Packing light might feel like an impossible task, especially when we’re trying to prepare for every what-if scenario. But traveling with less doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort or style. In fact, embracing minimalist packing can make trips more enjoyable by reducing stress, saving time, and giving us the freedom to focus on the journey itself. Remember, […]

He’s a travel media maven, and we’re honored he’s invited us to speak at his conferences, give webinars to the Nomadic Network community, and write articles for his website. We share a […]
Some places grab you the moment you arrive—and Italy is definitely one of them. It’s not just the history, food, or stunning views; it’s something you feel. Imagine sitting in a cozy little wine bar in Florence, walking along quiet canals in Venice at night, or having a meal in Rome that tantalizes your tastebuds […]
We lived in New Jersey for 11 years, but after this 7-day road trip, we realized how much we had taken for granted. Nicknamed the Garden State, it boasts numerous outdoor recreational opportunities, including 130 miles of beaches, 12 national park sites, and the first national reserve. It’s the only state in the US where […]
Overlanding from Namibia to Angola was a total wild card. All we really knew was that this southern African country was a Portuguese colony for ~400 years and was embroiled in a decades-long civil war until 2002. To plan this Angola trip, we figured we’d get to the border town of Rundu, Namibia, gather some […]
Huntsville, Alabama totally took us by surprise. We knew “Rocket City” had NASA’s largest space flight center and the beloved Space Camp, but we had no idea their music, art, and food scene would also be out of this world. The city has one of the highest concentrations of PhDs in the country, and they […]
Here at HoneyTrek, we absolutely LOVE road trips. In fact, we have road tripped through all 50 US States (not to mention countless Canadian Provinces, Mexican states, and nearly 100 countries). The feeling of cruising down the backroads of America, windows down, solid tunes on the radio…that’s a vibe! Below you will find our favorite […]
Our safari vehicle ascended into the Soutpansberg Mountains, passing 2,000-year-old acacia trees, craggy red cliffs, and pinstriped kudu browsing the bushes. With every switchback, anticipation built for our South Africa glamping stay at Few & Far Luvhondo, Sarah and Jacob Dusek’s grand return to outdoor hospitality after selling Under Canvas in 2018. Unlike their previous […]
Everyone knows the world-class city of San Francisco and the high-tech hub Silicon Valley, but many miss the gems in between. The San Francisco Peninsula is just a few miles south of the city, flanked by the Pacific Ocean and the SF Bay, with stunning mountains running up the middle. While it has a bunch […]
We always love a college town for its youthful energy, creative thinking, and fun-loving vibes, but Berkeley, California, is next level. They are the activists who started the Free Speech Movement of the 1960s, the locavores who defined farm-to-table and California Cuisine in the 70s, and today, they are the creatives, movers, and shakers who […]
