2015 was a crazy year of travel, one which saw us crisscross the globe, hit a few new countries and states, and even settle down in our own house for the first time in 5 years.

And while the year was incredible as a whole, there are some instances that stick out as the best – and ones that we will remember forever.

From hot air balloon rides over ancient temples to self-guided food tours of back alley stalls, here are our top 24 experiences of 2015 – including a few that will surprise you!

4 Choices That Landed Us at The Edge of The Grand Canyon

Ep-196

The Grand Canyon is a sight to behold.

One so great that Heather’s jaw actually dropped when she saw it for the first time.

And today’s podcast is recorded from its very edge!

Situated on a cliff on the outside of the Grand Canyon we decided to record a podcast about all the decisions we made that lead us to this moment.

Our hope is that you can take the lessons of these decisions and apply them to your own travel and hopefully find yourself somewhere just as amazing!

We also want to thank YOU for making these moments possible!

14 Super Touristy Destinations That We Love

Episode-93

Since you already know that we’re super tourists (and super nerdy) we decided to take it a step farther and list of our favorite tourist destinations around the world.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

These are the places that are seen by many independent travelers to be a little too full of tourists for their tastes.

We disagree.

Sometimes places are so packed with tourists because they’re full of amazing and cool things that everyone should make an effort to see and experience.

Have you been to a super touristy destination that we left off our list? Let us know! You know us, we’re always looking for places to add to our travel lists!
