Spirited Travelers

My father was in the army and we moved five times before I was seven. When I was seven, we moved to Alaska from Minnesota. My grandmother gave me a camera ~ my first camera ~ because she wanted me to send her photos of our trip.

That first camera blossomed into a love of photography. Thank you, grandma 🙂

In 2017, we were presented with a job opportunity that would allow us to live and work in Europe for a couple of years. We quickly said “yes!” We sold our house and our cars, divided all our remaining possessions into four groups for shipping and storage, got the necessary travel paperwork for our dog and away we went.

When we’re not working, we’re traveling around Europe as much as possible. Spirited Travelers is where we share our journeys.

If you’re like us, thinking of traveling in Europe evokes images of the Eiffel Tower, Rome, Amsterdam, etc. Of course, they are cool places but they’re only the beginning. Consider:

The largest brick castle in the world, sand dunes and sunbathing on the beaches along the Baltic…

And …

A KGB spying station, a submarine in a museum and repurposed Zeppelin hangers …

Or maybe …

The winemaking tradition of Malta and liquor based on a 500-year recipe?

And so much more. Spirited Travelers is a place to escape from the daily hassle and get some inspiration for your next European adventure. And it only takes 5 Minutes.
