Thanks for visiting! We're Nik and Julie who have the travel bug that started with a two week trip to Europe in 2018 and again in 2019.

More recently, between April 2022 and May 2023, we took a year-long Sabbatical in Europe with our dog, Koval. Using Barcelona as our homebase, we visited 32 cities across 14 countries.

After returning to Chicago for roughly 16 and a half months, May 2023-September 2024, we've returned to Europe and are currently in Nice, France for the foreseeable future. Stick around and follow our adventures!!
