TEASERS
SEASON 1 | BRAZIL TEASER
We spent a very intense 3 months in Brazil, dividing our time between Rio de Janeiro and the beautiful coastal town of Natal, in the Northeast Region. It was a time for family, old time friends, lounging in white sand beaches, tasting amazing flavors and some fearless adventurous moments (like paragliding in Rio and ziplining in Natal!) See why Rodrigo's home country is still one of the most beautiful places you should visit in the world - Brazilians know better than any other people how to have real fun. Forget all the negative press and enjoy a minute of pure joy; we can prove that the country has much more to offer than just Carnaval, bikinis and Samba.

SEASON 1 | RTW REEL
So many extraordinary experiences, perfect places, memorable moments comprised our journey. Our first RTW Reel is just a small fragment of those experiences. Everything was shot handheld and in the heat of the moment, completely unscripted. We believe in the everlasting impact of stories - strong and truthful narratives illustrated by beautiful, effective visuals. We hope our story might inspire other people to travel more and discover their dormant wanderlust.

SEASON 1 | ARGENTINA TEASER
Argentina! Home of the Tango, intrepid Gauchos, award-winning wines and exquisite landscapes. We had many great experiences in this amazing country while road-tripping from elegant Buenos Aires, through wine-drenched Mendoza, to fascinating Peninsula Valdez. For 10 days we drove 5,000 + Km through the Pampas to the edge of Patagonia and could barely scrape the surface of all that Argentina has to offer travelers. Here is a short teaser featuring some highlights of the upcoming episodes.

SEASON 2 | SOUTH AFRICA TEASER
South Africa will forever be in our hearts and minds. So much so that we decided to share a few scenes from our unforgettable experience there while we finish the SEASON 1 South America episodes (Chile, Argentina and Brazil.) Meet Bretton, our Kruger National Park game drive guide, as he takes us through a day in his "office." Zebras, Elephants, rhinos, giraffes, impalas, lions, buffalo, hyenas, baboons, hippos and even the legendary black mamba snake - we had many unexpected encounters with these majestic animals and can't wait to share them with you.

SEASON 1 | PERU TEASER
Our journey begins in beautiful Peru! We spent 3 weeks in Peru and we are ready to share our fantastic experiences. This is the teaser for our upcoming Season 1 episodes. Peru had very uneven and unreliable wi fi service, so we weren't able to upload much content. From sampling amazing typical food in up-and-coming Lima, through the humbling streets of Ollantaytambo at the base of the Inca Trail, to the mystical ruins of Machupicchu, Peru offers an array of unforgettable adventures - and we certainly had our share of those!

EPISODE ZERO : PREVIEW
In just over 3 minutes, this video covers our "trial run" trip to Europe during the Summer of 2014. We call it a "trial run" because we were able to identify many of the things that we think will work really well and also the pesky details we must avoid while on our RTW trip. We zapped through France and Italy using planes, trains, bikes, vaporetos, and automobiles - well, one small Fiat Panda. The trip was a celebration of Gretchen's parents 50th Anniversary. We started in Paris, France, then flew to Venice, Italy, where we met other members of Gretchen's family along the way, culminating in a beautiful Villa outside of Naples where 14 of us stayed for a week. The 4 of us took the opportunity to also visit Rome, Assisi, Perugia, Sorrento, Florence, and Sestri Levante. Heather stayed in Seattle preparing for the big RTW trip.
