Sam and I arrived in Kona today. Picked up our jeep and couldn’t figure out how to turn on the lights lol. A beautiful town – we picked up some vegan wraps from a little place called Cultivate and ate on the balcony of our Airbnb while gentle rain pattered off the awning above us. […]
We arrived for a weekend in Frankfurt, Germany after a week in Mykonos, Greece and it was hard not to feel culture shocked. Greece was sunny and beautiful and you could take your little scooter just about anywhere your heart desired. I don’t think I saw a single stoplight on the island. Frankfurt, on the […]
We arrived in Athens by ferry late at night. We intended to take public transit to our hotel but the amount of stories we were hearing from other tourists around pickpockets and losing valuable items had us feeling nervous. As we made our way out of the pier, a man stopped us. “You guys need […]
We arrived in Santorini after two days of travel. We’d taken a train from Portland to Seattle; got on a flight to Amsterdam where we made a quick pit stop to get some vegan kroquetten and bitterballen; flew to Athens where we almost missed our connecting flight to the island due to some delays, and […]
Sam and I are getting prepped for our next trip to Greece and it seems like the perfect time to reflect on our last visit to Athens! We arrived in Athens via ferry from Santorini – a dreadful 8 hours after departing. I was adamant about taking a ferry over the Aegean Sea, I think […]
Sam and I closed our honeymoon out with 4 days in Positano. We went in October (considered shoulder season) and I’m glad we did. Positano wasn’t too crowded, and it still got hot-hot in the afternoons, enough to warrant a dip in the cold ocean water a few times. I’ve tried to write about our […]
Our journey to Positano was a long one. We flew, early in the morning, from Venice – where we took a water taxi to the airport – to Naples. From Naples we took a ferry to Sorrento, and from Sorrento we took a ferry to Positano. Don’t get me wrong – the journey is more […]
You step out of the airport into a colorful catwalk in Miami and the air is already sticky in May. We’d just come from Norman, OK – where a rare stretch of rain accompanied a somber occasion amongst family – and we welcomed the warmth. At first. By the time we took a shuttle from […]
At first glance, we weren’t sure what to expect from Key West. Our trip here was semi-spontaneous and we didn’t do a lot of research in regards to culture and cuisine. Typically when I think Florida I think old retired white people, and when I think of old retired white people I assume there’s not […]
