The weeks fly by so quickly when I see the progress on our 365 Days Project. I can't believe that we're already in the 80s. This past week was spent in Livingston, Guatemala, into San Ignacio, Belize, and into Chetumal and Tulum, Mexico. I can't remember the last time we have moved so quickly! I'm… Continue reading Week In Review – 365 Days Project: 83-89
I can't believe we spent almost 3 weeks in Rio Dulce. Besides dogsitting and boatsitting, I can't quite put my finger on what exactly we did. I had just suffered an incredible blow to my self esteem in the internet world and had been slowly nursing my mental health back up after being at one… Continue reading Photo Friday: Instagram Dreams of Rio Dulce, Guatemala
“Have you been to the hot springs yet?” “Have you checked out Finca Paraiso?” “You must go to our hot springs! It is the best thing to do around here!” We were bombarded with “demands” to head out to the hot springs waterfall by the locals, expats, and old salts we found ourselves drinking beer… Continue reading Hot Springs Waterfall at Finca Paraiso
We received many questions about exactly what we were doing in Rio Dulce, Guatemala on a boat. Through a very serendipitous affair via friends in Austin, we were introduced to the trio at So Many Beaches - L, D & K (the dog). We were asked if we were interested in boatsitting and dogsitting for… Continue reading I’m On A Boat (Sitting Gig)!
It was nice to be unplugged this past week. It really forced me to slow down and realize how much social media was consuming my life during my travels. I was determined to keep up with our 365 days project though. In case you missed some of our pictures from last week, here is our… Continue reading Weekly Round Up – 365 Days Project: 76-82
*clickety clack* *clickety clack* Her fingers moved like lightning at 4am. Our airline lady pressed enter and rolled her eyes as she very un-enthusiastically looked up at us. “Are you aware of the delay on the flight?" “Umm... no. We just got here.” “Due to bad weather in Arizona, you will miss your connection in… Continue reading I’m in Miami, Beach!
We've come a long way, baby! After celebrating our 2 year "on the road" anniversary, it is really amazing to see how much we have grown. Experiences, mistakes, and general blunders have given us an invaluable database of knowledge - especially when it comes to packing. Our most recent trip has us spending a month… Continue reading Our Essential Beach Packing List
Flying from Berlin to Austin this past March was probably one of the worst (if not THE worst) travel day that has befallen us. Now, on a normal, regular priced ticket, I’m sure this flight shouldn’t have taken more than 15 hours to get from point A to point B. My cheapskate self put us… Continue reading Worst Travel Day EVER
Yes, yes, I know I fail when it came to keeping up with the Weekly Round Up of our 365 Days Project but here we are! This past week we have been boatsitting/dogsitting in Rio Dulce, Guatemala, trying to take it easy after a crazy time in Berlin. But seriously, I never EVER suggest going… Continue reading Weekly Round Up – 365 Days Project: 64-70
Our time in Berlin went so quickly! Even though we were there during one of the darkest and coldest winters on record, I still fell madly in love with it. I can only imagine what summer would do to me - put me into a full blown Berlin trance? We recently invested in the newest… Continue reading Momentos: Berlin
“I know! Let’s go hike through the snow, up a mountain, to an abandoned spy building to see some graffiti!” I think I started turning a bit nutty while in Berlin. Who was this person and what did they do with warm weather Erica? Was I really willing to go through an impending snowstorm to… Continue reading Teufelsberg: A Graffiti Paradise at an Abandoned Spy Station
It is hard for me to justify heading out to a show on a weekend night. Coming from Austin, Texas, I thought I had heard it all. I had become incredibly jaded, I didn’t think there was anything new out there for me, and I felt dated in a sea of young twenty somethings when… Continue reading Diving For Sunken Treasure – Gypsy Punk in Berlin
While we are here in Guatemala, soaking in the sun, I know many of you guys are looking for a winter reprieve from the crazy snow that has somehow lasted this long. Here is a bit of sunshine to brighten up your day by Tammy of Tammy and Chris On the Move. “You need me… Continue reading Discovering Cambodia’s Deserted Beaches
Phallic. Fun. Fein. The Currywurst Museum. Nothing says a good time like a good ol’ sausage couch. I’m not sure exactly what we were thinking but it definitely wasn’t this. Currywurst is a cultural staple in Germany. With humble beginnings in Berlin, Herta Heuwer was able to attain curry, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce from British… Continue reading Phallic. Fun. Fein. The Currywurst Museum.
One of the reasons that I fell in love with Berlin so hard is that, when you wander, you can find views and surprises that will take your breath away. As we meandered around the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg area and the East Side Gallery, we found ourselves peeking at some really awesome scenery. The first is Shaun's… Continue reading Photo Friday: An HDR Peek into Berlin, Germany
