It’s almost guaranteed the first thing we do when we wake up in a new country is follow our senses to the first sight of food and drinks. Lima, Peru was no different. As soon as we woke up to start our first full day in Miraflores, Peru, we stepped out to the streets and…
It just so happened to be that we arrived in Tokyo, Japan on my birthday! So whooooooooo you may be wondering did we decide to celebrate with? The adorable owls of course! We had heard about the cat cafes for a while and then after a little research, we learned Tokyo also has cafes with…
If you’re ever in Amsterdam and have a day to venture outside the canals and touristy Red Light District, make sure you explore the little village in Zaanse Schans. We jumped on a bus and within 30 minutes, we had reached all the pretty windmills and quaint houses that recreate the 18th-19th century villages.
As we prepare our minds for our upcoming trip to Europe, we thought it’d be nice to share some of our essential carry on travel items! Whether you’re going on a long international flight or somewhere domestic, we’ve learned to travel with a few very important items. If we think/learn of anything else, updates will be…

We were going to celebrate a friend’s birthday, it was our first trip with our hometown friends, we would be staying in a hostel with these friends, the party, history, music, food! It…
While in Arequipa, Peru, we decided to stay at the Flying Dog hostel. This hostel was in the most perfect location! It was just a couple blocks from the main square, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. The hostel is fairly quiet but they do have a bar with good vibes. The 24hr staff were really friendly and…
When our friends from North Carolina came to visit us, one stop we wanted to share with them was San Diego. After a night of spontaneously raging in Gaslamp, we woke up to fight the hangover the best way we knew how. Wake up early and go explore. We went hiking through the awesome Ho…
We woke up around 3:30am and were ready for our day trip tour to take off at 4:00am. Once we were on our way, we tried to squeeze in a few more hours of sleep while we ventured out. The bumpy ride made that nearly impossible but that no complaints were made since the sunrise was something…
We’ve never been to a city filled with so much art. You realize the city itself is an art piece. Every corner you turn you see something new. Creativity, usefulness, and beauty is at every corner. If you’re a zen runner… You’ll find plenty of city road to keep pushing that extra mile (or the…
We’ve traveled to many cities and gave just about every type of lodging a shot. We’ve had both great and questionable experiences in hotels and Airbnbs, but what has been the most consistent in experience has been hostels! Throughout our stay in Peru, we bunked it with our friends Icaella (Icaro and Rafaella!). Being that we live in different…
