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

The Freedom Trail tour takes you on a two and a half mile jaunt around Boston, stopping at 16 nationally significant historic sites. The tour is commonly referred to as following the “red line,” a literal […]

Talkeetna, Alaska

This blog post wouldn’t be complete without a shout-out to the awesome guide team that got Andy up the mountain safely and with […]

Valparaíso sits about 75 miles northwest of Santiago. There’s a few ways to get here from Santiago. An hourly bus […]

Leavenworth, Washington
Leavenworth, Washington is one of the most beautiful places in the Pacific Northwest. A Bavarian town nestled roughly 120 miles from Seattle, the tiny town embraces its German culture and history, particularly during Oktoberfest, which, for the record, they celebrate every weekend in October. It’s magical. Our time in Leavenworth was perfect – but what made it […]
