Travel To Malta For A Weekend Of Exploration Malta was a beautiful surprise, full of culture, amazing architecture, history, and a haven for foodies. It’s a tiny island which can be crossed in around 30 minutes by car but has so much to offer that we felt that we should […]
Naxos: Lush, Mountainous, and Great Beaches Naxos is one of the larger Greek islands that we have visited on our quest to check out as many Greek islands as possible (you can read our ever-expanding guide on Greek islands here). We stayed for a long weekend and could have easily […]
Our top picks for visiting the Greek Islands Every time we visit the Greek islands, we are amazed at how different they are from each other. While we have not exhausted our list of the top islands to visit, here are our favorites. Hopefully you will have a better idea […]
Chania: Crete’s Most Famous Waterfront Town Chania is a charming Greek town in northern Crete that is fairly easy to fly into and out of. It is a great place to stay for anyone who loves the beach or loves to shop. If you are looking for more Greek history […]

Antiparos: The Island That Has It All In our exploration of the Greek islands, we tend to gravitate towards the more remote ones. We had thought that Antiparos would have that same wildness that Paxos had, but it surprised us with its extravagance. Antiparos appears to be a remote island […]
Lüderitz: The Wild West Of Southern Namibia We drove seven hours from Sossusvlei to Lüderitz, mostly on gravel roads. It was a terribly long drive, but the scenery on the way made the journey a bit more interesting. Namibia is huge, and you can drive for hours without seeing a […]
