If you’re building your 2026 bucket list, these were the adventures that left the biggest mark on us this year — the ones that reminded us to stay curious, stay moving, and keep our hearts open.   ⭐️ Rent a van and roam across Europe with @bunkcampers + @justgouk — Wake up somewhere new every morning as you chase castles, coastlines, and cobblestoned cities at your own pace.    ⭐️ Sail the Caribbean with @virginvoyages — Indulge in adults-only luxury, island-hopping from one turquoise dreamscape to the next.    ⭐️ Go cave diving in the Yucatán — Slip beneath the jungle into ancient cenotes and explore otherworldly underwater caverns.    ⭐️ Drive the legendary Alaska Highway — Cross thousands of miles of wild, stunning frontier where every bend reveals mountains, wildlife, and pure freedom.    ⭐️ Stay off-grid at @granitepointseward in Resurrection Bay — Unplug completely in a secluded cliffside cabin surrounded by whales, otters, and untouched Alaskan beauty.    ⭐️ Surf the warm, glassy waves of Costa Rica — Ride perfect breaks, recharge on palm-lined beaches, and soak up pura vida energy.    ⭐️ Hike the @matanuskaglacier — Trek across shimmering blue ice, deep crevasses, and towering formations carved by millennia.    ⭐️ Wander through Europe’s Christmas markets — Sip mulled wine, browse handmade treasures, and lose yourself in twinkling lights and winter magic.    This year surprised us. Ten days in a van from Italy to Scotland (wished we’d stretched it longer). A winter move up the Alaska Highway that felt equal parts wild and right. Quiet mornings, big views, filled with small moments and lots of reminders to pay attention to the magic happening all around us.    In 2026 we hope you choose one adventure that pulls at you — even a little, challenges your perceptions and helps you grow. What’s the one thing you want next year’s version of you to look back on and smile? ❤️   #TravelInspiration #AdventureAwaits #BucketList2026

You know those dreamy holiday photos where it looks like you have an entire market all to yourself? Yeah… that’s always not exactly how it goes. 😂    If you’re planning a Christmas market trip this winter, here’s a few tips to save your sanity:    • Skip weekends — they’re beautiful but packed beyond belief.    • Big markets = big crowds. They’re gorgeous and worth seeing, but don’t expect personal space.    • For a calmer, cozier experience, look toward smaller towns or underrated cities. Helsinki and Tallinn were some of our favorites for relaxed holiday exploring.    • And if you want clean photos or video? Go during daylight. The crowds are way lighter, and you can actually see the stalls you’re filming.    This year we made the mistake of visiting the Cologne Cathedral market on a Saturday night. We thought, “How busy could it be?” Turns out the answer is: shoulder-to-shoulder, can’t-breathe, mulled-wine-acrobatics busy. Beautiful… but chaotic.    Dreaming of a Christmas Market trip? What’s at the top of your list? 🎄     #Christmastmarket #Holidaytravel #christmasmarketplanning

If you’re mapping out a Europe Christmas market trip, here’s what our chaotic route looked like — and why each stop deserves a spot on your travel list:    🇩🇪 Cologne (Köln) – One of Germany’s Christmas-market capitals. Several themed markets, incredible food stalls, and a cathedral that makes everything feel extra magical. It’s the perfect launch spot for a winter trip through Europe.    🇫🇷 Strasbourg – The Capital of Christmas since 1570. Half-timbered buildings, glowing streets, and some of the best Vin Chaud of the entire trip. If you want charm, this is where you go.    🇫🇷 Colmar – A real-life snow globe. Medieval squares, canals, wooden chalets, and Christmas lights everywhere you turn. It’s one of the most photogenic places in Europe during winter.    🇫🇷 Riquewihr – A tiny storybook village that inspired Beauty and the Beast. We also stopped counting how much cheese we ate here… or which language we were speaking by then.    🇩🇪 Freiburg – A cozy Black Forest university town with a super charming Christmas market. Great for handmade gifts, local sweets, and catching your breath between bigger cities.    🇱🇺 Luxembourg City – A surprisingly fun mix of medieval fortresses and modern streets — plus a Christmas market that delivered in every way. Also the place where we discovered hot Aperol… which explains a lot.    At some point, we completely lost track of what country we were in, what drink we were holding, or how many markets were left.    Was it insane? Yes.    Will our feet hate us for the rest of 2025? Absolutely.    Was it worth every step? Oh, without a doubt.    If you’re planning a Christmas trip through Europe, save this route — it’s a perfect mix of big markets, small villages, easy train connections, and more holiday magic than any one person needs.✨    #christmasmarkets #europetravel #winterineurope

There’s never a perfect moment — and that’s exactly why we stopped waiting. ✨    Life doesn’t hand out certainty, but it does reward the people who show up for their dreams. Time is the one thing we never get back… so we chose to spend it on what makes us feel alive. 🌍    We didn’t step into this life because everything was figured out. We stepped in because the excitement of “what if?” felt too good to ignore. And the best parts of our journey happened in the messy, unplanned, joy-filled moments. Every time we said “let’s just go,” something beautiful met us on the other side.    If you needed a sign, this is it. What dream has been tugging at you?
