We're Karin and Jeremy, just your average married couple with a passion for travel! We're not digital nomads, we have regular full time jobs! When we travel, we go mid-range. That means we always look for a good deal, but we're not necessarily backpacking or taking luxury flights all the time. We've traveled to over 25 countries around the world and we've got a long way to go! Some of our favorite adventures include van life in Norway, street food in Japan, visiting European Christmas markets, road tripping around Iceland, and exploring the incredible countries in the Balkans! We have a passion for travel and we want to make the most of our time off. Follow along on our adventures as we maximize our vacations on our series called "Mapping It!"

Hey everyone! 🇮🇹 Can you actually see the best of Milan in just 24 hours with no planning? We put it to the test in our latest video!

https://youtu.be/JoqVfzpcd00

We’re taking you along for the ride on a whirlwind one-day itinerary through Italy’s design capital: Milan. We’re packing the day with centuries of history at the jaw-dropping Milan Duomo, wandering the stunning glass arches of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (and enjoying some epic views from our hotel), hitting up the massive Starbucks Reserve Roastery for lunch, doing a bit of shopping, and capping off the day with the perfect grab-n-go street food dinner: a piadina!

We tried to squeeze in as much as we could, but 24 hours in Milan means making some tough choices and there were a few things we couldn’t see or do (but now we have an excuse to go back). If you could only experience ONE of these highlights on a quick trip to Milan, which would you choose? Vote below and click the link to see how we manage to do all of them in a single day!

Today, we are taking you along to explore the historic town of Amalfi, Italy. We’re climbing the massive 62 steps of the breathtaking Duomo di Amalfi, wandering the narrow streets of the town center for a bit of shopping, and our favorite part: tasting our way through three different restaurants to show you some of the best regional dishes you cannot miss!

Would you rather take the scenic route or the easy route? 🗺️👇

In our newest video, we’re taking a day trip from Amalfi up into the clouds to explore the historic town of Ravello and the breathtaking Villa Cimbrone. But when it came time to go back down, we traded the local bus for a pair of sneakers and tackled the ancient, steep downhill stairs all the way back to sea level!

Check out the full guide here to see if the views were worth the workout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57VOF...

If you were doing this day trip, how would you head back down?

Our day trip from Amalfi to Capri did not go according to plan! Our ferry turned out to be a scenic island cruise in disguise. It was absolutely gorgeous, but it put us way behind schedule. To save the day, we had to make a game-time decision and joined a guided tour. Was it a total tourist trap, or did it save our entire itinerary? But we want to know what you would have done, vote in the poll!

Watch our brand new 1-Day Capri Travel Guide to see how we managed to pack in Capri Town, the Gardens of Augustus, and the insane Monte Solaro chairlift in Anacapri, even with a late start! 💺🍋

🍋 Is Positano actually worth the hype for a day trip? 🇮🇹 We hopped on the ferry from Amalfi to find out and we’re taking you along for the perfect day in Positano! We’re exploring the black sand beach, stepping inside the stunning Church of Santa Maria Assunta, hunting down the best panoramic viewpoints, and sitting down for an unforgettable cliffside lunch at Cafe Positano. 🍝✨
