After consuming copious amounts of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand over the years, I figured it would be fun for us to volunteer on a winery in Marlborough when we were in New Zealand a couple years back. You see those nets on the grapes? It was our job to put those on using these …

One of the caveats of the super cheap car rental deal we found was that the pick-up location was on the outskirts of Amsterdam. As a result, the Ardennes road trip began in a town called Hoofddorp, Holland. We actually spent our first week on Dutch soil last year in Hoofddorp, so it was nice …

Now, anyone who knows me knows that I’ve never met a road trip I didn’t like driving 10 hours for, and as a result, I’ve definitely seen my fair share of America’s crown jewels …

Well, the dust has finally settled on the holidays and 2015 is definitely in full swing here in Amsterdam. It may have taken a bit longer for the dust to settle here compared to most places though, but we got there. Why? Well, the Amsterdam air was full of powder and particulate from the, like, …
Kickoff – December 8-11, 2014 Sites – Hannover, Goslar, Wolfenbüttell/Braunschweig, and Celle in Lower Saxony, Germany. How We Got Here: Two years ago, we dipped our toes in the snow at Christmas markets in Edinburgh and Manchester and had a blast. Last year’s Christmas Market Crawl spanned two-and-a-half weeks and covered parts of Germany, Austria, and …
