The new DuckAbroad Android app is looking good. Still testing but hoping to push it to the Google Play store next week.

Started working on the DuckAbroad Android app. Hoping to have it available in a few weeks. #travel

Submitted an update this morning to the App Store for the DuckAbroad app. It will improve the apps initial load times to speed up journaling. Should be approved in the next 24 hours.

After many weeks of development, I'm almost ready to launch the new Hidden History Hunt feature to DuckAbroad. Families will travel to 5 destinations, solving puzzles and trivia questions along the way. Each unlocking a new destination until you complete the quest and earn a new badge. Sneak Peek

In America, we once stood on the shoulders of giants... Waterhouse, Salk, Sabin, Kendrick & Eldering as they saved countless lives. Now, we throw away centuries of research for gossip, conspiracies & fears. Once again, proving that humans will listen to history in school and but never learn it.

It wasn’t a great week for sunrises in Myrtle Beach but today was a nice start.

High tide in Murrells Inlet tonight made it a little tougher to do the Marsh Walk.

Despite Hurricane Erin disrupting the surf, it’s still a beautiful day in Myrtle Beach.

NEW TODAY!! Who is ready to learn about early #Muslim #Arab conquest via Tunisia’s first capital and one of the best preserved fortresses? It’s cool history we don’t study much of in the US. Check it out! #TravelAddicts #Tunisia #TravelBloggersCommunity theroyaltourblog.com/2025/07/23/k...

A1: We did a day trip to Delphi that last time we were in Athens. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

Don’t forget to join our last #TravelAddictsHistory chat before the summer break! On Thursday @theroyaltour.bsky.social @velvetescape.com @cwills.bsky.social and I will take on myths & legends! Don’t miss it 🐉🧌🧙

A6, It would have to be land. I’m not great on boats and I’m sure it was even worst in ancient times. The cargo would have to do with spreading ideas. It would be books, scrolls, and manuscripts. Ways that can make humanity flourish. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A4. Globalization. We treat this as a relatively new concept but it’s been going on for thousands of years. The countries that have expanded the most, (through culture, technology, arts, science, education), embrace globalization. Close off and be left behind. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A2. Venice is one of the few that I’ve been to. Certainly a city that everyone should visit at least once. I loved the its uniqueness and culture but it’s become so touristy and has so few native residents that it’s certainly lost a good portion of its charm. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A1 Hi! I’m Chris from DuckAbroad. It’s probably on most people’s list but it’s the Silk Road. Most of this part of the world is foreign to me...so much history, I could probably spend a year exploring it. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

Starting in 10 minutes! Join us for the #TravelAddictsHistory chat. The theme today is Ancient Trade Routes and Towns. Hope to see you there!

TOMORROW!!! Join @velvetescape.com, @kasiawrites.bsky.social, @cwills.bsky.social, and me as we discuss ancient trade routes and how to experience them today. The fun begins at 11am Pacific. I hope to see you there! #TravelAddicts #TravelBloggersCommunity

Yesterday being the anniversary of #DDay, I was remembering our trip to Normandy a couple years ago. These photos are from Pointe du Hoc. Army Rangers climbed these cliffs to take out a German position. The area was heavily bombed and can still be seen today. #WWII #Normandy #France

On D-Day, paratroopers fell from the sky into Sainte-Mère-Église. One got caught on the church steeple and played dead to survive. Today, the mannequin still hangs from the church.voice and #DDay #Normandy #WWII duckabroad.substack.com/p/dangling-b...

Today, this looks like any other beach but, 81 years ago, Omaha Beach was a massacre. U.S. forces suffered over 2,400 casualties. These brave soldiers that rushed the beach eventually pushed back the German defenses and by late afternoon, began moving inland. #WWII #DDay #Normandy

81 years ago today, so many brave soldiers gave their lives to free Europe. #WWII #DDay #Normandy

Thanks to @tangenghui.bsky.social and @velvetescape.com I've been able to add 2 new museums and a new destination to our WWII Pacific Theater collection in the DuckAbroad app. app.duckabroad.com/collection/w...

Based on yesterday's WWII history chat, I'm putting a list together of places to visit in the Pacific Theater. If you have recommendations let me know. I only have a few so far. #traveladdicts #traveladdictshistory #ww2 app.duckabroad.com/collection/w...

