European Travel & Food Blog
This is the quickest trip we have ever done and probably will ever do. Since Sean had a meeting just outside of London we decided to take a train to the United Kingdom from Amsterdam, which took about three hours. We were going to be on a train for a while, so we grabbed a […]
Many of us visit major cities when traveling. But if you have the time, check out the cities and towns outside the city limits! When visiting Utrecht it might feel like a small town but is actually the fourth largest city in the Netherlands with 330,000 people. It’s easy to get to by train from […]
You may have noticed the lack of posts on this website. There’s a good reason for that…we were planning our move to Amsterdam in the Netherlands! So, this is still a travel blog but it will focus on Amsterdam for a bit until we start our travels around Europe. We are trying to live like […]
Can you read the title in Dutch? It says “Bacchus Wine Festival” I knew you could read it! What is the Bacchus WijnFestival? This is a fun, usually outdoor wine festival with wines from all over the world hosted by the wine shops and bars in Amsterdam. What is wine without food? A shame, that’s […]

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 […]
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 […]
