The past two months have most definitely been a whirlwind, and I mean that in the best sense possible. From truck stops to rest areas to residential streets and everything in between, we never would have imagined we would have ended up here. However, this experience is a perfect example of the magical things that can happen when you will something into the universe. Getting the Most Out of Car Camping It’s crazy to think that just three weeks ago we were pulling up to
It seems everyone has a blog these days. There are blogs about everything. Blogs about food, blogs about cats, blogs about food for cats, and even cats with blogs. There are even blogs about blogs! Now, that’s when you know you’ve seen everything. So Why This Blog? And What is It? Sure, we talk about travel, but is this just a travel blog? Well, we sure hope not. This page isn’t just to show the places we’ve been, share some travel tips and post some cool
After only a few days of living with llamas, we already felt motivated to spread the word for this underrated and misunderstood animal. Sure, most people know they’re cute and quirky. But did you know they make the best pet? Move Over Duke, There’s a New Best Friend in Town While in Portland, we were able to find a great and affordable deal at an Airbnb for a couple of days. We always love and look forward to returning home (our car), but on some rare
I am merely a pebble. Nothing more. Nothing less. I once was a rock Full of edges, sides and corners Capable of doing damage with only little direction or force I was heavy, full of weight planted firmly into the carpet of beige sand below me I was a rock Too hard to break Too tough to touch I was alone The water surged over me faster than I could realize Suddenly, I was enveloped by billions of deep blue particles The pressure was too much,
The experiences and memories that can be created from being out in nature are incomparable to anything else. Even now as we continue on this journey, it brings me back to the trips I would take with my parents over twenty years ago. Before the travels around the world and the birth of my other deep-rooted passion of learning and connecting with different cultures, nature was my first love. Childhood Memories Are Unlike Anything Else My fond recollections of running through a field of dry, crinkled
For less than the price of a dinner and a movie for two you could have a year-long opportunity of endless adventure at your fingertips. Access to the Best Artist of All Time For less than a picture of Benjamin Franklin you could have near full-access 365 days a year, 24-hours a day (most national parks), to all of the magical and magnificent landscapes drawn by the most talented artist of all. If you’ve never experienced one of the National Parks then it’s definitely something that
We belong everywhere and nowhere at the same time. We’re not meant to be kept in one place. Our beautiful apartment which we once loved started feeling like a beautiful cage that traps us in one location. The more we started questioning everything and allowing our thoughts go past the point we would normally let them, we were able to realize how simple the decision was. We don’t want to get an apartment or find one particular place to live just because everyone thinks that’s what
If you had asked us six months ago where we saw ourselves in the next few years, our answer would have been completely opposite from today. We would’ve told you about a big house somewhere- preferably four to five bedrooms, three plus bathrooms, huge kitchen, the works. A small dose of societal pressure mixed with a heavy dose of familial pressure made us certain that our two-year plan included a house followed by a baby, pronto. Then, All of a Sudden… It All Changed The idea of a comfortable and consistent
Our families always joke that every time we take a road trip, we end up coming home with some new, wild and crazy idea. Well, after two road trips and two very crazy ideas, it’s safe to say there might be a lot of truth to that. The Honeymoon That Changed Everything In May, Boris and I had just come home from a five-week belated honeymoon. At the time, we were living in a small town less than half an hour outside of Savannah, Georgia. Our honeymoon
Just over a year ago, Boris and I thought we had made the biggest and boldest decision of our lives. We told our families that we were moving to Savannah, Georgia–a place where we had spent a total of two days. This is Where the Shock Comes In Why Georgia out of all places? Well, that’s exactly what our family wanted to know. No one could figure out what we were doing and why. We were leaving our families, friends, secure jobs, and comforts of
