As part of our wanderlust series, today I am sharing Petra, one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World.”

Petra was the capital city of the Nabataeans from roughly 300 BC to 100 AD. The Romans took over in 100 AD, then several earthquakes destroyed much of the city and Petra was abandoned. For centuries, Petra was left untouched, until it was discovered by a Swiss explorer in 1812. Petra became one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World” in 2007 and since then has been making the bucket lists of travelers all over the world.

This is a magical place. The first view of the Treasury is breathtaking, even though you know what it looks like from photos that plaster the internet and guidebooks. There is something about finally seeing it with your own eyes, this ancient, carved facade quietly peeking through the darkness of the Siq, that really does take your breath away.

However, there is a lot more to Petra than just seeing the Treasury. Hike to the High Place of Sacrifice, visit the Monastery and other ancient sites, and see Petra by Night. Take a look at our post (link in bio) for more things to do, how to plan your time, and (most importantly) how you can have the Treasury all to yourself.

Montenegro is a gorgeous country. With its walled coastal towns, stunning Bay of Kotor, misty mountain peaks, and off-the-beaten-path wetlands, this small country is full of surprises. Most people visit Kotor on a day trip from Croatia, but there is enough to do here for days, even weeks.

Top experiences include visiting Kotor, hiking the medieval walls of Kotor, driving the scenic loop around the Bay of Kotor, visiting Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks, exploring Lake Skadar National Park, road tripping to the coastal towns, and visiting Durmitor National Park.

Montenegro makes a great addition to a road trip through the Balkan Peninsula, where you can also visit Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Click the link in our bio to see more of Montenegro.

As part of our wanderlust series, today I am sharing Peru, one of our favorite travel destinations.

Visit Machu Picchu, tour the historic city of Cusco, hike the famous Inca Trail, explore the Sacred Valley, and venture into the Amazon. Drink Pisco Sours and dine on ceviche. Peru is a fabulous mix of history, outdoor adventures, dramatic landscapes, and culinary delights.

If you want to learn more, check out our 10 day Peru itinerary. This is probably the best 10 day trip we have ever taken, and that is saying a lot. It was adventure after adventure, with 10 days of thrills, new travel experiences, and unforgettable moments. To learn more, click the link in our bio.

By the way, if you are wondering why I am wearing a cast, it’s because I broke my hand while mountain biking near Ollantaytambo. Going to the clinic in Cusco is not how we planned on spending our time in Peru, but it definitely was an unforgettable moment!

It’s no secret that New Zealand is one of our favorite destinations in the world. New Zealand is the perfect blend of outdoor adventures, breathtaking landscapes, beautiful cities, and gourmet food.

Go wine tasting in Marlborough, hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, cruise the Milford Sound, tour the fairytale world of Hobbiton, take a helicopter tour over Mount Cook, take your pick from multi-day treks, go kayaking at Abel Tasman, visit the hot springs and thermal pools in Taupo, or tie a rubber band to your legs and jump off a bridge.

One of the best ways to tour New Zealand is from behind the wheel of a car (or a campervan). We have an epic 3-week itinerary where you can explore New Zealand from top the bottom. Click the link in our bio to learn more.

Looking for a beautiful road trip destination? How about the west coast of Ireland?

The Wild Atlantic Way is 1600 miles of road that snakes along the western coast of Ireland.

The Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula, and the very popular Cliffs of Moher are some of the top sights along the Wild Atlantic Way. But there are plenty of lesser known places to visit, such as Mullaghmore Head, featured in one of the photos here.

To drive the Wild Atlantic Way, it takes a minimum of 3 days, but more time is better. If this sounds like something you would like to do, take a look at our 10 day Ireland itinerary, which includes the Wild Atlantic Way as well as Dublin, Galway, the Rock of Cashel, and a quick visit to Northern Ireland (click the link in our bio).

As part of our wanderlust series, today I am sharing Istanbul, one of the world’s great cities.

Istanbul, with its history, architecture, culture, and friendly, welcoming people, left quite the impression on us. We spent 5 wonderful days here many years ago, marveling at the Hagia Sophia, visiting the mosques, cruising the Bosphorus River, wandering through colorful neighborhoods, and dining on Turkish food.

If you want to learn about what there is to do in Istanbul (the list is delightfully long!), click the link in our bio.

If you have been to Istanbul, what were your favorite experiences?
