Life is too short to stay in one place!
After a year of travel, we almost forgot what it was like to settle down. So when we made the decision to stay put for six months as we worked on our creative projects and business (and you so kindly gave us our destination as Chiang Mai, Thailand), we weren’t quite sure what to do [...]
May was rough on the budget and the figures clearly show it. We went way over budget after 7 straight months of doing so well, but of course it was to be expected when we landed in Europe. Starting in South America was a gentle way to slide into our long-term travel lifestyle and now [...]
Today I am celebrating my 40th birthday. Last year I wrote a post reflecting on my life but this year I thought I would do something a bit different and flash forward 40 years to invision what life looks like from 80. Today I turn 80 years old and looking back I realize I have [...]
Due to the location here we do not always have Internet access, but we do always have our camera ready to capture our experiences. As you all most likely know there is no way to really convey the amazing scenes that are behind each photo. However, here are a few pics from our first couple [...]
We went on this trip for the experiences, ALL the experiences. We have shared some of our adventures on the blog but only a fraction of what we do ever makes it into prose. The truth is that we are not always out on the go hiking to a glacier or running around town trying [...]

“High Andean jungle” – those 3 words were enough to make my heart beat a little faster and begin a series of images flowing through my head. It was the offer to guide us into the jungle for an overnight stay from the owners of Magic Stone in Baños that also caused us to extend [...]
WOW, what an amazing second month on our trip. We finally left the protective bubble of our friends’ home in Otavalo and started exploring more of Ecuador. As we have mentioned, we are focused on slower travel and spent the rest of November in Baños, Ecuador. As we expected, the expenses are creeping up this [...]
One of our favorite things about this trip is learning to adjust to the unexpected. Notice I didn’t say “manage” or “deal with” the unexpected, because often there is really nothing to do but sway and move with it. We came to Baños as a Plan B after learning of severe flooding in Colombia, and [...]
Yes, we are finally leaving. We started our trip here on October 1st and have spent the last 7+ weeks shedding the stress of our lives, getting used to a new life, and learning Spanish. It has been an amazing time here and we are more relaxed than we have ever been. However, we are [...]
