We’re often inspired to travel to off-the-beaten path destinations simply because we’ve seen a picture that has captured our imagination of what that destination holds. A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say! So when we were nominated TWICE by our friends at Santa Fe Travelers and our friend Ele at Kootvela to …

Somewhat of a grumpy bird, the fisherman named him Petros, which metaphorically means old …

I love mythology. I was enchanted as a child when we learned about mythology in grade school. I’ve read the child friendly versions of the myths and I’ve read Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. I could envision Medusa with her hair of snakes reducing men to stone with a single look. My imagination danced to the …

Streaks of white punctuated by blue domes cling to the top of cliffs, looking down on the lagoon where we’re anchored. A few other islands surround us. These islands are remnants of what was formerly one big island before an enormous volcanic eruption collapsed the center of the island and it was swallowed into the …

I am not a morning person. I never have been. I used to drive my parents nuts every morning when it was time to get up for school. And I drive Tim nuts now as he tries to get me up and moving. So imagine his surprise when I was up and raring to go …

We saw an array of cute dogs on the island of Santorini on our recent Greek Isles cruise. Unfortunately many of them are strays, but we were really excited to learn that the Santorini Animal Welfare Association (SAWA) ensures that stray dogs are neutered and spayed, vaccinated, and de-wormed.

We’re Jennifer and Tim and we love traveling! We are just one ordinary couple who have found that travel brought us closer together, taught us patience, the art of compromise, and how to truly appreciate the diversity of this extraordinary world. So far, we've visited 37 countries, lived in the United States and Italy, and Tim has lived in Korea. And we do it all while both holding down full time jobs. Read more...
