From the driest desert in the world to the largest icefield outside of Antarctica, and world-class wine country in between, Chile is a traveler’s dream. Though between navigation, language translation, currency conversion, and managing hotel bookings, having reliable cell service is essential on trip to Chile. Popping in local sim cards is a thing of […]
They call Guyana, “South America Undiscovered,” and it felt that way as we splashed down red dirt roads, paddled dugout canoes to remote indigenous villages, and saw more tropical birds than tourists. Over 85% of the country is pure rainforest and, as part of the Guiana Shield, a 1.7-billion-year-old geological formation with over 3,000 vertebrate […]
Everyone wants to visit Glacier National Park…like 3 million people a year. But what many park-goers don’t realize is that most of Western Montana was carved by the same glacial activity, offering stunning mountains, lakes, rivers, and forests with a fraction of the tourists. To help more people discover the lesser-known gems and keep them […]
Arizona is home to three national parks and some of the most breathtaking rock formations in North America. The 48th state is also steeped in the history of the Old West. What better way to explore than by taking a road trip in Arizona? If you’ve been thinking about visiting the Grand Canyon State, start […]
Here at HoneyTrek, we absolutely LOVE road trips. In fact, we have road tripped through all 50 US States (not to mention countless Canadian Provinces, Mexican states, and nearly 100 countries). The feeling of cruising down the backroads of America, windows down, solid tunes on the radio…that’s a vibe! Below you will find our favorite […]

With every switchback, anticipation built for our South Africa glamping stay at Few & Far Luvhondo, Sarah and Jacob Dusek’s grand return to outdoor hospitality after selling Under Canvas in 2018. Unlike their previous […]
Everyone knows the world-class city of San Francisco and the high-tech hub Silicon Valley, but many miss the gems in between. The San Francisco Peninsula is just a few miles south of the city, flanked by the Pacific Ocean and the SF Bay, with stunning mountains running up the middle. While it has a bunch […]
Leaving Petra, we joined a tour bus full of Jordanian women–heading 130 miles in the wrong direction. We don’t know why we did this, considering we weren’t exactly sure where they were going or when they would arrive to our intended destination, but we knew it was going to be an adventure. We hopped in, […]
We always love a college town for its youthful energy, creative thinking, and fun-loving vibes, but Berkeley, California, is next level. They are the activists who started the Free Speech Movement of the 1960s, the locavores who defined farm-to-table and California Cuisine in the 70s, and today, they are the creatives, movers, and shakers who […]
Since we began our around-the-world journey back in January 2012, we have taken a truck-load of photographs and created thousands of important files and documents. People often ask us how we back up and access this massive volume of data. Up until a few weeks ago, our answer was always Dropbox. But now, HoneyTrek has […]
