Our favorite destinations in the world!
Everyone wants to visit Glacier National Park…like 3 million people a year. But what many park-goers don’t realize is that most of Western Montana was carved by the same glacial activity, offering so many other stunning mountains, lakes, rivers, and forests—with a fraction of the tourists. To help more people find the lesser-known gems and…
What are we doing for our 10th year on honeymoon? We’re going on a quest for the 10 most romantic and sustainable destinations in the world! Places that aren’t just trying to be green, but those who’ve made it their compass. Tourism that actively makes the surrounding environment and communities stronger, all while inspiring their…
January 22, 2022 marked TEN YEARS since we left on our HoneyTrek. It was supposed to be a one-year honeymoon to check off everything on our bucket list, but we quickly realized that’s not what it was about. It is about getting off that track, connecting with locals, and finding (and creating) the good in…
It was blizzarding in Quebec City; the forecast was calling for ten inches of snow and a high temp of 8°F. You’d think this would’ve been a day to stay home, but no, that’s not how the Quebecois roll. They bundle up the kids, put grandma on a ski-wheelchair (no joke!), and pack their Caribou…
Is it just us, or was 2021 somehow harder than 2020? That first stroke of midnight 364 days ago felt like a fresh start for the world…but instead, it became a waiting game of “When will this get better?” Upon realizing there wasn’t going to be an “end date,” we got vaccinated and moved forward…
Traveling every day since January 2102, we’ve gained a treasure trove of memories. We’ve seen the sunrise over 20,000-foot peaks, walked the streets of ancient civilizations, and met hundreds of people we now call friends. Countless moments brought a smile to our faces, though there are a few that have left a deep imprint on…
The Society Islands…jagged mountains, white sand beaches, over-water bungalows, tropical forests, sounds of ukuleles, and scents of gardenia…it’s a honeymoon dreamland. But too often, couples fly from Tahiti to Bora Bora and miss the incredible islands in between! Keeping with the seafaring tradition of Polynesia, a small ship is hands down the best way to…
Part turtle sanctuary, part permaculture farm, part luxury resort, and 100% off grid, Playa Viva is not just thinking about the well being of their guests but that of future generations. We found out about this forward-thinking eco-lodge while researching the “Conservation” chapter of our glamping book, Comfortably Wild, and recently had the chance to…
Guanajuato, Mexico has always marched to the beat of a different drummer. It’s the state that began the fight for Mexican Independence. It’s a place where artists come to be classically trained and paint outside the lines. It’s also home to Travel + Leisure’s “2021 World’s Best City.” While San Miguel de Allende may be…
Guanajuato City feels like one of the happiest places on Earth. The cradle of Mexican Independence, nationals come here to pay homage to their forefathers and celebrate all night long. The city doesn’t get many international tourists—making it one of the country’s best-kept secrets. We first came to this state capital in 2016 and were…
When you say the word Oaxaca (wa-haa-kah) to someone who’s been there, their reaction is almost universal: “Ooooo…Oaxaca is amazing.” Known for its indigenous culture, colonial architecture, ancient ruins, homespun mezcal, pristine beaches, and robust cuisine, the Mexican state of Oaxaca has a lot going for it. We spent a week in their UNESCO city…
