🇺🇸 Boston / Cape Cod → 🇵🇹 Lisbon & Cascais
What we love in the U.S.:
A mix of rich history, walkable coastal towns, and a dash of New England charm.

Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods, tiled trams, and artistic soul feel so familiar—and from there, it’s a quick hop to Cascais, where seaside charm and Atlantic breezes await.
🇺🇸 Nashville / Gatlinburg → 🇦🇹 Vienna & Salzburg
What we love in the U.S.:
Music, mountains, and culture—plus friendly locals and plenty of space to roam.
What we’ll love in Europe:
From Vienna’s elegant concert halls to Salzburg’s Sound of Music hills, Austria delivers both culture and countryside. Bonus: the scenic train rides through the Alps are pure magic.
🇺🇸 Miami / Florida Keys → 🇪🇸 Barcelona & Mallorca
What we love in the U.S.:
Latin flair, beachfront vibes, and a touch of the tropical.
What we’ll love in Europe:

What we love in the U.S.:
Wine tastings, golden sunsets over vineyards, and breezy, relaxed luxury.

Hot springs, geysers, wild terrain, and wide-open skies.

Iceland is Yellowstone on another planet—volcanic landscapes, thundering waterfalls, and geothermal wonders, plus the chance to spot puffins, ponies, or the Northern Lights (depending on the season).
🇺🇸 New York City → 🇬🇧 London
What we love in the U.S.:
Endless neighborhoods, 24/7 energy, and global dining at your fingertips.
What we’ll love in Europe:
London has the same buzz—with West End shows, world-class restaurants, and iconic neighborhoods like Notting Hill, Shoreditch, and Soho to wander.
🇺🇸 The Rocky Mountains → 🇨🇭Interlaken & Lucerne
What we love in the U.S.:
Big peaks, alpine air, and outdoor adventure.
