I’ve said before, Athens is filled with street art, and supposedly has one of the largest displays in the world. Although initially, street art can make a place seem unsafe and gritty, that’s definitely not...
We arrived in Athens late at night after a flight from Santorini, and we groggily made our way to our hotel without seeing much of the city. So, the next morning was quite a treat when we joined Athens Insiders on a walking and food...
