Brisk Cappadocia sunrises made even better by our furry friend 🥰

We’d like to think that this guy just really wanted to hang out with us, but I think it’s more likely that he just couldn’t see where he was walking through all that hair 🙈 https://t.co/RxEufPYqtV

The truth about the #pyramids: they’re one of the most touristy places we’ve ever visited! Despite getting there an hour before they opened, there were already many tour buses full of people exploring the grounds.

We were scammed by a teenage kid who s… https://t.co/1dkQXayawV

Wandering around #Egypt feels like walking through a history book. We remember learning about all the pharaohs in school but they always felt more like fictional characters than real human beings. After walking through their temples and tombs and seeing … https://t.co/pr86nXqVgD

Magical mornings in Cappadocia ✨

You don’t have to book an expensive hot air balloon ride in order to enjoy the balloons of Cappadocia. One of our favorite things to do was to wake up 30 minutes before sunrise, head over to the launch spot to watch … https://t.co/YpKFLvwagg

Is the grass always greener on the other side? A few years ago we couldn’t imagine anything better than a life of full time travel, changing homes every few days or weeks, living in perpetual summer in the tropics. After 14 months of aggressive travel an… https://t.co/IqHHHGDAfl

Having your life all figured out is a glamorous idea. It sounds amazing to wake up each morning knowing your life’s purpose and spend every waking minute powering towards those goals. But it’s not always easy - your interests change, your goals change, a… https://t.co/HXXBxfaLM9

Where did 2019 go? Can’t believe there are only about two months left in this year! This year took us from South and Southeast Asia to the Middle East and it’s been a wild ride. Here’s a recap of our favorite places/moments from this year so far:

Is floating in the Dead Sea overrated?

Absolutely not! It was 100x cooler than we were expecting! Let me explain.

When you first walk into the water it feels mostly normal. As you get deeper and deeper, the water starts to feel thick, almost like jello… https://t.co/QYcowiP6dO

Are you a minimalist? When we first started traveling, we had 3 giant checked suitcases, 2 carryons, and 2 backpacks 🙈. We started pruning our belongings in order to fit under Air Asia’s 7kg carry on limit, but also because throwing stuff away feels … https://t.co/hqpeXWAylr

We always wanted to go to Mars but we went to Jordan instead for the oxygen and camels 🐪.

Can you guess which movies were filmed in this fiery red desert?

WELCOME TO JORDAN 🇯🇴

We knew that coming here would be very different from the tropical beaches and waterfalls that we’ve gotten so used to in SE Asia over the past year, but we had no idea what an adventure it would be. This trip actually turned out t… https://t.co/Owni8luiA8

The infamous palm tree hill in Mirissa, Sri Lanka. This is one of the rare places that is actually really cool despite being so hyped on Instagram! We ended up visiting twice - once in the morning, when this photo… https://t.co/Y8lMya3uSQ

We’re back! We’ve been camping in the desert in Jordan the past 2 weeks and mostly out of WiFi range. Wrapping up some old Sri Lanka pics before sharing what we’ve been up to in Jordan! Check our stories for more on… https://t.co/1AK2KrTNDS

Have you ever been #glamping? We had our first ever experience at @banyancamp a few days ago! There’s nothing like going to sleep and hearing wild elephants, buffalo, and monkeys roaming around just around the corner 🐘🐒 https://t.co/NfVqya7lbz

Wrapping up our time here in Sri Lanka exploring some of the amazing beaches on the south coast! We had an awesome stay at dotsbayhouse right on Hiriketya Beach - free surfboard rentals and good vibes, what more… https://t.co/7zOo8OqqwS

There are some places in the world that are more beautiful than it’s possible to capture in a photo. The Nine Arch bridge in Ella is one of those places. We visited in the afternoon and yes, it was packed with selfie sticks and didn’t feel like much of a… https://t.co/v6Zwjq1Cd8

Just hanging out at the top of one of Sri Lanka’s tallest waterfalls. Swipe to see how high this waterfall really is! 😧

After nonstop sightseeing and moving cities every few days, sometimes all we want is to not have to put clothes on and chill in our room all day. It definitely makes it harder to leave when there’s a jacuzzi in your… https://t.co/QFIW9r5f0D
