ABOUT US

Megan began this blog in 2010 when she was looking for a way to share her adventures to lesser-known countries with like-minded travelers. It was also a resource for those looking to move to Norway, her adopted home at the time.

A few years later, Aram joined in on the fun and we currently love sharing our passion for traveling with others who enjoy it too! We focus on Scandinavia, the former-USSR, and other places that have inspired us around the world!

Our mission is to help you plan your trip with our itineraries, transportation guides, tour recommendations, travel tips, and much more!

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to check out our Armenia travel blog and Virginia travel blog when you’re done reading the information on this site!
