Top Gun for Halloween 2022. A classic.

The start of our 6-month around the world travels started in Dubai! A place that we hold near to our hearts.

Second stop: INDIA! Everyone needs to see the Taj Mahal with their own eyes, its a must visit.

Stood here in awe for hours.

Then a photographer made Adam get down on one knee for a picture. and then made him kiss my hand. Our first "proposal" was in India, and our friends traveling with us still laugh about this moment.

The "world odyssey." The ship that changed our lives.

We have taken countless tuktuk rides together. The best ones were in india.

Conquered the city of Mumbai together!

Crossed the equator together! When you cross the equator on a ship, you must participate in something called Neptune Day. If you have questions, ask us on our wedding day, haha!

Amboseli National Park! We witnessed the prettiest views of Mt. Kilimanjaro here.

Giraffe Manor day!

Adam and I went to a school on Wasini Island, Kenya. It was the most life changing experience ever.

Faces of proud 19 year olds that took themselves on an African Safari. What a life.

Sat in the Indian Ocean with friends this whole afternoon drinking Black Currant Smirnoff Seltzers. The best drink ever, no question.

Iconic selfie of us on our safari jeep. We dream of coming back here.

We visited the Jordan River together, where Jesus got baptized. We cannot explain the feeling of being here together, but we felt the presence of the Lord here so strongly, it was truly incredible.

Back on the ship! Got dressed up for date night!!!

Sailed through the Suez Canal!

Stopped in Greece and hopped on a sailboat and sailed to some little islands for a day!

We have taken so many plane rides together, too many to count.

The Parthenon!

Leaving the ship... one of the saddest days ever.

Skydiving in Portugal together!

Frühlingsfest in Germany! We are both extremely German and could both seriously live in this country.

The top of the Eiffel Tower! So gorgeous!!!

Neuschwanstein Castle!

More Eiffel Tower pictures, and Maria's favorite European city.

Adam surprised Maria with a day at Disneyland Paris for her 20th birthday. Proud Disney adults.

We sat on the beach in Cinque terre, Italy drinking Strawberry daiquiris from a bucket for 5 days straight. Much needed break after being on the go for 5 months.

Ended up settling down in Italy for our last month of traveling. We both love this country so much, especially Lake Como. So magical.

We stopped for gelato every night on our walk back to whatever airbnb we were staying at. We were on a mission to find the best gelato shop in town. This turned into a game very quickly.

Wine tasting in Tuscany!

Our THIRD world wonder together, the Colosseum! This was our last stop together before heading home and we learned so much here. Soaked it all in.

Thankfully we came home and got to recover at Maria's parents beach house in Cape Coral.

Spent so much time in Florida, it solidified our dream to move there!

Many conversations about moving consisted at The Boathouse with Pina Coladas in hand.

First step was graduating from college. Before graduating, all of the Seniors rented out a boat on the St. Croix River to celebrate.

Graduation Pictures!

We had many conversations about getting engaged on our trip in Alaska. On September 21st, 2024 it finally happened! On one of our favorite beaches in Sanibel Island!

Honorable mention: Spent a day in Vancouver, Canada on our way back from Alaska.

Soaked in the last couple of months in MN before moving to Florida! Participated in as many midwest activities as possible.

Last June we moved to Florida! Stopped in Nashville halfway through our drive spontaneously.
