Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci had his own vi

Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci had his own vineyard and you can still visit it today? That was one of my favorite things that we did in Milan! Other than the Duomo and the Last Supper, here are some other must-dos for your trip to Milan (swipe for corresponding pictures)

1. Tour Leonardo’s Vineyard and drink the wine
2. Admire the beauty of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele
3. Eat at the food hall of La Rinascente - Obica Mozzarella Bar has amazing food and views of the Duomo
4. Go to the Teatro alla Scala - even if you can’t get tickets to a show, you can go in for a tour
5. Eat an amazing meal at L’Alchimia
6. Get a drink at the Fondazione Prada, but don’t expect a fashion museum
7. Apertivo at the Navigli Canal, especially GinO12
8. Take a day trip to Turin (more on that later!!)
9. Go inside, outside, and on top of the Duomo!

Full Milan post coming soon. In the meantime, check out our latest blog post from our trip to the Burgundy region of France!

The best Valentine’s Day weekend with the best V

The best Valentine’s Day weekend with the best Valentine in Milan 💕

February was the perfect time to visit Porto, Port

February was the perfect time to visit Porto, Portugal. The weather was still nice and warmer than Germany, we had a few wine tastings to ourselves, and we didn’t have to wait in line to see the sites that inspired J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. We loved wandering the colorful winding streets of the Ribeira, seeking out the azulejos tiles everywhere, and eating and drinking our way through the city. If you’re planning a trip to Portugal soon, check out my latest blog post on Porto!

We did have a slight hiccup in our weekend plans thanks to @stubhub but hopefully their Portuguese customer service team will make up for it... Until then, I definitely do not recommend trusting Stubhub International but I’ll keep ya posted. Thankfully we met some awesome people at @culinarypaths and @thewineboxporto that helped us rekindle our love for Porto.

Happy happy birthday to my favorite travel partner

Happy happy birthday to my favorite travel partner, best friend, and pup daddy. I love this life with you and thanks for picking Porto for your birthday weekend! Cheers to you and all of the port you can handle!

Took six months but we finally explored Frankfurt,

Took six months but we finally explored Frankfurt, and wow it is so pretty! If you find yourself in Frankfurt for a few hours due to a long layover, take the train over to Römerberg Square. For a hearty German meal and yummy beer, head to Restaurant Römer-Bembel. It’s inside the square and they speak English, have an English menu, and take credit card (a lot of places in Germany don’t). Then walk through the city to the Galeria Kaufhof Sky Lounge. It’s their mall’s rooftop bar with excellent views of Frankfurt’s Financial Center Towers! #frankfurt

Six months ago we landed in the Frankfurt airport

Six months ago we landed in the Frankfurt airport eager (and stressed) to be reunited with our dogs. Since then, we have traveled to 9 countries and over 20 cities in Europe and Africa. We are finally fully settled in to our new life in Germany; we’re slowly making friends, quickly drinking wine, and gladly accepting visitors. January was our first slow month for travels, but we are super excited for our upcoming trips in the next few months!

I’ve put together a new FAQ post on the blog, answering questions from our friends and family. Thanks so much for all of your good vibes, love and support! 💕
