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. This year, we stayed relatively close to home and …
“We’re here for a good time, not for a long time!” That was our motto during our recent trip to Beantown. When Southwest has a good deal, you must strike when the iron is hot! So without much of a plan, other than to sample the new Chase Sapphire Lounge in the Boston Logan International …
For years, the Chase Sapphire Reserve card has granted us access to the vast network of Priority Pass lounges around the globe. While some of them are no doubt more lavish than others, in almost all cases, having somewhere to pop in for a bite to eat and to charge our phones is a welcome …
As two people who love to travel and have spent much of the past decade doing just that, it’s embarrassing how little of our own state we have yet to explore. But that ends now! Just one hour north of where we live in Maryland is the charming, historic town of Havre De Grace where …
It’s been almost four years since we were supposed to land in Portugal for the first time. Through Workaway we connected with winemakers who agreed to host us for one week in northern Portugal.

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 …
Most visitors to Georgia start their journey in Tbilisi – a city with so much intrigue woven into it’s very fabric. It would be easy to spend your entire vacation there and still return home utterly content. The magic of Georgia, however, extends well beyond the limits of its capital city. To not make room …
It was our first morning at the Workaway house. Our alarm was set for 7am, though we were awakened long before it ever sounded.
