This week: a new Olympic sport 🎿

January 28, 2026

Watch your step! A new sport has entered the Olympic Games chat. Ski Mountaineering will be making its debut in the 2026 Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Italy. Participants will first climb stairs in their boots before racing down the slopes to the finish line in what promises to be a fast-paced event. Thankfully, we are not participating, as it would then be promised as a slow-paced, spill-event.

THANK YOU, INDIA!

From all the opulent palaces to touring one of the seven (new) wonders of the world, our time in India was incredible! Special thanks to our friends at Skyscanner for an unbelievable journey and to YOU for all your suggestions - you made this journey more amazing than you know. As a thank you, we did bring you all back samosas… but they were immediately eaten upon arrival. 😅 Stay tuned for more stories, an entire Adventure guide, and so much amazing content coming soon.

In Case You Missed It

Can you believe we’re already almost through the first month of the new year? Neither can we. As excited as we are for the adventures 2026 may bring, somehow last year still feels like the current one. Any recommendations on where we should go next? To help, we’ve pulled together a few of our favorite trip stories from last year… it was last year, right?

IN-SPIRE-ING ARCHITECTURE

Hidden elephants, daily bell concerts, and a spiral staircase that dares you to climb it? Copenhagen’s Church of Our Savior has it all. Add a dramatic legend, and suddenly this church is doing way more than ringing bells…

LIGHTS, DIALS, AND RUNAWAY PIGS

This Art Deco control room once powered Buckingham Palace, Parliment, and more - then it became immortalized in rock history thanks to a runaway swine.

SUPER SNACKS AND STATS

Did you know the Super Bowl unofficially serves as America’s second Thanksgiving? With roughly 1.4 billion chicken wings devoured and 11.2 million pounds of potato chips munched, the “big game” has become the second-largest food day in the U.S. The result? About 1.5 million Americans call out “sick” the next morning.
