365 days in a year. As I sit here typing, we are down to the final few of 2019. Our year has unfolded in ways we never could have imagined. Life on the road is a constant challenge, but one we happily accept. This year marked the beginning of our marriage, our foray into the …
The Republic of Georgia is known for being the oldest wine growing region in the world. And they do make good wine! Trust us, we drank enough of it to verify. Sometimes, however, there’s nothing like a good craft beer at the local breweries. What I discovered shortly after arriving to Tbilisi, is that Georgia …

We must have been chatting a bit too loudly when it happened. An older, very angry woman stood up and began shouting at us in Romanian. We were aboard the overnight train from Bucharest to Oradea and were deep in discussion with our new Romanian friend. The woman didn’t appreciate this and directed her anger …

When Megan and I arrived to Datca Vineyard in southern Turkey we didn’t know that we would be in the middle of so many olive groves. After only a couple of days being here it was time for the olive harvest to begin. From this point on, Megan and I will always question the quality …

Usually when I think of free food, thoughts of Costco on Saturday mornings and sad pushcarts with frozen weenies come to mind. But an entire tour around a city sampling some of the most traditional foods it has to offer – pshh, unheard of! Well, that’s exactly what was waiting for us in Sofia, Bulgaria. …

It’s been over five months since we first touched down in Marrakech. This spring, we flew into the “Red City” in our quest to explore the magical country of Morocco. Unintentionally, a comprehensive review of our visit was put on the back burner as we weren’t sure how to quite sum up our experience. Prior …
