I am convinced that every country believes they are the ones who are always late. The Slovakians called off a revolution for being late, the Spanish eat at 10 because they say they were never on time to an 8:00 dinner, and the Greeks are on Greek Maybe Time, or GMT. Seeing as I am a week late on this article, clearly I am still on Greek Maybe Time.

Sometimes I like to think about the first backpackers out there. What possessed them to strap a 50L sack to their back with most of their belongings and walk from city to city? Better yet, how the hell did they pack that sack filled with everything they needed?
Read MoreOur Eastern Euro-Trip has finally come to an end. But don't worry, we made sure this last part was nothing short of wedging ourselves between time fissures in the caves of Budapest, seven towns in seven days throughout Romania, watching a street fight in Bulgaria, epic nights out in the ruins bars and of course... the hunt for Dracula!
You can make your own assumptions about the mysterious disappearance of Vlad the Impalers body, but we certainly believe in Dracula and even went all the way to Bran, Romania just to see his castle.
Just because the Eastern European adventure is coming to an end doesn't mean we are. Next stop is a sailboat through the Greek Isles, so be sure to tune in two weeks for another heart stopping, jaw dropping, earth shattering video.
After four months of traveling with one person you begin to play games to avoid the repetition of stories you’ve already heard a thousand times, or just to pass the time until you meet a new group. Our personal favorite is “Zitch Dog.” From the ever so popular How I Met Your Mother, you say “Zitch Dog” whenever you see a dog. We have been playing so long we have stopped keeping score. Sometimes, for jokes, we will say “Zitch Snow” or “Zitch Cat” and now, after about three months of traipsing around Europe, “Zitch Eastern Europe.”
Read MoreFrom behind the Iron Curtain to the former countries of Yugoslavia we are on to the second part of our Eastern European adventure! There are endless differences between these two regions-- the culture, the public transportation, even the people. But, it is yet another adventure we are completely ready for! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the adventures of Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia. Remember: this is only part 2 of 3 and the final portion of our Eastern Euro-Trip is only 2 weeks away.
It is impossible to travel without meeting someone new. Even if you are a complete recluse, someone is going to talk to you, ask you questions about your travels, and you are going to find that no two travelers are the same.
Read MoreEuro Trip was wrong about everything in Eastern Europe, but that doesn't stop us from having a bit of fun hiking some epic trails, biking through wineries, and seeing every single type of weather you could imagine, yes even snow in the sun! But just take a look for yourself...
Throughout my years of travel I have developed the Gibson Girl 5 Stages of Travel. Years of research, scientific experiments, and not being able to find tampons in Eastern Europe have led me to this great discovery.
Read MoreWhen I think of Eastern Europe I think of a run down, old, grey building with broken windows covered in graffiti. You can call me naïve but I have never really ventured outside of Western Europe.
Read MoreScandinavia is known for its epic hikes through fjords and vast, untamed landscapes just waiting to be explore...if it wasn't closed for the winter! Even though most of the hiking trails, stores, and all around activities we were planning to do were closed, we managed to make Scandinavia as epic as possible. Next stop: Eastern Europe, so stay tuned for more videos
We are going to stray away from the comical anecdotes for some hard-core tips on traveling throughout Scandinavia for a minute. Because, in all honesty, what I am about to tell you are important facts when planning your next adventure to the Nordic north.
Read MoreSchnitzel is a traditional German meal. It is a piece of pork, chicken, or veal pounded thin, breaded, and baked to a delicious golden brown for a melt in your mouth flavor. Add a side of German potato salad, a little lemon and you will just about be in Heaven.
