Hello, fellow travelers, we need your help! Now that we survived our grand European road trip, it’s time to look for new adventures. We are thinking a romantic trip here.

One year ago we stood in a beautiful room in the Town Hall of Stockholm. On that hot day, we got married. And wow, what a year it has been! We have spent quite a bit of time abroad. I remember a notebook I had as a teenager, on the cover, there was the following quote…
