After an unforgettable trip, our journey home proved to be just as chaotic as the adventure itself.

Of Mice and Middle Seats: The Journey Home

From wandering Salem's charming streets and iconic filming locations to chasing forgotten history in the woods, this unforgettable day blended spooky legends, great food, local beer, and a few unexpected detours into one memorable adventure.

Between Legends and Letdowns: Salem in a Day

Our first day in Boston was spent following the Freedom Trail, walking through centuries of American history from the Boston Common to the USS Constitution. Though the day ended quietly back at the hotel, the time spent exploring, and simply spending time together as brothers, proved far more meaningful than any planned event.

Exploring Boston like it’s 1776

Every great adventure has an obstacle, and ours came before we ever left the airport. Before our Boston bachelor adventure could begin, Mother Nature and Spirit Airlines threw everything they had at us. Delays, five gate changes, and an eight-hour travel setback made us question if we would ever even get to Boston. 

The Trip That Wouldn’t Start

Our final day in Morocco began with our hotel host chasing us down and accusing us of theft, setting the tone for one last chaotic chapter. Yet as we escaped into the Atlas Mountains, the hostility of the cities faded, replaced by breathtaking views and quiet moments of reflection on a journey we would never forget.

What began as a relaxed day exploring Marrakesh quickly unraveled into empty attractions, declined cards, aggressive markets, and blowing our last cash at a unlikely place.

Our Money Vanished in Marrakesh… and Things Only Got Stranger After Dark

Lost in the twisting maze of Fes, we were scammed, stranded in a desolate wasteland of stray dogs and crumbling streets, and nearly trapped by sketchy drivers before finally escaping to the airport. What should have been a normal travel day became a relentless fight to get out of the most unsettling place we’d ever experienced.

A cheap flight and almost hardly any planning suddenly sent us on our first trip to Africa, filled with uncertainty, errors, and zero expectations.

Our final day in Spain was a blur of rushing through world famous galleries, eerie empty theaters, and one last emotional walk through Madrid under dark skies. It all ended with a perfect, almost cinematic goodbye we never saw coming.

Our Final Hours in Spain Were Unexpectedly Perfect

What started as a cold, rainy pilgrimage to Montserrat turned into a day of chaos, culture shock, and unexpected moments. 

Blessed by Montserrat, Betrayed by Barcelona

What began as an unforgettable journey through history ended with an empty stadium and a night that felt stolen.

Heartbreak in Barcelona

We traveled to Segovia and stepped straight into a fairytale, climbing a towering medieval castle with sweeping views over the city. Just hours later, we stood beneath the massive Roman aqueduct, a 2,000 year old engineering marvel that still defines Segovia today.

What started as a cheap flight to Spain quickly spiraled into missed trains, wrong turns, and costly mistake before we ever reached our first stop. Sleep deprived and completely out of our element, our adventure nearly unraveled on day one… 

Spain Wasn’t Supposed to Start Like This

A misty English castle, a surprise Renaissance festival, and one perfect pub pie… before everything collapsed into flight cancellations, airport chaos, and being stranded. What began as a storybook final day in England turned into the most exhausting ending imaginable.

From Castles to Chaos: The Journey Home

From the empire of death to a sketchy picnic on the outskirts of Paris, this day went completely off the rails in the best way possible.

The Final Day in Paris: Above and Below


Sneaking onto a high speed train, standing face to face with the Mona Lisa, and nearly getting mugged in a Paris alley… this was our chaotic first day in the world’s most iconic city. From the Eiffel Tower to Napoleon’s tomb, it felt like stepping straight into history.

Our First Glimpse of Paris, and It Was Everything


Bird attacks, a secret grotto, getting kicked out of a funeral, and accidentally discovering a forgotten French town… this day spiraled fast. What started in quiet Belgium ended with armed soldiers, a flirty waitress in Lille, and one of the most unforgettable days of the trip.

From Waffles to Wine: The Day We Crossed into France

Hidden masterpieces, medieval castles, and a vial claiming to hold the blood of Jesus… all in one chaotic day across Belgium. From Ghent’s jaw dropping altarpiece reveal to rain soaked Bruges waffles, this was the kind of day you never forget.

Getting Soaked in the Most Beautiful City in Belgium


A sleepless night, train chaos across the Netherlands, and too many Belgian beers turned our journey to Brussels into one of the most unforgettable and reckless days of the trip.
