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!"

We're busy prepping for the MN State Fair, planning out our route for opening day, and packing our cooler backpack, so we won't have a new video for you this week. We still want to keep the state fair fun going, so we made some free MN State Fair Bingo cards for you (linked below)! We made a set of 4 bingo cards with all of the new foods on them, plus a blank bingo card if you want to customize your own game! Grab your set and play along at home while watching our new food video (coming next week), or print them out and take them to the fair! Hope you enjoy!

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?
