“I know! Let’s go hike through the snow, up a mountain, to an abandoned spy building to see some graffiti!” I think I started turning a bit nutty while in Berlin. Who was this person and what did they do with warm weather Erica? Was I really willing to go through an impending snowstorm to… Continue reading Teufelsberg: A Graffiti Paradise at an Abandoned Spy Station
I blinked incredulously as I realized the upcoming date... “Holy crap. We’re turning three!” Somehow my blog had made it through the terrible twos and miraculously made it into our third year.

We have been back in the United States now for 90 days and in Austin alone for the last 80 or so.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have some amazing plans this weekend! There is this rad round up going around that I couldn’t help but participate in.

...and it was over just like that. Three months in Europe, gone in a flash. It is crazy how time flies when you’re having fun. As we looked up from our books on the Megabus, we found ourselves surrounded by Washington DC. I’m baaaaaaaack. ...with Shaun in tow as a DC virgin. What this means… Continue reading Washington DC: The SECOND Time Around
We found ourselves in London for our Nth time. Yes, we’re obsessed but this time it was business. And that business involved exploring the wonders of one of the biggest travel conventions in the world, World Travel Market. We went there for a couple of reasons: To get inspiration for our travels in 2013. We… Continue reading World Travel Market: The World at our Fingertips
It is one of those places that, I promise, you don't really know what you're getting yourself into when you head into the red light district. I can understand why this "taboo" tourist attraction garners the attention it gets and attracts thousands of people to wander the streets. I saw Johns staring into the windows… Continue reading Photo Essay: The Red Light District in Amsterdam
It is weird to think that we left on our life changing trip 627 days ago. We are quickly approaching 2 years of a cubicle free life and I couldn't be happier. Our year in review is INTENSE. 2012 has been crazy for us as we globetrotted at a breakneck speed. If you would have… Continue reading 2012: Our Year in Review
It is only once on every other blue moon when the stars align and your crazy aunt decides to do a raindance that we get the opportunity to take trips that focus on our relationship. Sure, we are a travel couple, but the last time we took a romance based trip was on our honeymoon...… Continue reading FINALLY, A Romantic Getaway! Christmas in New York with Hilton HHonors
I'm always wondering who to follow on Instagram. I’m obsessed and I don’t know exactly how it happened. I think I just find joy in perusing the pictures I find. It is no pressure, no holds barred pure awesomeness. I’ve also been finding myself hoping for certain people to update a little more, just so I can… Continue reading 10 Must Follow Instagrammers for Travel
Meet Bernie. He is probably the best tour guide we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is a professor of Art History - a subject that I had a passion for in college - and if I’d had him as a teacher then, I probably would have not despised it by the end.… Continue reading Walking with the Masters: Florence with Walks of Italy
You have no clue how happy I was to get to Florence, Italy. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy ourselves at the Colosseum or the Vatican, I was just glad not to be in Rome anymore. The chaos of Italy is concentrated there. I can understand why people love it but I needed something a… Continue reading Finding Foodie Florence with Walks of Italy
*KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM* I felt shivers down my spine. No, I'm not a pyro but I've dreamed about being a pyrotechnician since the day I struck my first match and lit my first artillery shell. Now I was doing it as a class? Silly grins lit up our faces. I'm in heaven. I think we hit the… Continue reading Blowing Stuff Up: Our Pyrotechnics Workshop with Cloud 9 Living
The Vatican is known for housing some of the most infamous works of art and being the basis for countless conspiracy theories but what really got us giddy in the pants were the stories that accompanied our VIP Vatican tour with Walks of Italy. History, secrecy, reverence, scandal, beauty- there isn't much that the world's smallest independent state… Continue reading Behind Closed Doors: The Vatican Tour with Walks of Italy
It is one of those iconic travel locations that you can’t stop thinking about - just like Machu Picchu.
