With its allure of beautiful mosques, the Marmara Sea, and plentiful street food options, booking a flight to Istanbul is easy. What’s less easy, is deciding where to stay in this sprawling megacity that spans two continents. After way too much deliberation, we finally settled on the district of Zeytinburnu in Istanbul – a working-class …
Accessibility to airport lounges has become easier than ever with travel credit cards, Priority Pass, and points redemptions for an upgraded seat class. So, on our latest sabbatical leaving out of Washington, Dulles (IAD), we thought we would take full advantage of this and hop around the lounges we had access to. We arrived at the …

It’s that time of year again when we celebrate the beginning of a new age with a new adventure. In the past, Matt has taken me glamping in western Maryland, driving on the tail of the dragon, and dessert hopping in Belgrade, Serbia for my birthdays.

Unfortunately, we all know how 2020 turned out. For us, that meant cancelled flights, disrupted plans, and no entry into Portugal. …

It appeared in our lives at the exact right moment. When the world was closing its doors, our mailbox was being flung wide open. Sitting alone in our Tbilisi apartment, it was as if the Universe was trying to point us in the right direction. A way to connect with others during one of the …

As the train pulled into the station in Moravska Nova Ves, we hoisted our heavy backpacks onto our tired bodies and trudged our way onto the empty platform. Like always, our heads were on a swivel attempting to figure out our surroundings and plot our next move. Usually this involves spinning in circles and trying …

She is to Georgia what a cherry is to a sundae; What the star is to a Christmas tree; A crown to a queen. Mount Kazbek. This dormant stratovolcano, not without its share of legends, may only be the third highest peak in the country and the seventh highest in the Caucasus Mountains, but it …
