To close out our 2024 travel adventures, we finally made it to the UK—a destination we had been dreaming of for years.

The journey began in the charming small towns of Winchester, Bath, and Oxford. Their picturesque streets, steeped in history, and festive winter markets made for an enchanting start to the trip. Before heading to London, we indulged in two unique experiences: a visit to the Alpine F1 headquarters and a stop at Clarkson’s Farm, Diddly Squat—a treat for fans of motorsports and countryside charm alike.

Once in London, we were met with endless possibilities. From world-class museums to unforgettable dining, the city offered a perfect blend of culture and cuisine to round off our UK adventure.

October 2024 had one last adventure in store for us—a trip to Hawaii’s Big Island. We divided our time between the island’s two distinct sides, each offering unforgettable experiences.

The journey began on the lush eastern side in Hilo, where we hiked along the jungle-lined coast and braved the rain to reach a breathtaking waterfall. For the second half, we headed to Kona, where the highlights included snorkeling with graceful manta rays and witnessing some of the most spectacular sunsets we’ve ever seen.

In October 2024, longing for the mountains after our Whistler adventure, we planned a weekend escape to a familiar favorite: Estes Park. Nestled beside Rocky Mountain National Park, it offered the ideal blend of charming small-town life and invigorating mountain hikes.

The town itself was a delight, with cozy spots to eat and unique shops to explore—all set against the stunning backdrop of the Rockies. It was the perfect getaway to reconnect with nature while enjoying the simple pleasures of a mountain retreat.

In September 2024, we embarked on our big trip of the year—a weeklong escape to Canada’s stunning western coast. Our adventure took us to the breathtaking landscapes of Whistler and the vibrant streets of Vancouver.

This journey was all about connecting with nature, from hiking mountain trails to strolling through the serene city parks. The mountain views were as spectacular as expected, but the real surprises awaited us in the city—unexpected vistas that took our breath away.

In May 2024, we took a spontaneous trip to the remarkable city of Boston. Though it wasn’t our first visit, it was the first time we decided to explore without an agenda.

Over the long weekend, we wandered through the city on foot, from the historic streets of downtown Boston to the vibrant neighborhoods of Cambridge, often relying on the subway to connect the dots. With no set plans, every corner revealed a new discovery—hidden gems, cozy dinner spots, and the charm of Boston’s storied streets.

In March 2024, we began our journey in San Francisco, though our true destination lay farther north in the charming towns of Sonoma and Santa Rosa. During our trip, we enjoyed the breathtaking California coast, an exhilarating safari, and the timeless appeal of local vineyards.

Our Portuguese adventure was a whirlwind of flavors, landscapes, and unforgettable moments. From the Azores to Lisbon and Porto, each spot revealed a unique facet of this captivating country. Madeira's dramatic cliffs, thrilling hikes, and serene luxury spas left an indelible mark on our journey, making Portugal a treasure trove of cherished memories.

In February, our four-day trip to Salt Lake City was packed with excitement! From Olympic Park fun to relaxing in hot springs, every moment was an adventure. Exploring art-filled streets and snowy hills made us fall in love with Salt Lake City's magic!
