Ep.131 When we’re booking travel, we have to be very careful about all the hidden costs. There are so many prices posted online that look like great deals, until you begin the payment process and see the extra fees. There are other gotchas like dealing with limited luggage space, missed flights due to delays, and headaches from not knowing local rules and regulations. Before you travel, watch this video so you can avoid some gotchas! ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!

Ep.127 Fes (or Fez) is where you want to be for the most authentic experience in Morocco. The heart of Fes is its people, and we were overwhelmed by their kindness and genuineness at every turn. In many ways it feels like time stands still here. This 1,200-year old city still preserves many of its ancient traditions, including the methods and skills used by the artisans at the Chouara Tannery, one of the oldest leather tanneries in the world. It’s much less commercial than Marrakech, and we appreciated that the Medina is filled with locals living their daily lives. We share our favorite restaurants, the top places to visit while you’re here, and take you on a day trip with us to the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes. If you’re considering a visit to this exotic country, you’ll appreciate that we share everything we paid for our time in Fes as well as our full 41 days in Morocco. ❤️ Watch us on YouTube!

Ep.123 If you are interested in a European vacation but have sticker shock from some of the prices of the more popular places to visit, Tirana, Albania will be a breath of fresh air.  This formerly communist country has been getting a makeover since the 1990s and learning about its complex history was fascinating. We were inspired by the resilience of the Albanian people after decades of oppression and our tastebuds loved discovering the flavors of Albanian foods while also enjoying plenty of Italian, Greek, and Turkish delights, too. We spent an easy, comfortable month here, and if you need to get out of the Schengen zone, Tirana is a great escape—we bumped into several fellow travelers here!  Don’t skip this episode: we tell you EVERYTHING you need to know and our TOP 10 things to see while you’re here.
