The Dark and the Light Side of Nuremberg, Germany

The Dark and the Light Side of Nuremberg, Germany

Most of us know the name Nuremberg, because of the trials held after World War II.

We explored the dark and Nazi side of Nuremberg but, thankfully, discovered ourselves charmed by her light side first.

A Real Irish Pub Crawl (in Ireland, they just call 'em pubs)

A Real Irish Pub Crawl (in Ireland, they just call 'em pubs)

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, your GypsyNesters take a look at some real Irish pubs, you know, the kind actually in Ireland—so we suppose that they're simply called pubs.

We're guessing none of these public houses would ever dare to ruin a perfectly good pint by turning it green... CONTINUE READING >>



We Ruined Ourselves in Osaka, Japan

Kuidaore, a Japanese word meaning "to ruin yourself with extravagant food," has become synonymous with the city of Osaka.

Charms of the Chagga People of Tanzania...and Staying in Touch with Loved Ones when Traveling

Charms of the Chagga People of Tanzania

The Chagga family philosophy extends beyond their borders; they believe that all of humankind is family.

Our stay in the tiny village of Rau, near the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro, immersed us in a culture that welcomed us as next of kin.

Follow your GypsyNesters as we travel deep into Tanzania, learning from the Chagga about dance and music, farming and playing, family and friendship... CONTINUE READING >>

How We Stay in Touch with Loved Ones as We Travel

We're often asked how we stay in touch with our adult kids as we travel.

 Yes, our phone conversations with family and friends almost always begin with the question, Where are you guys?
Honestly, in the days before cell phones and the internet, we're not sure how anyone would have been able to stay connected while leading the lifestyle we've chosen... CONTINUE READING >>

Finding the Twerp in Antwerp... and reasons to be incredibly thankful

Ever Wonder How Our Adventure Began? Guess We've Always Been a Little Crazy!

Have you ever wondered how we met? 

A one-night stand (not ours!), a beat-up old (heavy metal) car named the Sharkmobile, and the US Postal Service delivered a one-three punch we couldn't ignore.

It might not be the most romantic story and, the odds most definitely were NOT in our favor, but... CONTINUE READING >>

Doing Dublin... and Guess We've Always Been a Little Crazy!

Doing Dublin in Double Time

We didn’t have a pot full o’ time to discover Dublin, we had but a day to discover her charms. 

But we made the most of this fair city - we learned how to pour a perfect pint at the Guinness Academy, stormed her castle, ate native food, made a daring escape, and took a peek at Molly Malone (where exactly was David looking?)... CONTINUE READING >>
