We’re only two weeks in to 2019 and already have some amazing trips planned! This year, we’re focusing on more DIY adventures, as opposed to the guided tours we’ve relied on for some of our recent trips.
That means we’re rolling up our sleeves, doing our research and planning out each leg of our trip in painstaking detail to make sure we don’t miss anything on our bucket list!
We’ve mapped out (literally) our trips and are getting excited to hit the road. Check out our itineraries below and let us know if you have any recommendations!
