Our tiny cabin dangled from a cable as we stared through the clear glass on the floor. We rose up, higher and higher, towards the lush, green mountains. The floor to ceiling windows gave us views of towering skyscrapers mixed with rugged mountains. We were...
When I spotted a coffee tour in Berlin during our visit to Germany’s capital, I knew we just had to sign up. Coffee is a necessity in our household. A day rarely goes by where we aren’t sipping on multiple cups of joe. Now, we...
Just as we couldn’t resist exploring the Coffee Trail and the Made in CBUS Trail while we were in Columbus, Ohio, we also couldn’t pass up the chance to delve into the Ale Trail. All three of these trails are based on a similar concept—each...
I have to admit that I am slightly…ok completely obsessed with coffee. We have taken several coffee tours in the past, and thankfully, Micah has become a fan of this certain caffeinated beverage in the last several years. So, it goes without saying, when I...
During our weeklong road trip through New York, we just had to explore some of the brewery and winery trails in the Finger Lakes that we had heard so much about. It sometimes seems as though California gets all the attention for the best wineries...

She moved with reverence and grace while we quietly observed every dance-like move. The entire ritual was performed with precision and intention. We were watching an authentic tea ceremony in a 100 year old traditional Geisha ryokan, and it just so happened to be one of...
To continue on my quest of seeking a behind the scenes look into facilities around the world, we ventured across the border to Wisconsin and made a stop at 45th Parallel Distillery for a tour and tasting. The owners originally wanted to open up shop in...
