My Backyard Hiking Paradise, CO. One of my favorite things is just walking up and up and up on random forest roads, until I figure the sun will set before I get home and I book it back just in time. No trail names. No trail heads. No mileage. No plan. It's the good life.

Gullfoss, Iceland. Getting stuck on the tarmac for 4 hours and having a flight cancelled and crossing my fingers to get home tonight has me dreaming of the Golden Circle of yesterday versus the reality of the going in circles of today.

Reykjavík, Iceland. Away we go into our final 24 hours of this epic northern European tour. Country #59, starting with this iconic cathedral inspired by a cathedral we just saw in Copenhagen. Witnessing the global migration of thought, art, culture, etc -- it's one of the best parts of traveling!

Vilnius, Lithuania. I am so glad that this is my 55th country to visit. A nomadic life has continuously reinforced my commitment to cosmopolitanism, but it's also given me the life experience to recognize a true gem when I see one. Best kept European secret. This one's going to be hard to leave.

Helsinki, Finland. The Oddi Library is the best (and busiest) library I've experienced anywhere in the world. Music studio rooms and instruments? Sewing machines and supplies? 3D printers? Cafe? And books books books. Amazing architecture and design. Cheers, Finland, my country #52!
