Nordkapp, or the North Cape, is located at 71 degrees north and is the furthest north you can drive while staying within continental Europe. We’ve had this location on our bucket list for years and we recently had an opportunity to see it for ourselves! The northern-most point of continental Europe sounds like a very remote place, but it’s surprisingly accessible and absolutely worth the drive to get there! We had a blast exploring the North Cape, it’s a remote and stunning region, looking for wildlife and chasing the Midnight Sun!

A road trip through Utah wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Valley of the Gods or Monument Valley (which is technically in Arizona). Add in a stop at Goosenecks State Park, and a quick visit to the Four Corners - because why not? - and you’ve got yourself one of the best drives in Utah! Read on to see how best to spend this epic day!

Arches National Park is famous for having hundreds of arches, and if you make the trip out there, you’ll soon see how it got its name. It’s a huge park and people can spend many days exploring it and hiking to all the best viewpoints. But what if you’re short on time and you just want to see some of the highlights of Arches? This post is for you!

Iceland has it all: mountains, beaches, waterfalls, hot springs, volcanoes, and glaciers (oh my)! There is a ton to see and do, but how do you choose where to start, and how do you fit in everything when you have a limited amount of vacation time? Sadly, you won’t be able to see everything, even if you spent a month in Iceland, but we’re here to help with a one-week itinerary that covers a ton of ground and allows you to drive the Ring Road, get into the Highlands, and even make a stop at the Westfjords, so read on to see how we did it!

When you only have one day to explore Canyonlands National Park, how on Earth do you decide what to see and do? When we visited, we were short on time and wanted to maximize our day to see the best things the park has to offer. Read on to find out how we spent our time in Canyonlands National Park!

The drive between Bryce Canyon National Park and Moab is several hours long but don’t let that deter you from making this journey. With a national scenic byway, a historic trail, and a national park situated in between, this is one of the most interesting and scenic drives you can take!

When researching our trip to Utah, I only knew about Zion and Arches, so I was surprised to discover that there were 3 additional national parks: Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, and Canyonlands! Of those three additional parks, I was most excited to explore Bryce Canyon, it seemed the most unique and unlike anything I’d ever seen before. While planning for our trip, we ended up with quite the bucket list of things to see and do at Bryce Canyon, so here’s what topped our list.

Let me start off by saying one day is not enough time to do Zion National Park justice. You’d need at least two days, or more if you’re traveling during peak season or doing a lot of major hikes. But can you do Zion in one day and feel like it was time well spent? Absolutely!

We planned to stop by Valley of Fire State Park on our drive from Las Vegas to Zion National Park. We figured it would be a great way to break up the drive, and it was, but we made two big mistakes on this journey, and we repeated them throughout the rest of our road trip. Hopefully, you’ll learn from us and do it better!

Are you going to have a long layover in Las Vegas and you don’t want to spend it cooped up in the airport? Or maybe you’re like us and find yourself arriving late at night and Las Vegas is just a pitstop on your journey? Either way, there’s plenty to do with a couples hours in Vegas!

In a college computer programming class, I learned that “Hello World” is often the first program a coder will learn to write in a new language. I didn’t pursue computer science after I took that class but that lesson really stuck with me. It seems only fitting that my very first blog post should start with “Hello World” because this is all very new to me and I have a lot to learn.
