  • WE’RE MOVING! You’ve probably noticed that we don’t share much on @apairofpassports these days. Multiple Instagram accounts just got a bit too overwhelming and we don’t travel often enough to keep up with this one. So, in order to share more content more frequently, we’re saying goodbye to this account and will be sharing everything - travel, home, life - on @monganmoments moving forward. Thanks for being a part of this wild ride and we hope to see you over on @monganmoments! ◆ p.s. www.apairofpassports.com will still be around! We’re just consolidating Instagram accounts for now ◆ p.p.s. We actually
  • Happy Anniversary from one passport to another ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We celebrated our 3rd anniversary a bit early with a trip to Barcelona last week. Today, we’re celebrating at home with good wine, good food, and snuggles with our pup. And our return to Instagram, of course!

  • SEVILLE RUSSIA AMSTERDAM MALTA ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do these four places have in common?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, other than being beautiful and awesome, we visited all four of these places for one thing: ⚽️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We love selecting our next destination, but sometimes it's nice when someone does it for us. And that's exactly what happens when England announces where they'll be playing next! Whether heading abroad for a friendly or the World Cup, it's so fun to explore a new city while enjoying one of our hobbies at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Next up? PORTO - see you tomorrow! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's
  • L O N D O N ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We haven't "traveled" much this year. That is to say, the traveling that we HAVE done has been very uneventful - multiple ski trips that all looked the same (in the best way) and trips to visit family that consisted of less exploring and more sitting on the couch catching up. We've loved every second of it, but those aren't the experiences that tend to make the 'gram (though they should!). We've also loved spending more time in LONDON, our home. So, today, we're sharing & celebrating those experiences. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So far in
  • P O R T U G A L ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We got a sneak peek at Portugal during our trip to Seville, when we had a few hours to kill in Faro; however, we will be properly visiting Portugal for the first time next week. We'll be based in #Porto for 6 days for the England matches in the UEFA Nations League Finals - send all of your Porto recommendations our way, please! #faroportugal #visitfaro #visitportugal #super_portugal #portugaltravel #portugallovers #portugal_photos #portugal_passion #wheretofindme #mytinyatlas #portoportugal #portolovers #exploremore #theconstantlycurious #adventureanywhere #travelcouple #traveladdicted #ichosetowander #stayandwander #traveltogether #wanderfolk #seekmoments #flashesofdelight #thehappynow #ourmoments #traveltagged #travelcaptures #citybreak
  • After years of talking about it, we finally made our way to the Bermondsey Beer Mile, and @brewbynumbers is by far one of our favorite spots there. The atmosphere is fab and the beers are delicious - it makes us question what took us so long to get there. London continues to amaze us daily! We’ve been off the grid recently, so want to take a moment to point you towards some of our recent blog posts. First up: a London Bridge Food Tour, including some stops along the Bermondsey Beer Mile! Head to apairofpassports.com or click the link in
  • In honor of #ValentinesDay and #TBT, here's a shot from our very first Valentine's Day together - 5 years ago! This was pre-DSLR, pre-travel blog, and just 8 months into our relationship...it was our very first time traveling together! To think how far we've come since then... . Head over to our Instagram Stories for some more stories from our first trip together ❤️ . p.s. just realized it looks like we took this selfie in front of a watercolor painting at a museum, but it was actually taken out in the real world - that's Hohenschwangau Castle in the
