I know I’m not the only crazy adult who still loves Disney. In my opinion they’re one of the most brilliant companies, appealing to almost everyone with their nostalgia, innovation & many acquisitions. A trip to Disneyland in California is a trip down memory lane while simultaneously making new memories. With two parks to explore, […]
Traveling to a big city for the first time requires a lot of planning and a positive attitude. You cannot just land in a new city without a plan(or maybe you can, and if so, kudos to you! I want to be more like you!). Even when you meticulously plan things can still go awry. […]
Traveling with a baby requires a lot more thought than just hopping into a car (even more thought than with two high maintenance dogs!). We’ve always been an adventurous family, and have committed to keep it that way with our new addition. The Skagit Valley Tulips in Washington were the perfect first outing with our […]
Australia is different than the rest of the world. It has more things that can kill you than anywhere else, according to author of In A Sunburned Country, Bill Bryson. It is comprised of six states and two territories, which each have their own culture, climate and plants. The most unique part of the country is […]
The Yukon embodies Canada perfectly. It is vast and wild. It is filled with the friendliest people you will ever meet. And it is remote. Located in the Northwestern corner of Canada, bordering Alaska to the West, British Columbia to the South and the Northwest Territories to the East, it is no easy feat to […]
A trip that had started in The Coromandel, continued into the Taupo Volcanic Zone and then had gone from Rotorua to Waitomo was now coming to an end. The last leg of our camper van adventure would be in the Northland Region of New Zealand. Before returning the camper van back in Auckland, we would […]
From geothermal features to crystal clear springs and from Real Middle Earth to caves filled with glow worms, our trip from Rotorua to Waitomo had it all! After the big let down of our Tongariro Crossing being cancelled, we continued on through Rotorua. As an area known for geothermal activity, we wanted to see as […]
The Olympic Peninsula is undoubtedly the most wild part of Washington. Over 3500 square miles of land comprises one of the United States’ last explored areas. There are few people, and even fewer roads. There are a variety of ecosystems: mountains, lakes, rivers, the Pacific Ocean, and even a temperate rainforest. With all of this […]
There is no doubt that The Canadian Rockies are a magical place at any time of year. The best time to visit, though, is in the Winter. In the Summer there are blue glacial lakes, more hiking opportunities than you can count and chances to see wildlife everywhere. There are also countless tour buses filled […]
A live volcano, New Zealand’s largest lake, and geothermal springs. That is just a snippet of what was to come as we continued our North Island, New Zealand road trip. After an interesting start in The Coromandel, we continued down the coast. Our first stop would be Mt. Maunganui, to climb the lava dome looking […]
At 1,583 square miles, there is a lot to explore at Glacier National Park. However, a lot of the park is backcountry, accessible only by hiking, biking or some form of water transportation. There is no way you could cover everything in a single trip, but there are some gems that are worth visiting as […]
If you ever find yourself lucky enough to live in Washington state, you will never run out of things to do. From not being able to place Seattle on a map, to making it my home three and a half years ago, to very recently leaving for California, there have been so many amazing memories […]
