Travel after COVID-19
Our theories of how the travel industry will change after a ‘new normal’ includes more tailor-made, boutique experiences.
Celebrate intellect
Jordanian society was quite different than we expected, but all of the surprises were positive.
Tourism can be a sad thing
As the general wealth and prosperity of mankind increases, a growing middle class has the opportunity to travel. This is causing massive growth in the tourism industry and some locations are taking action to actually reduce the amount of tourism they receive.
Living somewhere magical
Living in ‘dream’ destinations abroad has been put on a pedestal in the minds of most people, despite it actually being possible and affordable.

Crushing ethnocentric thinking, balancing the concern for safety and cautiously go-with-the-flow.

pensacola, florida
We finally had the chance to spend a weekend in Pensacola, Florida with the simple goal of enjoying and exploring the city. With architectural and cultural influence from Spain, France, Great Britain, the Confederate States, and of course the US, Pensacola is the city of 5 Flags and is worth your time.
best suitcase for two people
We've owned and managed to destroy more than a few suitcases as we've traveled around the world. We were constantly in search of a bag that we could both pack in and that would hold up to our adventures. Turns out, we needed to look for a suitcase built for something entirely different. This is our honest opinion on the best suitcase for two people.
climbing
Climbing is a sport that everyone can get into. Rock on and read about the basic gear you'll need and what to expect when you get into the local climbing gym.
yosemite
There are so many adventures in Yosemite. It is a gem of our nation and one of the most beautiful locations you can ever expect to visit. Read more tips about tackling it in 2 or 3 days, and if you have it, the park deserves as much time as you can spare.
The camino
The Camino de Santiago is a walk across the north of Spain that thousands complete each year. It is usually described as life changing. Each day you walk with strangers that quickly become friends.
Spain
One of the most underrated countries in Europe that most definitely deserves a visit from you. Spain will romanticize you with basilicas, castles, culture, exquisite cuisine, and Cava (Spanish champagne) that is cheaper than the water.
Toronto / Niagara Falls
One of the most affordable international trips you can take from the US with unique culture inspired by Europe. Oh, and why not whip over to those waterfalls everyone talks about?
Iceland
In our opinion, it's the best way to experience what Iceland truly is - a land of frozen beauty with cascading waterfalls, bubbling volcanic earth, atmospheric ice caves, and of course, glimmering and flowing ice.
travel for cheap
We consider this one app (or website) a piece of our gear, basically because we pull it out any time we're booking travel. It's becoming more popular, but we still come across friends that had no idea!
