We took very little paper with us on the trip. Just our airline itineraries, and some address info for hostel reservations. This helped us travel light and easy. Here’s what we relied on: Dropbox: I saved every confirmation in a…
Travel Day!
We woke up in Florence this morning and made a quick walk commute to the train station. We went from Florence to Milan to Spiez to Interlaken. Since Interlaken wasn’t totally on our original trip plan, it was a fun…
A Uomo visits il Duomo
My catchphrase for the trip is that I’m just a uomo who loves a good duomo. Translated from Italian: I’m just a man who loves a good cathedral. Doesn’t have the same ring to it! Today we were able to…

When we first arrived in London we were a little overwhelmed and caught off guard by how quickly the city moves. The tube is quick and the people who stuff themselves onto it are tired, grouchy, and hot after quickly…
We Have Arrived!
This afternoon (or early this morning depending on what continent you are on) we landed at Heathrow Airport in London, England! After getting the feeling back in our legs from sitting for just shy of 11 hours we made our…
