We spent 24 hours in Madison, Wisconsin and fell in love with the city. We tried Wisconsin favorites including walleye fish fry, cheese curds, and frozen custard. We enjoyed two of Madison's amazing museums and a free tour of the Wisconsin State Capitol. We couldn't have asked for better weather and we can't wait to go back.

To close out our deep dive into San Francisco, we took a trip down memory lane and walked around our old neighborhoods near Dolores Park at Church/20th and in the Mission near Shotwell/18th. We also ventured over to Noe Valley to see if we recognized anything. Join us on our memory trip and our search for a garlic shrimp burrito.

Washington DC offers more than just monuments and museums. It's a living, breathing city where history meets modern life on every corner. Our 12-day house-sitting adventure gave us an authentic perspective on the nation's capital, complete with a friendly dog named Charlie and a cat named Toby (RIP) as our temporary roommates. Here's how we discovered DC's many layers, from tourist highlights to local haunts that we captured in a 6-part video series.

Deep dive into San Francisco: tourists in our own backyard. After scheduling a night tour on Alcatraz Island we shifted our day to begin after lunch by taking the SF Water Taxi from the Exploratorium to Hyde Street Pier at the north end of Fisherman's Wharf with the goal of exploring everything between Aquatic Park and Pier 33 where we would be taking the ferry to Alcatraz.

Many people overlook Umbria, the landlocked area to the east of Tuscany and miss an extraordinarily beautiful region filled with history, architecture, outdoor activities, food, and wine.

Terri and Zeke are often asked about how they plan their trips and they share their processes for short trips, short and important trips, and long trips, along with when to use a travel agent/advisor in this blog post and their latest YouTube video.

We are big fans of home exchanges through HomeExchange.com…it’s fun to live like a local, possibly make new friends, and save money (so you can spend it on more travel!).

Zeke and Terri enjoyed a surprisingly delightful overnight experience and safari at Safari West in Santa Rosa, California, in Sonoma County. Unlike Trix cereal, it’s not just for kids.

Healdsburg, in Sonoma County, is a bougie alternative to Napa Valley offering up some incredible food, beautiful scenery, outdoor activities, and amazing wine. Some would argue it’s better than Napa!

We’ve put together a list of our favorite places to visit Paris’ arrondissements 1-8 to go with our latest video.

Field trip from Montreal: Apple Picking and Covered Bridges in New York and Vermont

Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada is an easy day trip from Montreal

The Southern California High Desert in the Mojave Desert is an extraordinary place and well worth a day trip from Palm Springs.

We are surprised by the number of Bay Area people we know who have never been to Palm Springs, CA even though it’s a little over an hour flight from SFO, Oakland, and San Jose. Maybe folks think it’s just for old people, to which I say nay nay.

Palm Springs, California is very dog friendly with not just restaurants and stores accommodating well behaved dogs, but other tourist spots as well.

Zeke and Terri participated in Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California for the first time by attending a poolside cocktail soiree and touring six homes in the Sunmor Estates neighborhood.

Looking for some off-the beaten path activities in San Francisco? We have four ideas for you including the Legion of Honor, Lands End Coastal Trail, the Ferry Building, and an ebike ride along the Embarcadero. We triple dog dare you to do all four in one day.

The Coachella Valley (home of Palm Springs, CA) is home to many consignment and vintage stores. We were in search of a mid-century modern coffee table and explored 14 different stores and galleries. Did we find what we were looking for? No. But we made a list of places for you to check out if you too are on a tresure hunt.
