Easter Island is one of our favorite places we’ve been. In some ways, Easter Island is like the Hawai’i of Chile, but there are a lot of significant differences and unique components of Easter Island. We decided to stay at the Hotel Iorana located at Ana Mangaro S/n Hanga Roa. It was the off season […]
Boston Freedom Trail and Tea Party Ships & Museum

Calama y San Pedro de Atacama
If you’re a desert fan, or just want to see quite possibly the coolest (forgive the irony) place in Chile, take a jaunt to San Pedro de Atacama, a dusty little town in what feels like the middle of nowhere, yet boasts friendly, artsy, and proud people who will show you a lifetime of adventure. […]
Talkeetna, Alaska

It’s magical. Our time in Leavenworth was perfect – but what made it […]
