To kick off 2025, we headed to Costa Rica to spend a week with Mark's family. Of course, there were beaches, food, lots of traffic, and zip lining. Farber and Jonica then head onto Guatemala to explore the "Gringo Trail" which maybe should actually be the "Dutch Trail"? Let's just say they had to stay at a hostel...

PANAMA! Who knew? Mark and Jonica dd not know what to expect but this small and underrated country is not to be missed. City life, mountains, waterfalls, monkies, sloths, and much, much more.

Back in 2018 Jonica and Mark visited Colombia and loved it so much they decided to return. Jonica and her friend Courtney start in Cartegena with some ladies' time. Then Farber and Jonica reunite in Medellin - one of their favorite cities. Then onto Santa Marta for some muddy jungle adventures and finally spending time again in the large and incredible city of Bogota.

Farber and Jonica head onto Ecuador and enter in darkness - literally. This diverse and nature-rich country is in a water crisis that leaves them without power for 8+ hours daily. Listen in to hear about their experience.

Episode 30 - feels like a milestone! Jonica and Mark explore just a small fraction of the amazing country of Peru. She is full of culinary delights, history, art, ruins, and more. They are left wanting more of this special and unique country.

Farber and Jonica continue to explore South America, and in this episode, they visit a small part of Chile. They start in the dryest place on the planet—the Atacama Desert—and then move on to the cities of Valparaiso and Santiago. This diverse country has much to offer and much to watch out for.

The next phase of the adventure begins in Argentina, South America. Farber and Jonica start immersing in the Latin culture via Buenos Aires fueled by late nights, lots of red meat, and unfamiliar Spanish. They then continue to Cordoba City to meet up with Mark's old backpacking friend. Then, Jonica gets to live out a horse dream of hers in Jesus Maria and finally, in Mendoza - the Napa of Argentina where more meat and wine are consumed.

Jonica and Mark's Euro Summer must come to an end but not before spending time in beautiful Montenegro, dreamy Monopoli, meeting some friends in Naples, and touring the Alamfi Coast. Then it is onto Morocco for a three-week tour of this incredible and unique country. Warning - this one is on the longer side so buckle up!

The Balkans offer a lot of history - much of it not so pretty, but still very important to learn about and explore. Jonica and Mark visit the beautiful city of Bucharest and then visit a couple of the many castles and natural beauty this country offers. Then it is to Sarajevo, Serbia and lastly, we learn and witness the sad but incredible resilience of Bosnia and Herzegovina and it's people.

Farber and Jonica continue their Euro summer tour. After departing Croatia they head North to Germany to visit some friends who give them more hiking than they bargained for. Then it is onto historic and culturally rich Vinnea. While there for only a few days, they pack in as much as possible and see some old travel buddies. It is then on to explore Bratislava and a re-visit to Budapest.
