(Clique aqui para a versão em português) If you had asked me about different things I wanted to experience in my life, I would probably have mentioned vaguely about living in Brazil for a few months at some point in my life. No detailed plans, but a vague idea to learn more Portuguese, to spend […]
When people think of traveling Brazil, they mostly think of beaches, beaches, and… more beaches. But there is so much more natural beauty to Brazil than that. Case in point – canyons! Who knew there were these magnificent canyons not far inland of those famous beaches? Plus they are national parks to boot. Seven years […]
French Polynesia is the definition of tropical paradise. Its lagoons have the clearest waters you will ever see, its resorts are some of the fanciest you will ever experience. French Polynesia has been a top destination for both of us for a long time and we were really excited to finally visit. Coming from New […]
In many ways, we were made for #vanlife. We love being our own tour guides, taking ourselves wherever we want to go and staying for as long as we please. Having a place to sleep and everything with you on the go gave us the ultimate flexibility. And there is really no other country more […]
Bula! That’s Fijian for hello and one of the words we heard the most during our time in Fiji. Everybody we met everywhere cheerfully greeted us with a big bula and a genuine smile. With over 330 islands to choose from, we chose to spend most of our time in the Yasawa group of islands […]
Egypt needs no introduction. All the ancient history classes have thought us all about the great ancient Egyptian civilization as well as their mythical religion. We first had plans to come to Egypt in 2017, but some unexpected events led us to our South American trip instead (no regrets!), so we put our Egypt plans […]
Our adventures in the Middle East continued from the busy cities in Israel to the natural wonders of Jordan. Aside from the stunning landscapes, we had been looking forward to some specific experiences we were particularly excited about. By the end of our stay in Jordan, we were inspired, unguarded, and reminded of why we […]
It was our first time in the Middle East! To say our families were thrilled about us visiting this area of the world in the current political climate would be a complete lie. Right before we arrived, the US killed an Iranian general via air strike in Baghdad and the Iraqis vowed to retaliate on […]
Morocco was always about friends. We had a friends-trip planned before we even left, so it was part of “The Great Expedition” from the beginning. We were always going to circle back to this part of the world. Travel is thrilling, but one of the things we miss the most is seeing the people we […]
With its rich history, delicious food and friendly people, it is no surprise that Portugal was near the top of our travel list for quite some time. It was a great transition place for us as we wrapped up the South America leg of “The Great Expedition” post-Antarctica and headed towards this next section that’s […]
Going to Antarctica has been the very top of our travel bucket list for a long time. How do we even begin to describe what this expedition has meant to us? Arguably the ultimate highlight of The Great Expedition, Antarctica seemed out of reach for a long time. Not only was it very far and […]
