One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
Instead of hopping on a plane to fly to a far away place we decided it was time for a road trip to explore what is in our backyard. We packed up the car with beer and camping gear and hit the road for three days. The agenda was to visit the Sand Dunes, Taos,…
After our amazing dip, we had to head back to Reykjavik. We stopped at Gulfoss as our last waterfall and had to make it really quick, literally running, because we had to return the camper by 4 pm.We then checked into our Aibnb in downtown Reykjavik and got all cleaned up to hit the town….
When you go to Iceland you want to get in a hot spring. You also typically end up in the Blue Lagoon. Though the Blue Lagoon uses natural geothermal to heat the pools it is man made. Since we only had a few days we decided we wanted to go all natural and picked Seljavallalaug…
We knew we had to make time for a hike while in Iceland; Skatafell in Vatnajökull National Park was the perfect option. We started by hiking up to see Svartifoss which started at the visitor center. It was clearly marked and easy to find the waterfall. This first part took about 30 minutes of climbing and…

Aaron’s birthday fell on one of days that we were in Trinidad so we knew we wanted to go out—and we had heard there was a club in a cave so we knew we wanted to go out. Our Airbnb family made us a fancy grilled lobster dinner and then also had a local Cuban…
After exploring the city of Trinidad you should get outside of it and find a waterfall. Javira Waterfall is about a twenty five minute cab ride outside of the city and should not be missed. Once in the national park you have to do a short relatively easy hike (there are a few inclines, but…
There are a couple of different ways I would suggest you spend your day in Trinidad but what this post is about is simply experiencing the beautiful city. Whether it be a full day or a few hours, aimlessly walking around this city to take in the colors is a must. I would also highly suggest…
This past weekend we surprised my sister with a trip to Mexico for her 30th birthday! My brother in law was determined for this to be a surprise of her lifetime and came up with a genius plan. We had always told her she needed to take two days off of work so we tried…
