We're stepping it up around here at Over Yonderlust. Today we have a spectacular photo essay guest post by the amazing Amy Moore of Everything-Everywhere. Enjoy the eye candy! While snowbirds flock to south Arizona each winter, winter in northern Arizona is considered to be the off-season. And for good reason! It can get very… Continue reading I Spy SNOW in Arizona?
I never knew I had such resilience about weather until we found ourselves eye-devouring the East Side Gallery at the Berlin Wall. The icy cold weather and snowfall couldn’t keep me away from the murals I had so desperately wanted to see for myself. I, my friends, am an art lover... apparently. 🙂 So a… Continue reading The East Side Gallery at the Berlin Wall
“Did you hear that The Hoff is confirmed to be at the East Side Gallery for the protest on Sunday?” Wait... WHAT?! It was music to my ears. I had heard time and time again that Germans had this weird fixation with David Hasselhoff and I was going to be able to experience it in… Continue reading Don’t Hassel the Hoff in Berlin

The snow crunched under my feet and I giggled as I made my way around in circles all over the freshly fallen snow. The snowflakes hung delicately in the air as Shaun and I precariously balanced ourselves on the ice as we walked towards our friends house, bottle of wine in tow. I smiled. “We… Continue reading 5 Reasons We Want to Move to Berlin
At Playa Linda, just north of the town of Ixtapa, Mexico, in the forest beside the dock, hidden away in the tangle of trees is the unexpected gem of a crocodile sanctuary. The area of Ixtapa was once home to many crocodiles. Before the government established the tourist town of Ixtapa, these ancient reptiles roamed… Continue reading Guest Post: Photo Essay – Crocodile Sanctuary in Ixtapa, Mexico
I blinked incredulously as I realized the upcoming date... “Holy crap. We’re turning three!” Somehow my blog had made it through the terrible twos and miraculously made it into our third year. I couldn’t help but smile. I bet there would be no way I would have believed you if you told me my future… Continue reading Happy Blog Birthday Over Yonderlust! THE BIG THREE
It is weird to think that Home Slice Pizza has only been in my "restaurants in Austin" repertoire for the past 8 years. With how many times I have visited them, I feel like they have been part of my Austin experience from the beginning. I’ve had birthdays, going away parties, job promotion celebrations, and… Continue reading Hometown Tourism: Home Slice Pizza
It is around this time that everyone starts suffering from winter fatigue. While I can't complain about the Austin winters, I still miss my time around the pool or even sitting under an umbrella in the Caribbean. One of the quintessential reminders of summer is seeing little kids play in water fountains. Enter the Crown… Continue reading Photo Friday: Summer in Chicago
You may be surprised to know that our bank account is quite sad. A chilly wind and a couple of tumbleweeds make their way through occasionally, but overall we are nowhere near rich (and actually, I think we’re technically at poverty level). So how do we make it work? How do we save for travel?… Continue reading 5 Great Ways to Save for Travel
Fried. That is what comes to mind when people think of the South - and with Gourdough’s Public House in Austin, Texas, they couldn’t be more right. If you’re wondering where to eat in Austin, this would be the place to go. Do you remember my finger lickin’ good review of the Gourdough’s Donuts food… Continue reading Hometown Tourism: Gourdough’s Public House
Listed as one of the top 3 cold dives to experience in the world, Silfra took our breaths away (and not just from the 2C/36F water!). Not only do you have 500 feet of clarity due to the fact you are diving in glacial water but you also get the opportunity to scuba dive between… Continue reading Video: Dive Iceland – SCUBA in Silfra
Growling, clashing, punching, knock outs, and broken bones - No, I’m not talking about MMA - I’m talking about women’s rollerderby with the Lonestar Rollergirls (TXRD). Walking into the convention center, the roars of the fans gave me a wave of nostalgia. If there is one thing that you need to do in Austin, this… Continue reading Hometown Tourism: Banked Track Rollerderby with TXRD
Just like all that candy in the grocery store checkout lane, that Shaun always seems to sneak into the basket, the temptation hit me the second I saw it. Running through downtown Austin solely clad in our skivvies in the middle of February for a good cause? Within 10 impulsive seconds we were signed up… Continue reading Running in Our Bare Essentials: The Cupid’s Undie Run
If you can’t travel, bring the travel to you. Or, that is a philosophy I like to bring to the table when we are stuck at home and working to save money. That is how I found myself at the free Moroccan food cooking class at Williams Sonoma. Sure the place was swarmed by throes… Continue reading Moroccan Food: Free Cooking Class with Williams Sonoma
