"Travelling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller",
by Ibn Battuta.
Our journeys are bold and ambitious, and perhaps the flagship of this homepage.
Although we are also trekking and island nerds, our journeys are sorts of trailblazing travel expeditions which are unique, challenging and adventurous, and thus they epitomize our spirit within adventure.
Often, the regions, countries and places we visit during our journeys take on an exotic quality. What matters is to get away from the established routes and seek something that little bit more special and authentic. Often, we might have to overcome a bit of hardship and logistical challenges since our journeys most often don’t run smoothly. This is all part of the fun.
In our view, a journey is something you would recommend to others. To us, what really matters, is to get away from the established routes and seek something that little bit more special and authentic. We are not talking about the ultimate expedition, but to move away from the familiar, out of the comfort zone, where everyday situations and events take on an exotic quality.

Through all
50 STATES in the USA
Our travel project to travel through all 50 states in the United States of America.
We've been to the US many times!
Our journey began in childhood with visits to the East Coast and road trips through California.
Later, during our university years, we took shorter trips to places like New York, Atlanta, Boston, and several other cities.
In subsequent years, we made multiple visits for both business and personal adventures.
The idea for this project can be stated in a nutshell:
"The Great American Odyssey:
50 States, 50 Adventures".
This is a mid-term project designed to allow for a comprehensive exploration of each US state and its unique attractions.
Update 2025: We've now travel through 46 states.
The journey has spanned a total of 8 months, across 37 separate trips throughout the US.
Remaining states are: Michigan, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama.
'
Locations: Through all fifty states in the USA
During this epic multi-step journey across the United States we're exploring all 50 states while immersing ourselves in the natural wonders of national parks and experiencing key highlights in each state.
"The Great American Odyssey" is a travel project designed to celebrate the diversity and beauty of the United States, showcasing some of the rich tapestry of landscapes, cultures, and history that make up this incredible nation.
We focus on national park extravaganza and therefore on the key focus areas of this travel project is to visit several of the 63 national parks in the United States. From the rugged terrain of Denali National Park in Alaska to the Grand Canyon we'll seek to witness the breathtaking beauty of America's protected natural landscapes.
In each state, we will look for key attractions and landmarks. Along the way, we’ll try to engage with local communities, savor regional cuisines, and learn about the diverse cultures that shape each state. Attend festivals, visit museums, and participate in local traditions if possible. We'll prioritize thrilling activities like white-water rafting in Colorado, hiking the Appalachian Trail, exploring the canyons of Utah and hiking in Hawaii.
Planning, budgeting, and detailed itineraries are crucial for the success of this project. We have to consider modes of transportation, accommodation options such as camping in national parks or cozy bed-and-breakfasts, and we have to account for seasonal considerations for visiting certain states and parks.
This project is not just a travel adventure but a transformative experience that will deepen our appreciation for the United States' natural beauty, history, and cultural richness.
Capturing the essence of each state is not possible, but we hope to share just a bit our our journey and inspire others to explore the beauty and diversity of the United States.
The two last states that were added to the US are frontiers, highly unique geographies, and remotely positioned away from mainland US. We have explored both in depth and have made separate pages on each - check out our travels to the Hawaii Islands, and wild Alaska
