OUR RECENT TRAVELS

It felt like every day we were in Estonia we got almost 20,000 steps in. The Old Town of Tallinn is so charming and you can lose yourself in the winding and narrow streets (and forget about your feet). The food in Estonia was shockingly amazing and we didn’t have one bad meal (thanks to Max’s detailed research!).

Latvia has beautiful scenery, incredible food, great cocktails, and so much character! We missed our opportunity to see a Russian ballet at the opera theatre (just next door to our hotel), but we made up for it in exploring all corners of their capital, Riga.

Lithuania is so peaceful and beautiful. We spent a good amount of time walking around the main area, Gediminas Avenue, in Vilnius and driving around the country to see attractions like the Trakai Castle and the Hill of Crosses.

Our time in Bolivia was short and we only had time to visit Uyuni, where the infamous salt flats are. Surprisingly, we took the entire day to tour around the city, visit local hand made crafts, see art creations, visit cactus islands, train graveyards, and saw the most amazing night sky with the stars shining bright.

We spent over a month in Peru, the longest we’ve spent consecutively in any country. Peru has so much to offer, the culinary creativity in Lima, the world wonder at Machu Picchu, the charm of Cusco City, the adventure on the Amazon River, Salt Mines, Incan ruins throughout, a peaceful refuge in The Sacred Valley, and larger than life condors asserting dominance while swooping overhead in Colca Canyon.

We spent a few days touring around the island of Borneo. We didn’t realize it at the time, but we actually booked our trip in the middle of Ramadan, so, as a byproduct of this oversight, we were actually able to learn a bit more about this cultural tradition of theirs.
