Culture, History and a European Vibe
As two California natives who spent most of our lives in the relatively young region of the U.S. West Coast, the allure of ancient architecture, cobblestone streets and quaint cafes in Europe is strong.
While we have been to some of the iconic tourist destinations in Europe, we also love opportunities to get off the beaten path and experience authentic, lesser known elements of Europe along the way. Some of our favorites, include:
- Saunas and a cold lake plunge in Northern Finland
- A cooking class in Italy
- Sunset above the clouds on Portugal’s island of Madeira
