Lisbon - 2019's Top Destination for Millennials (& everyone else)

Earlier this year a work trip brought us to London so of course we decided to make an adventure out of it. Both of us have been to different countries within Europe but neither of us had been to Portugal. Little did we know that Lisbon has been dubbed the top destination for millennials in 2019. Once reading that stat we noticed that almost every friend, family member, and colleague mention Lisbon this year. If you’re wondering why, then read on below because we had a blast in this sunny European capital. We’ll list the places we went, where we ate, and anything else that we think our readers might find useful. Happy reading :)

Samoa - Digitally Disconnect in this South Pacific Paradise

Samoa is easily accessed from New Zealand and Fiji, but also from Hawaii. We didn’t know much about Samoa before heading off, except that it was supposed to be cheaper than other South Pacific islands but with the same amazing beaches and crystal clear waters. Once we landed we were quickly greeted with those crystal clear waters and were immersed in their culture, colors and tropical heat.

Aloha is a Lifestyle: Our two night stay on Waikiki Beach

Despite our short trip to this beautiful island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, we had an incredible time exploring its stunning landscapes, beaches, and crystal clear waters, as well as indulging in scrumptious food, from Hawaiian bbq to shrimp scampi from a food truck, fresh poke caught that day, and to die for malasadas (fried doughnuts filled with custard).

Lake Titicaca: From 1920s-Styled Railcar to Preserved Bolivian Island of the Sun

When we started to think about our South America trip I knew two things - I wanted to visit Machu Picchu and the Bolivian Salt Flats. Eoghan had done more research and mentioned Lake Titicaca and Isla Del Sol to me and I automatically said yes because they were near a body of water. Little did I know that Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake sitting at 12,500 ft above sea level and that it has crazy weather patterns - like waterspouts that suck up water from the lake in a tornado-like fashion. However Lake Titicaca and Isla Del Sol ended up being our FAVORITE part of our whole entire trip. We highly recommend taking the Peru Rail train from Cusco to Puno and then visiting Copacabana and Isla Del Sol. Let’s first dive into the train ride from Cusco to Puno.