A6: My experience visiting cities in Italy is that they could do more. The Jewish ghetto in Rome was interesting to visit but I think for the most part, Italy wants to leave this part of its history in the past. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

We visited the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. I highly recommend it. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A3 We visited the Ardennes forest outside of Bastogne which played a central role in the Battle of the Bulge. You could still see the foxholes and as you walked the trails, signs showed just how close friend and foes were to each other. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A3 Standing on Omaha and Utah beaches seemed surreal. It was so peaceful, people walking and enjoying their day. Yet, so many lost their lives in these areas fighting for the freedom we were now enjoying. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A2: We did a WWII tour from Normandy to Bastogne. It’s one of the best trips we’ve done. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A1: The scale and technology interest me most. WWII pushed the world in the jet, nuclear, and space ages but during the war, technology was still fairly primitive. It was a race to see who could advance the fastest and how that could transform the battlefield. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

I'm really looking forward to this week's WWII history chat. It's one of my favorite topics!! Join us in 15 minutes to share your stories. #traveladdicts #traveladdictshistory

TOMORROW!!! You don’t want to miss this awesome chat about World War Two. Join me, @velvetescape.com, @kasiawrites.bsky.social, and @cwills.bsky.social at 11am Pacific. #TravelAddicts #TravelBloggersCommunity

Can you believe it’s almost time for the next Travel and History chat? Join me, @cwills.bsky.social, @kasiawrites.bsky.social, and @velvetescape.com as I lead an hour of topics around WW2! It’ll be fun, so I hope to see you there. Thursday, 11am Pacific. #TravelAddicts #TravelBloggersCommunity

Happy Memorial Day weekend to all those in the U.S. It's time to officially kick off the summer. For those who are traveling, I put all of my travel journaling tips together to reference in one post. #traveljournal #traveladdicts ✈️🗺️ duckabroad.substack.com/p/20-family-...

Yoho National Park is home to the Burgess Shale, one of the most significant fossil beds in the world. These 500-million-year-old fossils offer a rare glimpse into early marine life. Yoho National Park is now included in the DuckAbroad app. apps.apple.com/us/app/ducka... #travel #nationalpark

Following the Sacred Way through Delphi to the Temple of Apollo. I put together a photo journey of this historic site you won’t want to miss. #greece #delphi #traveladdicts ✈️🗺️ duckabroad.substack.com/p/a-photo-to...

That concludes today's chat! Keep the conversation going and join us May 29th for a chat hosted by @theroyaltour.bsky.social with me, @velvetescape.com, and @kasiawrites.bsky.social as we discuss World War II! Can't wait to see your photos, posts and stories. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

A6: Living in Massachusetts, it’s visiting Minute Man National Historical Park. Here, the famous “shot heard ‘round the world” was fired along with historic moments that set off the American Revolution. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts #parkchat

Q6: Which historical event or cultural story linked to a national or regional park do you find fascinating? #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts #parkchat

A5: Living in the US, I associate National Parks with John Muir. It was his inspiration for preserving nature and his influence that helped create the first national park and the many more that followed worldwide. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts #parkchat

Q:5 Many parks owe their existence to kings, presidents, or political leaders. Which historical figure do you most associate with a park or the preservation movement? #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts #parkchat

What I love about these history chats is how many new places I find that I need to visit. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

Q4: Have you seen castles, villas, gardens, or hunting lodges inside a national or regional park? What did you find most surprising? #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts #parkchat

Q3: Some parks were once royal estates or noble lands. Have you explored a park with a royal or aristocratic past? #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts #parkchat

A2: I remember visiting Mesa Verde when I was a teenager. My parents took us on a trip around Colorado and it was my favorite stop. Climbing through the cliff dwellings still sticks with me decades later. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

Q2: Have you visited a national park with ruins, ancient sites, or historic settlements inside it? #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts #parkchat

Q1: Do you know the story behind the first national park in your country? Was it created for conservation, tourism, politics or something else? #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

It's time for this week's Travel and History chat on historic parks around the world. #TravelAddictsHistory #TravelAddicts

Tomorrow, join us for our Travel and History chat about National Parks! You won’t want to miss this! Join @velvetescape.com, @kasiawrites.bsky.social , @theroyaltour.bsky.social, and me. 11am Pacific, 8pm CET #TravelAddicts #TravelBloggersCommunity #TravelAddictsHistory #ParkChat

Family Journal Tip: Write one sentence per person, per day. Let each family member write down their highlight. A single sentence is enough to add a new perspective to your trip. #travel #traveljournal #familytravel
