Way back in 2015, I wrote about this world-traveling family’s 20 Most Memorable Moments of 2014. But our journey had only just started — we continued hopping across the globe for a good portion of 2015. Here are the 35 things we experienced in 2015 that we regularly talk about.
› This summer we're packing up and hitting the road to experience that great tradition—the Epic American Road Trip. We'll be traveling the highways and byways of the United States, journeying through 17 states in three weeks. Join us, won't you?
After leaving England, we had a three-day layover in Iceland, a small island country the locals call a land of ice and fire. On our first day, we got the lay of the land in Reykjavik, along with a history lesson or two, and some delicious hot dogs.
Way back around the year 120, Roman Emperor Hadrian built a giant wall too keep the wildmen out of the northern border of the Roman Empire. Parts of that wall still stand today.
During our 333-day trip around the world, I filmed one second of video for each day we were traveling. Well, kind of. When it was all over, all that footage was turned into a six-minute video that nicely chronicles our journey. And you can see that video right here.
Our travels took us to Kingdom of Thailand, where we stayed for a month in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. We saw a lot of cool things during our stay—here are are few of them.
We spent two weeks in Siem Reap, Cambodia which gave us the time to see some amazing things—many of those courtesy of Dani Jump of Bees Unlimited. Here are some of what we saw during our stay.
We didn't quite know what to expect when we arrived in Vietnam, but we found it to be a fascinating and sometimes paradoxical country full of great food, rich tradition, and a complex history. Here's some of what we saw while we were there.
From street food to restaurants, grocery stores to farmer's markets, cooking classes to experimenting on our own, we try to embrace the food in every place we visit. Here's some of what we've eaten so far.
China is a big country (but it has only one time zone) rich in history, tradition, and culture. We only saw the highlights of what it has to offer.
We had no idea what to expect from South Korea, but, as you can see in these 100 or so pictures, it's a very interesting place with a rich history. We're looking forward to going back someday to explore more of this fascinating country.
Showcasing some of the more interesting things we did and saw in the two weeks we roamed around Japan.
Hong Kong was a mixed bag. We had some business to do there, so we didn't get to see as much of the city as we would have liked. We still took in a few good sights and experiences, though.
We only spent two days in Singapore. It's safe to say we really liked it but didn't see enough of it. Here's a little taste of what we did see.
We spent 18 days in Bali and saw a lot of interesting and sometimes unusual things. We tried to capture as much of both the beauty and the dirt as we could. Too bad we couldn't capture the smell though — there's nothing else quite like it.
