Photo by Parker Johnson on Unsplash Our midterm elections are coming up here in the United States on November 6th, and it is so important for everyone to vote even if you are living or traveling abroad. We were living in Thailand during the 2016 presidential election and you better believe I figured out how to make sure we could…
When you think of the typical California road trip you probably get visions of rolling hills along the 101 or dramatic coastline heading up highway 1. But if you are looking for a very different and unique view of California I’d suggest taking highway 395 the length of the state. Highway 395 runs along the eastern side of the Sierra…
Lake Bled is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The beautiful lush forest, turquoise lake, and towering mountains are the perfect playground for anyone who loves the outdoors. From hiking to biking to water sports there is something for every skill level. I fell in love with Lake Bled while we were there this past summer, everything about the beautiful landscape…
I turned 31 last week (wait, two weeks ago, man time really does move faster as you get older) and it got me thinking about how and where we travel at different points in our lives. In my early twenties my trips were pretty stereotypical, I backpacked through Europe, volunteered in South America, and explored Southeast Asia. That’s not to…
Travel days can be the worst, they are nowhere near the fun or beautiful instagram worthy moments of other days once your are in your destination. At best they can be tiring and a little stressful, at worst they can be totally panic attack inducing. After three years of being on the road on and off, I’ve started to figure…
As far as European cities go, Barcelona definitely has some hipster vibes going on. From it’s funky architecture to it’s delicious food (that’s open late!) and craft beer bars, you’ll be in hipster heaven. My first impression of Barcelona was that it reminded me a bit of San Francisco. Mostly in that there are a lot of young twenty–somethings around,…
Have you ever gone somewhere with no real expectations of what it would be like? Someplace you ended up while trying to get from one place to another, but then it ended up being amazing? That place for me was Slovenia. Honestly we made the stop in Slovenia as a way to take a break and some work days while…
Berlin has some of the best street art in the world. Officially dubbed the “City of Design” there is no shortage on the artsy vibes around this city, almost everywhere you look you’ll see a stencil on the sidewalk or a paper cut out plastered to a wall. Berlin has had a long history of public art and graffiti starting…
On our way home from Coachella back in April we had a quick stop over in LA, and we stayed in my favorite neighborhood, Silver Lake. Silver Lake is known as one of the more hipster neighborhoods in LA, with a plethora of coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and cutesy shops I can tell why the SoCal hipsters flock here. With…
I first visited Berlin in January of 2010, it was cold and snowing, but I sort of fell in love with the city, I dug the artsy and hip vibes of everything and everyone around. I was pretty excited to come back in the summer and to see the city that had so captured my attention on my first trip…
