New Year, New Experiences

Way back in 2015, I wrote about this world-traveling family’s 20 Most Memorable Moments of 2014. But our journey had only just started — we continued hopping across the globe for a good portion of 2015. Here are the 35 things we experienced in 2015 that we regularly talk about.

Announcing the Summer of 17

We took on the world, now we're taking on the United States.

 › This summer we're packing up and hitting the road to experience that great tradition—the Epic American Road Trip. We'll be traveling the highways and byways of the United States, journeying through 17 states in three weeks. Join us, won't you?

Endless Days, Statues, Hot Dogs

After leaving England, we had a three-day layover in Iceland, a small island country the locals call a land of ice and fire. On our first day, we got the lay of the land in Reykjavik, along with a history lesson or two, and some delicious hot dogs.

New Shoes and an Ancient Wall

Way back around the year 120, Roman Emperor Hadrian built a giant wall too keep the wildmen out of the northern border of the Roman Empire. Parts of that wall still stand today.

A Trip Around the World in One Short Video

During our 333-day trip around the world, I filmed one second of video for each day we were traveling. Well, kind of. When it was all over, all that footage was turned into a six-minute video that nicely chronicles our journey. And you can see that video right here.

A Bangkok Food Tour (WITH the Food)

We realized that after our amazing Hanoi food tour, any other tour would be chopped beef to Hanoi’s filet mignon. But, knowing the vibrant food scene in Bangkok, we felt a food tour would be in order.

Taking On Food Around The World

Part of getting to know a country is getting to know its food. 

From street food to restaurants, grocery stores to farmer's markets, cooking classes to experimenting on our own, we try to embrace the food in every place we visit. Here's some of what we've eaten so far.

Vegemite!

At last!

At last!

One of the things Frankie was looking forward to was trying Vegemite. It played out pretty much how I thought it would: it was not the next favorite food. But, being who she is, she's committed to trying it again. She's determined she's going to like it.
