How to Spend Three Days in London
London is, in many ways, iconic to travel in Europe. For many traveling outside the United States for the first time, London represents something attainable and less intimidating because of its similarities to culture in America, and is therefore a first pick for tourists who have never been outside the U.S. In fact, it was our first destination in Europe for the much same reason. Yet, traveling to London presents its own challenges. Namely, the amount of things you’ll want to do and see in London will be staggering. London is massive, and ten trips to this sparkling city wouldn’t be enough to fully uncover all there is to experience.

Ivy in Kyoto, Japan
An Interview with Ivy from Kollecting Koordinates
Maximizing one's time to travel while still working a full-time job is a reality for most people, as taking long periods of time off from working is not always practical. Not only is vacation time limited, but so are finances. But maximizing that time to travel is something that Ivy Ko has mastered. With her husband, she has traveled to a long list of dream destinations around the world while still maintaining her full time career at home. And her website is proof, as she is the mastermind behind Kollecting Koordinates, a travel blog full of inspiration, stories, and beautiful photography. We wanted to get to know Ivy a little more (and so should you), so we asked her for an interview. Here's what she had to say about travel, life, and the world. So, Ivy, tell us about yourself...

The view from Mount Snowdon
Completing the U.K.’s Three Peaks Challenge

Mount Snowdon (3,560 ft.), Scafell Pike (3,209 ft.), and Ben Nevis (4,409 ft.) are scattered throughout Wales, England, and Scotland. Completing the U.K. 3 Peaks Challenge ended up being one of the most incredible travel experiences I’ve had to date. Maybe it’s because I went into it with little to no training and still succeeded (which means you can too), or maybe it’s because I got to feast my eyes upon truly incredible and one of a kind views.
Stephen: A Backpacker’s Tale
Sometimes the desire to travel grabs you and never lets go. That's exactly what happened to Stephen after he took his first journey to a foreign country. His trip to Ireland sparked that flame inside that all travelers are familiar with. After that, he just didn't want to go home. So he took off again and started a travel blog and made his passion a priority. We asked Stephen to fill us in on some of the details about his life, how he travels, where he's been, and what motivates him to keep on going after so much time on the road.
