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.

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

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.

Germany in Pictures

We were surprised how scenic Germany is. We crossed the country four times during the European portion of our trip, which allowed us to see quite a bit of a rather large country. Here are a few of those things that we experienced.

Liechtenstein in Pictures 

The Principality of Liechtenstein is a small country, only 61 square miles or so, known as "the last monarchy in the heart of the Alps." It's a very picturesque country, and here's a little of what we saw on our short visit.

We spent a total of 12 days in Italy, mostly in the central part of the country. We started in Rome and visited a number of different towns, both large and small, before concluding the Italian portion of our trip in Torino, which we really enjoyed. Here's a few pictures from our Italian days.

Spain in Pictures

We spent three weeks exploring Spain, driving from Madrid to Toledo and Granada before heading back up to Valencia and then Barcelona. We didn't have any expectations for Spain, but as it turns out we loved each city more than the one before. Here's what we saw.
