• One Week Itinerary for Cuba

    September 13, 2018 / No Comments

    Cuba is one of our favorite countries and one we cannot recommend enough to other travelers. Traveling to Cuba is an authentic experience, budget friendly, and easy to do, even though many people believe you can’t go to Cuba. The island of Cuba is massive compared to others in the Caribbean. This, along with the fact that Cuba remains a mystery to most Americans, can make planning a trip to Cuba seem daunting. Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered with a great one week itinerary for Cuba. Before we start with the itinerary, it’s important to say that Cuba is very…

    A Trip to King’s Landing! Errrr…Dubrovnik!

    September 6, 2018 / 2 Comments

    Over the past few years, Dubrovnik has definitely become one of the top cities to visit in Europe. It’s incredibly beautiful and is heavily featured in the HBO hit series Game of Thrones as the capital city of Westeros, King’s Landing. With all of this, Dubrovnik is a little on the pricier side, especially compared to other cities in Croatia. However, a trip to Dubrovnik is totally worth it because of its well-preserved old town, yummy food, and wonderful views. During peak season, remember that Dubrovnik is going to be busy, especially in the Old Town. It is a very…

    Journey to the Valley of the Sun: Visiting Phoenix

    August 30, 2018 / No Comments

    With great weather year-round and plenty do both outdoors and indoors, Phoenix is a wonderful place to spend a long weekend. We spent four days visiting Phoenix and loved our time there. However, we feel like we barely scratched the surface of everything it has to offer. Before diving right into our Phoenix recommendations, we recommend that you have a car when visiting Phoenix. It’s nearly essential to have or rent one because the city is so spread out. You could take public transit or Uber/Lyft everywhere, but that would be time-consuming or costly. In stating that, we had a…

    How to Go to Cuba as an American

    August 9, 2018 / No Comments

    Updated: 8/9/18 This past March we went to Cuba for a week, and the number one question we got asked when we got back was not: How was the food? What did you do? Where did you go? Instead, everyone asked: Americans can go to Cuba?, which was usually followed by: I thought Trump made it illegal to visit Cuba. Contrary to popular belief, Americans can legally visit Cuba under Trump…and it’s relatively easy too! If you choose to visit Cuba on an organized tour, you’re basically all set because they’ll arrange everything for you.  Organized tours to Cuba generally use the People…

    Don’t Skip Over Bratislava!

    July 31, 2018 / No Comments

    Before arriving, we knew next to nothing about Bratislava and had only decided to stop there to kill a few days before meeting a friend in Vienna during our trip around Europe. Bratislava turned out to be a brilliant hidden gem that was once less accessible because of the Soviet Union’s Iron Curtain. Due to its unexpected beauty, delicious Slovak cuisine, and incredibly hospitable people, we knew we had to write about traveling to Bratislava so others would know Don’t Skip Bratislava while traveling in Europe. As our Flixbus from Budapest arrived at the bus station, we were both a little disappointed,…

    Alcatraz is one of the most infamous prisons in the United States. It’s well known for the high profile criminals it housed, its location right by a major city, and its part in pop culture.

After looking at its history, an overview of the tour, and how to visit Alcatraz, we’ll answer the question: Is the Alcatraz tour worth it?

    What to Do for a Long Weekend in Austin, Texas

    We took advantage of a long weekend back in February to travel to Austin, Texas, a place we had been wanting to visit for quite a while. This was our first time using our Southwest Airlines Companion Pass. Last year, we signed up for a Southwest credit card and earned enough points to qualify for the Southwest Companion Pass, thanks in large part to their generous signup bonus. In an upcoming post we’ll discuss the Southwest credit card and other ways in which we are able to make travel more affordable and cheaper so we can travel more.  Back to…

    Amsterdam is often a top destination for people visiting Europe and was one of the cities we were most looking forward to visiting too. It’s a beautiful city that’s rich in culture and exceptionally beautiful around each and every corner with its historic buildings and unique canal system. We had 4 days to explore the city, and while it was enough time to visit and see most things, we still wish we had more time there because the city was so charming. Where we stayed: Hostel ClinkNOORD  We opted to stay just north of Amsterdam Centraal, the main train station. …

We did the day trip from Zagreb, but you can also do day trips to Plitvice from Zadar and Split to name a few. For the day trip, we took a bus to and from Plitvice from the main station in Zagreb.  bought the bus tickets ahead of time, but you do not need to buy your ticket to the park until you get there. It is $10 to $45 for a one-day…
