1 day in Solvang, California, commonly referred to as the Danish Capital of America! Such a charming town filled with history and traditions. Solvang was founded in 1911 by three Danish immigrants who purchased the land and named it "Solvang" which means "sunny fields" in Danish. This of course attracted other Danish immigrants, and so the town began with lots of European influence. Solvang is to this day a special little town to Denmark and has been visited by Danish royalty several times! We start of the day at Solvang Restaurant eating their famous æbleskiver, a spherical pancake dish that dates back to the vikings! Then it is time to take on the town, a walking tour, exploring the shops, and eating way too much food in this quaint little taste of Europe in the heart of California. Olsen's Bakery, Solvang Bakery, and Bit o' Denmark were delicious! We got a kringle, petit four, and mocha waffle aat Olsen's bakery, and they were so good we went back at the end of the day to buy ourselves some sweets to take home! Bit o' Denmark we tried a Danish Red Lager from Figuroa Brewing Company, herring three ways, and wiener schnitzel. We finished the day at the Santa Ines mission. We highly recommend a day trip to this quaint town just a little north of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara!

Welcome to madventure, we're MADison and iVEN (okay it is spelled Ivan, but pronounced like VENture) a husband and wife living the adventure we have been dreaming of, despite the fact that it makes us sound completely mad. For us that looks like traveling full time and starting our own businesses.

For Madison, a former reality TV producer, the dream is the madventure community, connecting people through travel, experiencing new cultures, and trying the best foods from carts, stands and restaurants all over the world. She hopes to encourage others to follow their maddest most adventurous dreams, whatever they may be!

For Ivan, a former NASA engineer, it is creating an engineering product that will change the world!

Travel and food are two of our biggest passions, so on this channel we will be traveling the world, and staying awhile to experience what life is actually like living other places. We're excited to have you on board for the delicious, culture filled, madventurous times that will ensue! Let's madventure! xoxo
