The fact that we’ve been travelling the world full-time since 2008 and this was our first visit to Australia is pretty crazy. Needless to say, we were excited to finally be here and to see what this iconic city has to offer! Sydney is one of those cities that delivers immediately – iconic landmarks, world-class […]

Our trip to Cozumel is one we’re still thinking about! The first time I visited, I was just 16 years old on a cruise with my family. Needless to say, coming back years later as an adult, on a week-long trip with my partner, was a much different experience! We spent a week in Cozumel […]

With a nickname like the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires, Argentina, can’t be missed. But aside from its must-experience architecture, museums, tango, malbec wines, and Argentine beef, BA also served as our refueling station. After our five weeks running around Brazil and with three months ahead of us in Spanish-speaking countries, we needed to […]

Remember that to-die-for hotel in Lost in Translation? The one where Bill Murray is completely pampered, sipping Suntory whiskey in that swanky jazz bar, rendezvousing with Scarlett Johansson at the sky pool, or gazing out his wall of windows from 45 floors above Asia’s most sophisticated metropolis…this is the Park Hyatt Tokyo, and it’s even better than […]

Welcome Drinks Upon arrival, […]

After 3 weeks in Bali… it might’ve shaken everything we think about our lifestyle, work, and where we want to live. For a bit of context, we left our home in Bulgaria around mid-January because we were tired of the cold. I mean, Bulgaria is not cold at all compared to our home country of […]

We love fall for the foliage it brings, but even in places that don’t get the classic autumn colors, traveling in this season brings tons of other benefits: lower prices, fewer crowds, pleasant temperatures, and more. Find out the best fall travel destinations from our National Geographic book, Ultimate Journeys for Two: Extraordinary Destinations on […]

Whatever you pack for travel tech (laptops, earbuds, action cameras, drones, smart-watches, etc)…none of it matters if you don’t have a way to safely charge these devices abroad. Traveling for 14 years across 91 countries, we’ve tried all sorts of adapters, surge protectors, and chargers, and we have dialed in the perfect power setup. Using […]
