Copenhagen quickly became one of our favorite cities. Denmark was the 10th country that we lived in on our journey. It’s a culture of bicycles, open-faced sandwiches, and uninhibited carefree attitudes. For the Danes, long summer days are for hanging out with friends and enjoying the sun. We truly loved our time living in Copenhagen. …
Fes: Best of Morocco is Found Beyond Marrakech
Fes was something different for us. Unspoiled by tourism, it promised to be a more unique travel experience. Mimi and I were very excited. We had been craving more adventure in our travel and Morocco was only a short flight away from our home in Lisbon. Booking a short flight to somewhere exotic is an …
Bora Bora: Swim With A Humpback Whale
Swimming with a humpback whale and her baby in Bora Bora was the highlight of possibly the best day of my life. Well, so far. It was my 40th birthday and we were staying in an over-water bungalow for eight nights while in French Polynesia. We split our time between Mo’orea and Bora Bora mostly, …
Istanbul: Whirling Dervish Ceremony in Silivrikapi Monastery

What visit to Turkey would be complete without a firsthand sampling of Turkish coffee, Turkish delight, Turkish baths, and the Whirling Dervish.

Tel Aviv: One of the Coolest cities in the Middle East
Tel Aviv is a small city with a big city vibe. There’s always a lot of things happening in different areas of the city. There is a laid back and open-mindedness to the people that you don’t find in the more biblically famous city of Jerusalem. Don’t get me wrong, we met some cool people …

Barcelona: Dance with the Devils at La Mercè Festival
La Merce Festival in Barcelona happens every year near the end of September and there’s a lot going on during this four-day event.

Venice: Bond, James Bond. Well, Ahem… Sort-Of
The “Theme Song” for James Bond plays while we speed away from the airport in the wooden boat taxi that we’ve seen in so many movies. The funny thing is that this particular airport is not the airport we landed at. You see, there was some confusion… Mimi’s birthday was approaching and while still living …
