The title of this post is pretty clear about what is going on for me, Lisa. Also, if you’ve been following our Instagram, you know I am in Thailand and Will is still in the States. So what exactly are we doing? Are we separated? Getting divorced? No. Not at all. As the primary instigator…

Athens & Beyond
After our time in Rome, we visited Greece for an entire week. We were very much looking forward to Greek food & a little bit more of a relaxing time. And although our relaxing did not go as planned in Athens- an apartment stay gone awry- we had a great time eating and seeing ancient…
Rome is Humid
One of our stops on our big European vacation was Rome. We had never been to Italy and we were really looking forward to amazing pasta and some pretty historic sites. But there were two unexpected things we found in Rome. The first one was how friendly everyone was. It’s not that we expected rudeness…
Paris on a Budget
Paris is one of our favorite cities. In fact, every time we visit Europe, we seem (or at least I seem) to plan a stop in the City of Light. Between boulangeries, picnics along the Seine, patisseries, and hanging out in the city’s numerous beautiful parks, what’s not love? This year was no different. After…
Finishing the Raad Ny Foillan
Where are my hiking people at? If you’re an avid hiker, explaining how satisfying it is to finish a multi-day hike is probably unnecessary. But if you’ve never gone on a multi-day hiking or walking trip, maybe you wonder if it’s worth it. Why would anyone want to just walk along a trail for 3,…
Bageri & Burgers in Copenhagen
Our next stop on our European trip was a long layover in Copenhagen. We booked a room at the Marriott Moxy with points and planned nothing except food. I knew I wanted to go to Hart Bageri and try the cardamom croissants and Will and I watched the Copenhagen episode of Somebody Feed Phil before…
Our European Travels Begin
Hello from Europe! We’ve left the U.S. for our big European adventure, in fact, we just finished our big hike. But let me get you caught up first. On May 9th we left Sea-Tac to fly to Reykjavik. We had a big journey ahead of us as our free (using miles) flights had gone from…
Preparing for a Long Journey
I know it’s been a minute since we updated the blog. Winter got to us both. Winter in the Pacific Northwest is definitely a challenge: shorter days, darker days, colder days. But spring is here and we are 5 weeks away from our next adventure. We are going on a 35-day, 7-country trip to Europe….
Our Next Adventure
by Lisa After a bit of van travel after the Camino, we’ve settled here in Northwest Washington for the fall and winter. So far, September has been beautiful up here. Over the last two winters, I’ve talked a lot to anyone who will listen about how difficult the winters are in Washington for someone from…
We Walked Across Spain on the Camino de Santiago
We did it! I know this post is seriously delayed. But I am coming back to the blog to revisit our experience. On May 15 we made our way into Santiago. And despite being an exciting moment, the walk that day was hard. It started out pleasant and we had a lovely coffee at a…
