Visit Greece: Ancient Philippi

Located just 2 hours from Thessaloniki, the ancient city of Philippi is at the same time easy to get to and off the beaten track. Amidst these ancient ruins, you can imagine the Roman legions facing off in the Battle of Philippi or the Apostle Paul walking the city streets.

Visit Malawi: Mumbo Island

Mumbo Island was the perfect escape for a father-son weekend with my oldest son. At Mumbo Island, we were able to unplug and unwind in one of the most beautiful spots in all of Malawi.
