Bariloche
Even though we´ve been challenged by administrative headaches, an overcrowded hostel of rude international youths, and only 2 bathrooms for at least 40 people, we can´t help but like Bariloche. The tourist crowd is pretty easily left behind and we escaped each day to a new, gorgeous spot. The city is right on a lake, […]
La Recoleta: Changing Gears in Buenos Aires
Readjusting your schedule: it won’t take long. After an uneventful flight on a starved-for-services Aerolineas Argentinas flight, we arrived safely in Buenos Aires. The first night we quickly discovered how much our schedule will be changing. With the campervan in New Zealand, we had tried to race to the shared kitchen by 5 or 6 in […]

Our flight into New Zealand provided spectacular views of rolling hills, turquoise water and a first glimpse at New Zealand’s biggest city. We spent our first days orienting ourselves, catching the blog up after our whirlwind […]

At the end of Victoria Street were the McElhone Stairs, over a hundred of them, leading down to Cowper Wharf Road, which runs along Wooloomooloo Bay. Not too far from there […]

Being from Atlanta, Donny felt right […]
Wichita, KS

The “Keeper of the Plains” still stands watch from this spot where the rivers flow together. There are lots of parks and museums in this area, and we visited several, including […]
Music City Nashville
Since neither of us had ever spent much time in Nashville, we wanted to get a taste of what it has to offer. With the Nashville: Music City All-Access Pass, we were able to choose four major attractions (plus bonus entry to the Parthenon). We did a whirlwind tour, and accomplished quite a bit.Nashville is […]
