driving the ring road: the great icelandic roadtrip
Once we started our RTW, we realized something. We had a roadtrip planned for almost every country! From Hawaii, to New Zealand, to Australia, to random countries across Europe, we repeatedly rented cars and drove off to new destinations. It felt natural to cap our adventure with the ultimate: one great Icelandic roadtrip around the country’s famous Ring Road. the great icelandic roadtrip The kick-off to the very last week of our five-month RTW was off to a stellar start. Our epic roadtrip began with two very fulfilling days of rotten shark-eating and black death-imbibing in Reykjavik. Although we loved…

halló, reykjavik: our intro to iceland
Pre-Iceland, I had one stupid concern. I was irrationally worried that, based purely on the adjectives I’d heard to describe each country, Iceland would be like New Zealand light. Other-worldly, majestic, inspiring… New Zealand certainly fit the bill, so how would our intro to Iceland live up to that? Yeah, dumbest fear ever. Yes, there were a lot of similarities—green, rolling hills, sheep randomly crossing the roads, beautifully colored bodies of water that don’t even look real. But culturally? Totally, totally different. I mean, obviously. And I didn’t think it was possible, but if I really, truly had to pick…

rtw rookies: the recap, the revelation & the full itinerary
Our full itinerary from five months on the road. We started in NYC, moved west, and learned... we're not very good at being traditional long-term travelers. At all.

dubrovnik: cities with walls are just better
It's true, though, right? Cities with walls are just more interesting and romantic. Romantic with a capital R, even.

love on the aegean: falling for montenegro
Post-Belgrade, we hopped on a bus and booked it for Montenegro. Even though this was a late edition to the itins, it’s long been on our list of places to explore and I am happy to report: it did not disappoint. When people ask about our trip, questions always include, “which stop was your favorite??” Even though it’s unlikely I’ll ever commit to one answer, Montenegro is a serious contender. Warning: seriously photo-heavy post ahead. Budva Our first stop was Budva, and though we had heard mixed reviews, we had a blast. It was definitely more touristy than our second…
