Lattes & Laptops
Coffee is essential in this relationship and it’s going to be essential to this blog. It’s not just our physical addiction to caffeine (although that is a big part of it), but it drives how we plan our days, where we work remotely, and how we spend our free time. Saturdays are for long runs, …
Taking the Alternative Path
Up until this point in my life, I’ve taken a fairly predictable path. Go to college. Adopt a pet. Start a career. Get married. Save for retirement. If someone had to guess which of my siblings or friends would quit their job to take a trip around the world, I would have been the last …
Putting the Run in Runway
We like to run. Well, most times we like it, but we regularly do it. We started running together in 2014. I wanted new kicks, but couldn’t justify spending the money on them if I wasn’t actually going to use them. So I told myself that if I could run 30 miles in my old …

Mondays are for The Bachelor & Machu Picchu Planning
We don’t drink often, but when we do, we book international excursions. Sometimes all you need is a dream and a little white wine. That’s how this whole trip went from an idea to a plan. We had plotted and budgeted, we made wish lists and tentative itineraries, we stockpiled credit card points and our …

Your Data-Driven Travel Blog
I was a journalism major in college. (This is related, I swear.) I loved writing, but no so much deadlines and talking to people. As a result, I tended to do better in the courses that weren’t reporting (silly, right?). One of my required courses was Graphics & Design taught by professor Eric Meyer. I …
