We spent a busy day and a half in DC where in our best (and well practiced) power-tourist style, we visited a total of 4 museums, including the Art Museum of the Americas, the…
4 days in The Big Easy (New Orleans)
Neither of us had ever been to the famous city of New Orleans so we were sure to make this one of our final stops of the trip. While the weather…
2 weeks in sunny Vancouver
We were impossibly lucky with perfect sunny weather for almost our entire stay in Vancouver. We had been to this beautiful city a number of times before, but still managed to discover lots…
3 days in Seattle
We traded the dry heat of Austin for the damp cold of Seattle on a 3-day stop before heading north to Vancouver. We had been to the Seattle/Tacoma area once before…
SXSW, BBQ and local beers in Austin, Texas

Photo impressions of Valparaíso
We spent 4 days in the bustling port city of Valparaíso about 1,5 hours drive from Santiago. The city is a disorganized mess, and on first impression a bit of a…
2 days in Melbourne
We made a brief stop in Melbourne on our way to Sydney. After a pretty tough overnight flight and outrageous lines at customs, we managed a short nap and then hit…
Temples and waterfalls
The former Lao capital of Luang Prabang is a city (more of a town really) of 50.000 people and over 60 temples. We didn’t visit all of them but the ones that we…
Siem Reap and the temples at Angkor
After a long and fairly uncomfortable minibus ride (we were stuffed in like a clown car) to the Cambodian boarder, we crossed on foot and took a taxi the remaining 3 hours (poor…

Verdi’s Nabucco opera at the Verona arena
Once in a while we like to take a break from beer tasting and experience a little high culture. So when we stumbled on opera season in Verona, we decided to check it out. The show…
World Expo 2015
If you didn’t know, Milan is currently hosting the World Expo (Alex was surprised that they still have those). Luckily, we had discussed this with some friends before leaving Copenhagen, so made a special…
Visit to Starfleet Academy
We’re pretty sure that this area has been used as a Sci-Fi movie set, but can’t place exactly where. If not, it certainly should be. In reality, the City of…
Roman and Moorish ruins (Málaga, Granada and Cartagena)
We visited a number of Roman and Moorish ruins in the cities of Málaga, Cartagena and Granada. We found the most interesting Roman history in Cartagena where there was a…
Street art (Málaga, Cartegena and Valencia)
