We were lucky enough this year to be able to spend most of 2014 traveling.
And in honor of the holidays and sharing our gratitude we thought we’d go through our Top 14 experiences of 2014.
Today we’ll discuss the first half of our favorite experiences including the rare experience of being cold in Bali, waterfalls that are nicknamed “The Spiderman waterfalls”, and the wonderful experience of making authentic Italian pizza.
Check back tomorrow for even crazier stories and experiences from a year that was FULL of travel!

Renting apartments while traveling can save you tons of money.
Not to mention the extra space, less touristy neighborhoods, and the possibilities of great relationships with your hosts!

Did you know that AirBnB can MAKE you money while you travel?
Many of us have homes (or would like to have homes) that we still have to pay for while we’re out on the road. The cost of that can stop any of us from being able to travel the way we want to travel.
But Charlie knows a secret.
You can rent your place out while you’re gone!
She shares her experiences renting out her New York apartment while she travels the world, the ups and downs, and how you can do the same.
We also chat about some of her best tips for saving money on travel, the Rickshaw Run, and the most serious travel mishap that we’ve heard. Yet, she still travels on.
