Travelly Picture: Brasov, Romania
When we were in Brasov, we decided to grab a bottle of Romanian red wine and scale the local steep hill, Mt. Tampa. At the top I took a picture with my digital camera of the town below and as you might have guessed by now, this is that picture. Oh yeah, if you click …
Islands in Europe You Should Totally Go To
Europe is definitely more associated with medieval castles and train journeys than sand castles and ferry rides in most people’s minds, but any close inspection of a map reveals that the continent is home to thousands of miles of coastline and scores of islands off its shores. Some islands in Europe are well known homes …

Travelly Picture: Budapest, Hungary
We actually spent a few weeks in Budapest, Hungary, lowlighted by a disastrous stint volunteering in a hostel in exchange for room and board. In between the chaos of that fiasco, we managed to have a pretty good time and trekked up a hill one day to get this picture of the Danube River and …
Travelly Picture: Hoorn, Holland
We were in between apartments recently, and as a result ended up with some time on our hands to go out and explore some parts of Holland we hadn’t seen yet. We ended up spending a few hours walking around the town of Hoorn, Holland looking at things and having lunch. We even took some pictures …

AZ To Amsterdam Chapter 2: The Grand Canyon to St. Louis
We were living in Arizona when we decided to move to Amsterdam. Our flight to Amsterdam left from Boston, so we had to drive clear ‘cross the United States in the space of a few days. This is the story of those few days. After our criminally-quick hit of the Grand Canyon and a long …

Travelly Picture: Giant Sheep Head, Tirau, New Zealand
We spent a few days driving around New Zealand in a campervan. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that the country was chock-full of oddball roadside attractions, including this one of a giant sheep head made out of corrugated iron in Tirau. It seems weird until you consider that sheep outnumber people in New …
