Imagine cooling off in your own private pool before bedtime.

Relaxing in Zanzibar Tanzania at Bahari View Lodge

As our plane descends over Zanzibar Island, my son is just SO excited! He loves the East Coast of Africa, and it has been 18 months since we first discovered it for ourselves. Now, after just finishing our time in Jordan, we will have time to slow down a little. It had taken nearly 24 […]

The Most Affordable Luxury Ski Resort in Europe ???

In 2014 we discovered the Bulgarian ski slopes, and we fell in love. Nestled in the outer area of Bansko, this resort faced the Pirin Mountain range, and it wasn’t just the area we fell in love with, but more so where we stayed.

The Invisible Dangers Of Travel In Macedonia

Sleep On Nature At Coco-Mat In Athens Greece

We’ve been traveling the world now for over four years, and since 2014 there have been a couple of items that have traveled the world with us. These are our Coco-Mat Aromatherapy Pillow-sachets.

A New Hotel Made From Old Pieces Athens Greece

We all know recycling is important, but when we entered the NEW Hotel in Athens Greece, we were shocked as they have taken recycling to a whole new level. Why? Because the walls, as well as a lot of the furniture and fixtures, are made from the antique and ancient wood that they were scrapping […]
