Welcome to Passport Pilgrimage–our very own travel blog!

Our journey began with a simple desire to explore and discover the hidden gems of this magnificent planet, and now we invite you to join us on this exhilarating ride.
Who are we?
Our names are Maddie and Cullen, and we have been travelling together since we started dating in 2020, mostly in North America with the occasional trips to Europe and Central America. We both held corporate jobs that let us work remotely, which allowed us to do a lot of traveling in the United States while still working full-time. However, each time we left the US, we were always amazed by the different cultural and natural beauty—and we wanted more than just the few weeks of vacation time to explore abroad. So in June of 2023 we quit our jobs all together and booked a one-way ticket to Eastern Europe. We are also going to Spain, France, Turkey, and Southeast Asia within the next six months.
Our travels have taken us to breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures, and awe-inspiring destinations across continents. From the bustling streets of Istanbul to the serene Balkan beaches, from the snow-capped peaks of the Alps to the rich beauty of the Costa Rican rainforests, we have traversed the globe, seeking out extraordinary experiences and unforgettable encounters.
