One of Eitan’s bucket list items is to visit the top National Parks in the U.S; there are 63 National Parks in the US, and while visiting all of them might take some time, we are OK with visiting the most famous ones first. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park usually lands in the top…

Machu Pichu
Its been a few months since the last post, but we haven’t forgotten our dear readers! After visiting the amazing town of Ollantaytambo we jumped in the tourist train to travel to the town of Aguas Calientes. This is the hub where you need to spend the night if you are trying to do any…
The Incan Sacred Valley: Part 2
Our second day in the Sacred Valley started with a visit to Pisac, which is perhaps best known for its Incan ruins, known as Inca Písac, which is atop a hill at the entrance to the valley. After we parked, Thomas could not control his souvenir shopping urge once again… The Inca constructed agricultural terraces…
Wax Palms – The Valle De Cocora
One of the most beautiful activities you can do in Colombia is the hike around the Cocora Valley. In order to get to the Valley area, travelers meet in the main plaza to jump into a jeep for a bumpy ride! This is Colombia, so seatbelts are not required! The ride is about 30 minutes…
Tent Rocks
When we travel to a city, we try to find a nice outdoors activity for a day. This country offers so much beautiful natural landscapes, mostly unknown, that would be a shame to miss out. We drove a couple hours to the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. A remarkable outdoor laboratory, offering an opportunity to…

Portland Neighborhoods
We started this beautiful day by walking to Hawthorne Blvd which is the hipster area full of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. This was the first time I took my new DSLR camera out, so bear with me as I am still learning how to use it. The houses around this area look cute like…
Plitvice Lakes
We continued our drive to Zagreb but first stopping for the day at the beautiful Plitvice Lakes. The Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of the oldest national parks in Southeast Europe and the largest national park in Croatia. In 1979, Plitvice Lakes National Park was added to the UNESCO World Heritage register. There are…
EVEREST
We continued our drive from Shigatse for about 9 hours with several photo stops towards Everest Base Camp on the Tibetan Side. Our first stop was a high pass, the highest altitude point we visited on the whole trip (around 6100 meters). It was cold and very windy! There is a monument welcoming you to Everest…
The Kathmandu Valley
Fun Fact: Nepal does not have an independent day because Nepal was never colonized. Nepal is also the oldest country in South Asia. We decided to make a full day trip today to other cities in the Kathmandu Valley, we are going too Bhaktapur and Nagarkot, these places are about one hour driving from Kathamndu so…
The Climb To Sigiriya
We had some traditional homemade breakfast before heading out. I cant remember the name but it was basically some black grains compressed into a tube with coconut milk on top. it was really tasty and apparently super difficult to make, so we are lucky Lanka (Guesthouse host) offered to make it for us. Manoj (our…
