A very sold out Alhambra, many closed businesses for spring break, and a true adventure seeking parking in the city. These were all harsh reminders that Matt and I make excellent vacationers but are still on the journey to becoming experienced backpackers. Our vacations always come with a solid plan and bookings made well in …
The wind was howling, begging for a fight with my freshly curled hair. The smoke from the fire was doing its best to blind us both, and the bitter cold pierced through our skin like a thousand little icicle needles. Despite the elements, nothing could detract from the happiness we felt standing on that Icelandic …

Approximately one year ago… Megan : “We should quit our jobs and travel the world for a year.” Matt : Rolling his eyes, “Yeah, sure.” *Cue mocking laughter* Things over here at Port Wine and Adventure have been a little dry lately. When you’re saving your pennies and binging Netflix is your primary activity of …

*Actually written by: Matthew Reed Whether you are just passing through a new city or it’s in your own backyard, a brewery is a great way to learn about an area and to get a feel for the community it serves. Megan and I find that a brewery is a great pit stop whenever we’re …

Sometimes I wish I was the type of person who was content to spend the day laying on a beach with a good book in my hand. This always sounds great in theory. In reality, five minutes into chapter one and I am restless, irritably hot, and too busy daydreaming about tacos to remember that …

I think it is fully possible to enjoy and appreciate a situation without the need to make it an annual affair. The exception to this? Asheville. Up until about 5 years ago, I probably couldn’t have pinned …

“Don’t ask any questions, don’t touch it, and don’t try to peek under the sheet.” These were Matt’s instructions as he hauled a mystery box half the size of our sofa through the front door to our tiny apartment. Ummm, what? Doesn’t he realize there is no cap to my level of curiosity? I don’t …

Matt and I just returned home from our 2nd annual fishing trip in the Florida Keys. It has quickly become one of our most anticipated vacation spots. I’m not sure I’d survive the summer heat there, but March seems to bring the perfect weather. Flip flops, cool breezes, and sunny skies. Last year – our …

Savannah was never really on our radar although in hindsight, it should have been because this city is absolutely incredible. The food, the constant stream of live music, the easy to navigate streets, and the abundance of southern charm. Sometimes a destination chooses you, and Savannah called our names when we stumbled upon airfare so …
