With our trip around the world immediately following our wedding, we are calling this our “one year honeymoon.” Well, nothing quite screams “honeymoon” like a set of bunk beds residing in what I could only assume was a former closet. Myself, not doing the typical backpacking through Europe after college and not ever staying in …
Crouched down under a crown of thorny bushes and trying to control our breathing, the eyes continued to peer back at us. We were out of breath from darting through the field and hopping the barbed wire fence, desperately trying to escape the monsters. The monsters, however, were not the ones that we expected. It …

We had the pleasure of spending the day in Dublin before taking the train westward. This isn’t your typical museum, parks, and Guinness Open Gate tour itinerary. We did make it to a few touristy spots, but mostly we were just focused on eating and drinking our way through this Irish city. We arrived late …

The van was slowly bump, bump, bumping its way down the back alley. We were passing by a herd of goats to the left and two little boys play fighting in front of us. Matt and I looked at each other and with only our eyes communicating, we secretly wondered where exactly this van was …

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 …

Beep. Beep. Beep. It’s the sound of my watch marking the stroke of midnight. Matt’s goal is to beat the clock and make it home before my watch sings its way into the new day. Tonight, he’s not here as I listen to the sound of defeat. It was another late night at the restaurant …
