With sandstone buttes, colossal mesas, and panoramic vistas, Monument Valley is one of the USA’s iconic landscapes.

We were surprised at […]

I think we fell in love with Dubrovnik even before setting foot in Croatia. An ancient, walled medieval city on the Adriatic Sea, filled with world class restaurants and narrow cobblestoned lanes to explore…what’s not to love? One day is all you need to see the best of Dubrovnik, although we recommend spending more time […]
We are always on the lookout for interesting, off-the-beaten-path places to explore. In Monument Valley, that place would be Teardrop Arch.

I admit it. I was obsessed with getting the perfect photo of Stari Most (the Old Bridge) in Mostar. This fairytale bridge has been on my photography bucket list ever since I saw photos of it on other travel websites. In order to have the best experience, we planned on being in Mostar for 24 […]
The hike along the Willis Creek Slot Canyon is so much fun! And to think that we almost skipped this hike. After a long day of hiking and exploring both Bryce Canyon National Park and Kodachrome Basin State Park, we wondered if we should tack on Willis Creek to the end of our day. Would it be […]

Isn’t it awesome when a new place completely astounds you? For me, that was Upper Antelope Canyon.

For us, traveling somewhere new does not seem complete without doing at least one hike. So when we read about the hike to Vidova Gora, the highest point on the Adriatic Islands, we were hooked. Not only would we get to break out our hiking shoes but we’d also get to explore the island of […]
