And while there are a handful of scattered locations around the state to see them, my absolute favorite place is the "Avenue of the Giants," an incredible 27 km (17 mile) drive through northern California's ancient redwood forest. The road is lined by some of the largest trees in the world. It … [Read more...]

10 Days of Greece Holidays – 1Girl, 1Guy, 1Crazy Adventure

September 11, 2018 by Savvy Fernweh2 Comments

Recently I visited Greece for a 10 day holiday. Before planning our travels, I had some questions: - What are the best islands to visit in Greece? - Where to stay? - What to do?

How I Twice Failed in Saint Augustine (and still won)

September 7, 2018 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

Bet you didn't know, the oldest permanent European settlement in the US was founded in St. Augustine, Florida by Spanish conquistadors as early as 1565. It predates the next oldest European city (Santa Fe, New Mexico) by more than 4 decades. As of the time of this writing, the city has been continuously inhabited for 453 years. By North American standards, … [Read more...]
