Month 1: In Review (Travel Stats)

zadar travel from air

Well, it’s official! We made it through our first month as a nomadic traveling couple on the road (and we still enjoy each other’s company!). It took a minute to get into the groove of life out of a backpack. Packing all your belongings up every 2-4 days and walking (sometimes miles) with them strapped […]

France: Welcome to Paris!

Paris

It is dusk and Josh and I sit down in an open green space of the Champ de Mars park on our spare rain jackets that have become our temporary picnic blanket.  We get out a 6 Euro bottle of delicious red Bordeaux wine and set it between us. Taking a pull right from the […]

Croatia: The Islands

Hvar Island

Getting There Transit throughout Croatia is not the quickest.  There aren’t trains connecting the large cities yet, and while the Dalmatian coast is spotted with large islands, the ferries only go certain days a week to specific islands.  Even once you make it onto an island you need to time out your travel in advance […]

Italy: Rome

Rome

Ahh Rome, The Eternal City! It was good to be back!  Josh and I had both been to Rome before when we backpacked with our friends years back, but never together.  For me, Rome was one of the first spots I travelled post study abroad in college, and I had fallen in love with it […]

Packing for a year long trip may seem like a daunting task when you first think about it.  Trying to fit your whole life into a small bag, and having everything you need for the whole year? A little overwhelming.  But thanks to other travel bloggers out there we were able to find a lot […]

RoadtripCAtoMI

Well, we made it from California all the way back to Michigan successfully! Josh and I packed up all our remaining items on Friday the 8th, and said goodbye to the south bay as our home.  That was also our last day at work so we rushed home to spotlessly cleanup the condo and get ready to […]

Moving Day

T-Minus 3 days until we depart from the beloved land of California! Before we know it we will be off to the races on our roadtrip back to Michigan. We will see our friends and family one last time, then head to London on a one way ticket. It is really hard to believe that […]

Aerial View of Sydney

Now its real. People know we are going, and what a relief that is!! It feels so great to finally be able to openly talk about the trip. Josh and I have been planning this trip solely within the confines of our apartment and our google shared ‘world travel’ drive for the last 7-8 months. Keeping all […]
