I love traveling with my husband! We've been on Nerdventures in 4 of 7 continents so far. We've explored archeology in Turkey, wildlife in New Zealand and Australia, movie locations and culture in Iceland, and we're not stopping anytime soon!

A picture with "Melvin's Nerdventures" at the top. Below that is: "I love traveling with my husband! We've been on Nerdventures in 4 of the 7 continents so far, and we're not stopping anytime soon!" At the bottom is a cartoon of Melvin, the Guinea pig mascot, holding a suitcase. The front of the library of Celsus in the dead city of Ephesus. There are massive two-story columns on the facade and there are cypress trees in the background. A koala in a tree at the Taronga zoo in Australia. It's only a few feet away from the camera. Thingvellir in Iceland. This is where the Vikings held clan meetings and is situated on the divide between the North American and European tectonic plates.

You don't have to be a "nerd" to love Nerdventures! Whatever you're passionate about can be your Nerdventure. Want to travel to New York for the Thanksgiving parade? How about New England and Anne of Green Gables? Or learn about the Parthenon in Greece!

A picture with Melvin's Nerdventures. The text says: You don't have to be a "nerd" to love Nerdventures! Whatever you're passionate about can be your Nerdventure. cartoons of Melvin the Guinea Pig are dressed up as the Doctor, A Star Trek Officer, and a Wizard. A picture from ground level on the street of the new Bluey float in the New York Thanksgiving Parade. Four people wearing Anne of Green Gables pigtail wigs. Two are in period dresses. They are in front of the Anne of Green Gables visitor center. A picture of the Parthenon in Greece in early morning. There is scaffolding on the front, and the sun peeks under the top of the building, visible through the columns.
