We have eaten our way across France, from the bustling bistros of Paris to tiny, family-run auberges in the countryside, and we’ve learned one simple truth: French cuisine is more than just food. It’s a language of its own, a way of life woven into the fabric of every village, city, and home. It’s the […]

We’ll never forget our first time planning a trip to Hawaii. Staring at that cluster of islands in the middle of the Pacific, it’s easy to feel a bit lost. Should you go to the one with the active volcanoes, the one with the legendary surf breaks, or the one famous for romance and waterfalls?

After 15 years of exploring the globe, some of our most memorable adventures have been in the US National Parks. We’ve seen firsthand that trying to create a single “ranked” list of these incredible places is an impossible task. The best park isn’t a number on a list; it’s the one that matches your personal

Jasper National Park is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, spanning an incredible 11,000 square kilometres (4,200 sq miles). It boasts some of the most awe-inspiring hikes for every skill level. With its shimmering glacial lakes, massive glaciers, and abundant wildlife, Jasper is a hiker’s paradise.

Our mission was simple: to eat everything. We tried food from

We’ll never forget our trip to Zion National Park one November. After battling the summer crowds on a previous visit, we returned to find the trails almost completely to ourselves. The air was crisp, the autumn colours were still holding on in the lower canyon, and the experience felt so much more personal and raw.

Let’s get right to the big question: Is Egypt safe to travel? For the traveler that informed and prepared, the answer is yes, and it is an incredibly rewarding destination. We’ve explored the country ourselves multiple times and can tell you that standing before the Pyramids of Giza or wandering through the temples of Luxor

We’ll never forget the first time we visited New York City in December. We’d seen it in movies, but standing there, seeing the Rockefeller Center tree all lit up for the first time, with skaters below and festive music in the air… it was pure magic. But December travel isn’t just about snow and Santa.
