To Travel is to Live

To Travel is to Live

Today we are starting at the Hans Christian Anderson Museum in Odense. He was a poet, story teller and a helpless romantic that lived his long life with a constantly broken heart. The museum is quite the building paying homage to the man and his fairy tails. We...

The Great Outdoors

The Great Outdoors

Waking up to the sun shining is a the greatest feeling. We know we have at least one hike we want to do today - let's see how our bodies, time and energy levels fair to see if we do the second one... Be honest, if you happened upon an abandoned van in the woods, what...

Obrigada Porto, but it is time to move on.

We loved walking around Porto, the riverfront there is amazing, so lively and vibrant. It was bittersweet saying goodbye to it because it means that our time here in Portugal is drawing to a close (boo!) and there is still so much of the country that we want to see....
