Mermaids, Hippies, and the Spires of Copenhagen, Denmark

A truly colorful town!

Race around Copenhagen with your GypsyNesters as we check out her art and architecture, her quirks and colors, and successfully dodge a contact high in a real live hippie colony (and though we don't partake, we used it as an excuse to satisfy our munchies anyway)... CONTINUE READING >>

Taking on Tallinn, Estonia

While we can’t say that Estonia occupied a spot on our bucket list, we sure are glad that we checked it off anyway! 

You've GOT to love a country that sang its way to freedom, serves food you didn't even know was edible and (in the past), used some freaky remedies to cure what ails ya... CONTINUE READING

The Baroque Cities of Sicily... and How to Find the Ideal Place to Volunteer

Noto to Self: Explore Sicily's Baroque Cities



Solid. Multi-layered. Fantastic.

There are too many adjectives to describe the Baroque cities of Sicily's Val di Noto to fit into one article (but we gave it our best shot!).

In an effort to recreate the grandeur of Sicily after a devastating earthquake, massive structures were constructed in what came to be known as Sicilian Baroque... CONTINUE READING >>

Making a Difference in the Dominican Republic


When we heard there's a cruise that focuses on making a positive impact in the community it visits, we immediately thought, "where do we sign up?"

Join us as we train -- while sailing -- for our volunteer activities aboard our ship, plant trees in an ongoing reforestation project, construct water filters with a clean water initiative, and pour concrete floors in homes in the community.

But all work and no play make your GypsyNesters dull boys - so we're going to show you the beauty of the Dominican Republic - hit the beach!.. CONTINUE READING >>

How to Help the People of Ecuador

Our hearts are breaking for the people of Ecuador. 

We felt the need to help - and want to share with you what we found in our search of ways to help in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake.

If you would like to join us, here are five suggestions...


Looking into Indonesia


Whenever we check an item off of our bucket list, it seems we find two more to replace it. 

Without fail someone opens our eyes to another destination that we must add to our ever growing roster of places we want to visit.

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.
