Trampolines: New Way to Travel in Russia & Paris
On our latest trip to La Paz, Mexico, one night, we were bored waiting for other dinner guests. So we opted to explore the malecón (water walkway).

Voyeuristic Airplane Traveler Photos by John Schabel
John Schabel’s Passengers is a black and white photographic series of intimate portraits of airplane travelers.

While there, we discovered The Gallery Inn in Old San Juan. On […]
Voyage Vixen Heroines: Andie MacDowell in Peru
On Pinterest, we have a board called “Voyage Vixen Heroines” dedicated to women we feel embody our motto and passions for Eat, Play, Love experiences around the globe.

We met – where else? – while traveling. We were in the gorgeous province of Alberta, Canada touring through Calgary, Banff, and Lake Louise… We bonded over the natural beauty, our natural inclination toward adventure and adrenaline junkie fun, delicious food, and the best ice wine we’d ever tasted. But it wasn’t until a ride up to a pristine and magical little tea house in Lake Louise on horseback with a GQ cowboy as our guide that we knew we’d be lifelong travel buddies! Since then we’ve had adventures together around the globe and back again…
