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 […]

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 […]
Kaua’i, Hawai’i, USA
Hawai’i is made up of four main Islands: Kaua’i, O’ahu, Maui, and the main Island of Hawai’i. Tucked in next to all of these are smaller islands, Ni’ihau, Moloka’i, Kaho’olawe, and Lana’i.

Uluru, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia

Known as the “mountain island,” Uluru (also known as “Ayers Rock”) is a large sandstone rock formation sacred to the Pitjantatjara Anangu. It’s stunning in its size; it stands 1,142 […]

If you’re headed to Australia, Sydney is likely not your only destination, so it’s important to be conservative about how […]
