It’s Not Silicon Valley…and That’s a Good Thing

Almost ten years ago, I started exploring startup ecosystems outside Silicon Valley, meeting founders and investors and learning what the problems they were solving could tell me about a place. I eventually (mostly) left angel investing behind, but as Zeke and I prepare for our next adventure through some very-new-to-us parts of Europe, I realized how much I miss that part of my brain—and that way of traveling. So I’m turning my global startup network back on and seeing where it takes us. ❤️ Terri

Finding Our Travel Sweet Spot

After years of traveling together, we thought we’d figured out our travel sweet spot: five weeks, max. But maybe the perfect trip isn’t really about how long we’re gone, how fast we move, or how many nights we stay in one place. Maybe the sweet spot is something else entirely.

The Problem with “We’ll Come Back”

Nantes was supposed to be a transition, not a destination. Less than 24 hours changed our minds—and got us thinking about how we make choices when we can't do it all.

Beyond the Itinerary: The Long Way Around the Bay

Zeke spent five days cycling around the San Francisco Bay Area, beginning and ending in our driveway in Redwood City. Some of the route was familiar and some brand new. We love that after 56 years of living here, we are still finding new ways to explore the gorgeous place we are fortunate to call home.

City Living

From San Francisco to Madrid, our love of city living has never faded. This is the story of a dream that began when we were 20, and why we're still exploring where it might lead next.

What If Travel Feels Scary?

When we planned our spring trip, I was nervous about traveling to North Africa. Looking back, I realize I wasn't afraid of Tunisia or Morocco. I was afraid of the picture I'd created in my own mind. Travel has a way of replacing assumptions with experience, and this journey completely changed how I think about unfamiliar places. ❤️Terri

We’re Changing How We Travel

Overtourism is changing the way we travel. After experiencing record crowds in Marseille, we're rethinking where we go, when we travel, and how we can explore the world more responsibly.

Self-Care While Traveling

We thought we had our travel routine figured out—until Budapest reminded us that sustainable travel isn't about seeing more. It's about knowing when to slow down. Here's why thermal baths, fewer plans, and a little breathing room changed the way we'll travel from now on.

Great Expectations

I planned the perfect birthday weekend in Vienna. Vienna had other ideas. A lesson in art, crowds, expectations, and why curiosity might be a better travel companion than certainty.

Will We Ever Get This Right?

From Rome to Montreal, we spent 50 days experimenting with travel pace. Some ideas worked. Some didn't. Here's what we're taking into our next adventure.

The (Iterative)Art of Trip Planning

Trip planning isn't about creating the perfect itinerary. It's about exploring possibilities, testing assumptions, and gradually discovering the trip you actually want to take. Here's how we plan our biggest adventures.

Where In the World Are Zeke and Terri?

Are you curious about where we are going in 2026, where we went in 2024 and 2025, or do you have suggestions on places for us to explore? Then this is the place for you.

The Real Reason We Started Zeke & Terri Adventures

We thought we were building a travel channel. What we were really building was a way to stay curious, keep growing, and navigate modern midlife together. On our 30th anniversary, we're sharing the story behind the channel and where we're headed next.

Saunas, Pools, Hammams, and Cold Plunges

Zeke and Terri have discovered their love of all things sauna, thermal baths, hammams, and cold plunges and now plan trips around not just museums and parks, but water experiences, too.

Our First Hammam (Lyon, France)

While in Lyon, France in October 2025, Zeke made arrangements for us to go to a hammam for a couples experience. Terri was nervous about the experience but ultimately enjoyed it so much, she would go back again in a heartbeat. Zeke wants our next experience to be in Morocco!

Vienne, France (October 2025)

Zeke and Terri share their autumn date in Vienne, France as they enjoyed the multiple layers of history from Gallo-Roman times to the present. Vienne is one of those sleepy little villages many people pass by without knowing that there are incredible ruins to be seen and enjoyed.

Bilbao, Spain (May 2025)

Zeke and Terri spent 3 nights and 2 days in Bilbao, Spain and share their adventure with you. This was the second to last stop on their 7-week European trip in Spring 2025. The trip was built around visiting the Guggenheim which didn’t disappoint! Enjoy!

San Sebastián: Where Basque Culture Meets Atlantic Beauty (May 2025)

Nestled along Spain's northern coast, San Sebastian revealed itself as more than just another beautiful seaside city. Our two-day immersion in this Basque cultural capital offered layers of discovery – from spectacular ocean views to innovative urban cycling infrastructure, from traditional pintxos culture to unexpected culinary gems hiding in plain sight.
