European Travel & Food Blog
On February 22, 2014 We attended the Travel and Adventure Show in Washington D.C. as we had done last year. (You can read that post here). It was a lot of fun to talk to tourism offices for different countries, see some great animals, and watch the cultural dances. We learned that you can […]
So, what did we do in the great city of Copenhagen? In the 3ish days we were in town, we went on a canal cruise, a bus tour, saw the Botanical Gardens, ate at Tivoli Gardens, saw The Mermaid from afar, walked a LOT, and enjoyed taking it all in. For our first real day […]
When I think of Copenhagen, I think of bikes. Lots of bikes. Amsterdam seems to get attention as the most bike-friendly city, but in our experience, it was Copenhagen. Bikes are everywhere, but so are cars. The big difference between their bike system and ours in the U.S. is that they have lanes. I’m not […]
We intentionally planned a long layover in Iceland to be able to go to The Blue Lagoon. We used Reykjavik Excursions for our trip from the Keflavík Airport to The Blue Lagoon. This was so easy for a few reasons. The first is that it is a 20-minute bus ride to the lagoon from Keflavik. You may […]
I think this post may help explain why there haven’t been any posts about our amazing trip. We are having travel withdrawal. It’s not just that we miss our vacation, but to review it and try to work on how to piece it together logically on the blog is difficult. It almost feels that once […]
We have only recently wanted to take on sharing our travel journeys with the world. We have always had a healthy wanderlust but haven’t really taken the steps to really live it and give into it. Our short two week trip to western Europe is probably a very mild type to many of the travel […]
We had the opportunity to visit some of the embassies of countries that are members of the European Union in Washington, D.C. on May 11, 2013. This event is called the EU Embassies Open House and is a free annual event from Cultural Tourism DC that is clearly very popular! You get a pamphlet (“passport”) […]
For me, travel is all about the experience of getting outside your comfort zone and into the rest of the world. The sheer cultural diversity of a place like Europe alone is, frankly, amazing to me. In the US, I can travel 3000 miles from Washington DC to San Francisco and stop off in 40 […]
Where did I get the travel bug? I’m not completely sure, so let’s talk it through. I love having a home and I loved my mountain I lived on when I was younger. I had no desire to leave that. My grandparents traveled a lot, but they were retired by that time. I went […]
Thanks for visiting and welcome to our new blog! We are definitely hoping to travel more and this is where we will share all the fun stuff!
