Travel Guide: London

By 2024, Berlin’s reputation as a cheap place for artists and students has matured into something a little more complex. For visitors, as young people and artists have moved to new parts of the city over the years, this in many ways means there are more fun areas to explore.

If there’s one thing we felt stood out about Berlin, especially as coffee people, it’s the bakery café scene. So many spots we went to for our morning cup had fresh- baked pastries coming from within the same walls. It was really special.

We’ve listed a few of our favorites, along with other recommendations pulled from a spring trip our founders Ally & Casey took (along with their toddler, Sonny).

There is so much more to Italy than could be contained in one vacation. On our most recent trip, we split our time between exploring Rome by foot and road tripping north to south along the Adriatic Sea through Puglia.

To move through these places is to be absorbed; by the history, the depth, the allure of what could be around the next corner or down the next alley. To be mesmerized by the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean as it rises and falls along jagged coastline and the ruins of people who built here before. From ancient city to ancient olive tree groves, we hope this guide gives you inspiration for your next visit to Italy.

Amsterdam has a soft spot in our hearts. Casey spent a month living here after college, and we took one of our first trips abroad here together — years before starting Canyon.

There are two big points we always share with people when talking about Amsterdam: (1) To really enjoy the city, you need to ride a bicycle. They’re very easy to rent by the day. It will all make so much more sense! (2) There is so much more to the city than the buzz around the Red Light district.The food, cafés, parks, canals, museums, and art, all nestled in a small, beautiful city, make for a beautiful destination that’s a departure from much of the rest of the world.

Our most recent trip to Amsterdam came in the spring of 2024. Our recommendations are based mostly on this trip, with some old / timeless favorites included as well.
