Joey and I like to travel by hammering down some fixed dates tied to events and then filling in the gaps with museums and other famous attractions. This organization provides us with structure and flexibility, without the worry of missing out on special occasions. Because of visa requirements, we realized that we only have 90 days to spend in the Schengen Zone at a time, so we need to be strategic. The good news is that the UK and many Eastern European countries remain outside of this territory. And, we have not ruled out Egypt or traveling the Silk Road.
Below you will find a list of some of the events and places that we have been dreaming about. Additionally, over the years, we have met people who have added to our list, and for that, we are grateful.
The list below is organized by Month/location/2026 date/event. While ambitious and continually growing, we intend to travel Europe for at least two years, with a few quick trips back to the US to check in on our businesses and condo in Atlanta.
Do you have an enjoyable event or place that we should visit? When is it?
Drop us a line and we will add it to our already ambitious agenda!
