Spunky Travelers

Adventure couple inspiring fun & sharing European travels

Home: Welcome

ABOUT

Being a Spunky Traveler means having fun and living large. It’s about being fiercely determined and doing things that scare you. This blog is for the expat, the traveling couple, the first-time traveler to Europe, or the dog-loving, outdoor enthusiast who seeks exciting adventures and incredible memories.

We believe in hiking, taking the dog along, letting spontaneity decide, and enjoying the lives we’ve been given while we call the day, today.
