The One Thing to Do in Each Country We've Traveled To

The One Thing to Do in Each Country We've Traveled To
There are a lot of destinations where there is just that “one thing” that people plan their trip around. With Peru, it’s Machu Picchu, with France, it’s the Eiffel Tower. But what is something we’d plan a trip around when it comes to every country we’ve visited? We dive into every country we’ve visited together and list out something we’d plan a trip around (I.e. we haven’t done yet) or something we recommend planning a trip around that we think is the best thing to do in the country (hint: it isn’t Machu Picchu in Peru-although you should see that too!).

How Each of Us Approaches Trip Planning as a Couple
Just like any couple, each of us have a different approach to trip planning. While one of us really gets into the major themes and ideas of a trip (think big picture) with a focus on food (AKA Chris), some of us dive deep into logistics like flights, trains, where to stay, etc. (AKA Kat). In this podcast episode, we discuss our approaches to travel planning when it is our turn to plan and choose the trip, how the other person helps, and how we balance each other out.

What Is It Like Hiking The Aiguilles de Bavella Loop in Corsica? (+ Tips For Success)

What Is It Like Hiking The Aiguilles de Bavella Loop in Corsica? (+ Tips For Success)
Are you hoping to visit Corsica? I’ve got a story for you! I (Kat) did a 9-day road trip around Corsica full of fun, relaxation, adventure, and more! Aside from the stunning beaches in Corsica, there are also ample hiking trails. It is known for the GR20, a multi-day trek known to be one of the most challenging in Europe. While I definitely didn’t attempt that, I did hike a portion of it when my friend and I hiked the Aiguilles de Bavella Loop Trail. But things suddenly took a turn when AllTrails information was inaccurate and reviews that claimed it was only a 4.5-hour hike also weren't always fully correct. What was supposed to be a 6.9-mile (11.1 km) hike in 4.5 hours, it ended up being an 8.4-mile (13.5 km) hike that took around 7-7.5 hours. It’s not the longest day hike I’ve ever done… but certainly one where we weren’t prepared with ample water. Lessons were most certainly learned including to always pack more water than you think you’ll need AND ALWAYS carry a LifeStraw Water Bottle. Here is my tale that is partially funny (now that we’re totally fine) and partially a little scary. Plus, I've got tips for your success in hiking this trail. Bon courage while hiking the Aiguilles de Bavella Loop in Corsica! Corrections: -There were many people that did complete it on AllTrails, but for some it looks like many spots disconnected, making it appear shorter and/or possibly have less time. -Depending on your physical fitness and breaks, you could take between 5-8 hours. -Getting up the mountain is around 2-2.5 miles or so (rather than 3 miles), then it goes down for a bit. -The repelling on a chain wasn’t fully vertical, it was just a steep decline.

Best Tips For Visiting Rome, The Vatican, & Italy This Year & Beyond

Best Tips For Visiting Rome, The Vatican, & Italy This Year & Beyond
What is it like to visit Italy right now, in 2025, and beyond? Well, Kat was just in Italy (right before the Conclave no less), and things are…pretty busy. It’s the Jubilee year in Rome and the Vatican. It is a holy year that occurs every 25 years with many events, the chance to go through holy doors in 4 churches in Rome, and more. So, needless to say, it is busy in Rome, the Vatican, and honestly Italy in general. Because who goes to visit Rome and doesn’t also say, “Well…while we’re already in Italy...” Things are going to be busy throughout this year, but Italy is and will always be popular. Overtourism is still on the rise, and I think tourism will still be high in the years to come in Italy. That being said, there are ways to adjust, adapt, and even alter your plans to make it far more enjoyable. Whether you’re hoping to find words of encouragement before your visit to Rome this year or are trying to find lesser visited spots in Italy, this episode has you covered and more!

7 Things We Used to Do in Travel That We Rarely Do Anymore

7 Things We Used to Do in Travel That We Rarely Do Anymore
Way back when, we were younger travelers looking to save money as much as possible and travel more. This meant sometimes booking inconvenient flights, flying home before work the next day, etc. Now in our mid-30s, we noticed that there are a lot of things we used to do in travel that we rarely do anymore. As we all grow and change, so too do our travel styles. For instance, I was a budget backpacker who stayed in hostels in my early 20s. I don’t do that anymore. And yes, we’ll spend $200+ extra for a flight with 1 layover versus 2. Perhaps its age/wisdom or perhaps we do have a bit more income than in our 20s. Either way, these are things we used to do in travel that we don’t do nearly as much these days. What changes have you noticed you’ve made in travel over the years?
