Up and Coming Over Yonderlusting

We have been back in the United States now for 90 days and in Austin alone for the last 80 or so.

Weekend Review: Kex Hostel in Reykjavik, Iceland

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a small obsession for anything vintage. If you looked at my wardrobe at home, it is horribly apparent (you can’t tell by my backpacker clothes). So you can imagine the delight I found when we walked into Kex Hostel. Kex, the Icelandic word for cookie/biscuit, is a… Continue reading Weekend Review: Kex Hostel in Reykjavik, Iceland

Finding Dixie in Medellin – Music in Colombia

Somehow when I think of Medellin, Colombia, I don’t think of bands playing old timey, ragtime music that I find myself attracted to when I’m in Austin, Texas. In discovering Medellin, I quickly learned that nothing is what it seems. Music in Colombia took us by surprise. One of our friends graciously invited us to… Continue reading Finding Dixie in Medellin – Music in Colombia

Couchsurfing Austin

At first I found the idea frightening. You’re telling me that you are willing to place your life in the hands of a stranger? Couchsurfing was a completely foreign concept to me until a few months ago. My boss at work (which is an avid backpacker and traveler) was talking about his upcoming trip to… Continue reading Couchsurfing Austin
