With the extreme weather of Hurricane Irene and the opening of the Martin Luther King, Jr.memorial, we have had an interesting NYC2NOLA Road Trip day in the U.S. Capital.

Yesterday in Philadelphia was all about the food, so today we dedicated ourselves to discovering the role that Philadelphia has played in US history. Both of us knew about the main attractions/events like the Liberty Bell and the signing of the Constitution, but we were actually very surprised to understand just how much of the American way of life is revealed in the city.

From a mini self-hosted TV tour of NYC to a fabulous foodie Philly experience, we’re now on stop two of our Great American Road Trip from New York City to New Orleans. Watch this space, as we provide daily updates from each stop. Today we are in Philly!

Our Great American Road Trip 2011 is taking us from New York City to New Orleans and we’d love you to follow along! Today we were in Manhattan, New York – with the pictures to prove it…Enjoy!

Portugal’s capital city took us completely by surprise when, after booking a three-week stay on a whim, we ended up enamored by Lisbon’s allure. We would recommend exploring the region on wheels – by car, by bike and a more creative three-wheeled machine as well!

The second largest falls after the Victoria Falls in Africa have long been on our list of places to see. We finally made it to the Niagara Falls, an incredible sight.

For those who haven’t been there, what they say about Tuscany really is true: gorgeous hills planted with olive trees and vineyards. While you could spend your trip in a rustic villa, swimming, sipping and sleeping the days away, taking in the culture and public life of Tuscany is fascinating. Read on for our top choices, which may surprise you…

Life as digital nomads can sound glamorous and carefree, and to a certain extent, it really is. But there is a dark side to this lifestyle – the “near heart attack” when we think we’ve lost or misplaced something. Read on as we share our most embarrassing freak-out moment ever.

We hiked the 10km rugged coastline of Cinque Terre in Northern Italy on the path that connect the five world-famous villages, up dangerous part of dirt paths and along the path of love, plus we had plenty of pizza in between.

Being on the road every day of the year means we stay at countless hotels along the way. For all the run-of-the-mill spots, there are the absolute gems which tick all the boxes. This week’s hotel tip: Hesperia Sevilla in Seville, Spain.
