Canals When people think of the Netherlands, they probably picture beautiful canals. THE GNOMES OF WROCLAW, POLAND Wroclaw, Poland is known for its gnomes. It’s one of the reasons we visited the city. These diminutive statues are all over the city, and hunting for them is a main attraction in Wroclaw. We had so much fun gnome-spotting in Wroclaw! We hope our many, many pictures of the gnomes of Wroclaw inspire you to visit and hunt for gnomes yourself! FYI, in Polish these little fellas are called WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET A TOOTHACHE IN JAPAN During our year-long trip around the world, we spent one month in Japan. We visited seven cities during our time there and learned a lot about the country, the people, and the food. And how to deal with dental emergencies. When Justin found himself suffering from severe tooth pain, we figured out how to handle our first long-term travel medical situation and specifically what to do when you MILFORD SOUND VS DOUBTFUL SOUND: CHOOSING THE BEST NEW New Zealand is known for its breathtaking and varied scenery: rolling green hills, beaches, geothermal pools, mountains, glaciers, and of course, fjords.

One week in Kraków. There are a lot of things to see in Krakow. It is the second biggest city in Poland after all.

PORTO IN WINTER: A PICTURE-PERFECT BREAK The colors drew us to Porto. We'd been wowed by pictures of red roofs, blue and white tiles, and facades of all shades and wanted to see it for ourselves. So we spent a weekend in Porto, Portugal soaking it all in. It was February and having come from the grey cold Netherlands, sunny Porto was an incredibly nice change. We definitely came to appreciate the European winter break on this trip.

RAMEN IN FUKUOKA

We visited Fukuoka for two reasons: (1) it's an easy gateway to South Korea, the next stop on our 13-month around the world itinerary; (2) the ramen. You might think we'd had our fill of ramen by this point. You would be wrong. After almost a month in Japan, we learned that it's impossible for us to get sick of ramen.

Our biggest bucket-list item was to see elephants, and we saw more than we thought possible.

ONE WEEK IN KRAKÓW

One week in Kraków. There are a lot of things to see in Krakow. It is the second biggest city in Poland after all. Lucky for us, we had quite a bit of time to spend there during our year-long trip around (some of) the world. It was the first place we settled into for more than a few days and we had a great time exploring the city while

VISIT ROMANIA BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT We recently spent a wonderful two weeks in Romania - specifically the Transylvania region. We spent a lot of time deciding how to travel on our Romania trip, and did quite a bit of research to figure out if we wanted to rent a car or rely on public transportation. Ultimately we decided to explore Romania by train and bus, and are very glad we did. 10 THINGS TO DO IN VADUZ ON A ZURICH TO LIECHTENSTEIN DAY Taking the train from Zurich to Liechtenstein for a Vaduz day trip is a fun and unique experience.

EXPLORING MAINZ, GERMANY AND TAKING A RHINE RIVER CRUISE And here we are at the end. 13 months after we set off from our apartment in Brooklyn, we would complete our trip around (some of) the world journey in Mainz, Germany. It may seem an odd place to end. After all, Mainz isn’t the most popular destination in Germany. But we came up with the idea when we left Cologne in the middle of our trip. Some slow planning had put us on the slow train to 10 DISNEYLAND PARIS ACCESSIBILITY AND WHEELCHAIR TRAVEL Our latest accessible travel guest post has a touch of magic. Our guest author Gemma is sharing her wheelchair travel tips for visiting one of her favorite places in the world: Disneyland Paris.

RAMEN IN FUKUOKA

We visited Fukuoka for two reasons: (1) it's an easy gateway to South Korea, the next stop on our 13-month around the world itinerary; (2) the ramen. You might think we'd had our fill of ramen by this point. You would be wrong. After almost a month in Japan, we learned that it's impossible for us to get sick of ramen. Being that this was our final stop in Japan, and knowing that we wouldn't FIVE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE THINGS TO DO IN TENERIFE Most importantly the island has very good access for wheelchair users.

And one of our favorite things to do while traveling is to try local beer. We had read that the craft beer scene in Wroclaw, Poland is top notch, so we were especially excited to visit the city. We were not disappointed. Polish craft beer is very good and Wroclaw definitely seemed like a hotbed of the scene.
