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!"

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!

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 it actually possible to escape the crowds in Rome? 🇮🇹

Today, we’re taking you off the beaten path in the heart of the Eternal City. We’re visiting a private palace that feels like a time capsule, seeing world-class art for free, and eating at a 500-year-old deli that everyone overlooks.

It was a marathon of a day, but we found some spots that genuinely felt like Old Rome.

We’re settling the ultimate debate: Is the world-famous All'Antico Vinaio actually worth the hype, or are the hidden gems in Florence better? 🥪🇮🇹

We tried three iconic sandwich spots, including a legendary lampredotto at the Central Market, to find out where you should really be eating.
