We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs when traveling, and they have run the spectrum from conventional apartments and homes to one-of-a-kind homestays that we never expected to find.
This Hobbit House in Speyside, Scotland, was one such property, and this one was such a treat that we really didn’t want to leave!
Is there anything better than Italian gelato? Arguably some of the best ice cream in the world, we found ourselves addicted to it when traveling throughout the country (so much so that we ate it 2-3 times per day depending on the day).
While we love gelato just about everywhere, the gelato in Florence was what we kept going back to time and time again. So, naturally, on my most recent trip to Florence I had to get out and find some of the city’s best.
Today, I wanted to share my thoughts on those shops!
Within moments of our arrival to Budapest, Angie and I were overwhelmed with a feeling of familiarity. The city felt like we were returning to an old favorite, one we had explored countless times in the past.
But this was not the case; not only was it our first time visiting the city, but it was also our first time in the country of Hungary as well.
When reflecting on it, we knew the reason for this familiarity, and it was due to the fact that Budapest felt a lot like home.
It is this feeling that makes us think a city is truly great, and Budapest hits on all five of the major points we look for when saying it is among the best cities in europe.
When going out on the 335-mile bike ride on the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath, you can imagine that there is a lot to see.
Although there were long stretches where we were biking through the woods or passing along a river/creek, it really did feel like we saw something new every few miles to help mix things up. So in this one, we thought we’d share ten of our favorite highlights from the ride between Pittsburgh and Washington DC that you will see when on the trail!
Before jumping into it, it is important to note that we are omitting what are perhaps the three biggest highlights of all- Point State Park in Pittsburgh, Mile 0 in Cumberland, and Washington DC.
It should go without saying that finishing each respective trail, no matter the direction, is going to be a big highlight, even if the C&O’s terminus in Washington was a bit of a letdown (go to the Nartional Mall instead for your celebratory “end” if heading east!). For this one, we wanted to share our favorite stops along the trail outside of these.
So, let’s jump into it and share our favorites, starting in Pittsburgh and working our way towards DC!
