Step 1: Say You’re an Artist – Kingsley the Jellyfish Afterthoughts

At Flipside last year I heard some of the most amazing advice in a really long time. And the main gist was - If you want to do something, own it. If you want to be an artist, say you're an artist and do art. I didn’t realize how profound this statement was until it… Continue reading Step 1: Say You’re an Artist – Kingsley the Jellyfish Afterthoughts

Momentos: Berlin

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

Video: Dive Iceland – SCUBA in Silfra

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

Blowing Stuff Up: Our Pyrotechnics Workshop with Cloud 9 Living

*KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM* I felt shivers down my spine. No, I'm not a pyro but I've dreamed about being a pyrotechnician since the day I struck my first match and lit my first artillery shell. Now I was doing it as a class? Silly grins lit up our faces. I'm in heaven. I think we hit the… Continue reading Blowing Stuff Up: Our Pyrotechnics Workshop with Cloud 9 Living

Video: Vlog 4 – Boxed Wine in Buenos Aires

Yes. It had to be done. In the land of amazing wines we felt the need to experience the lowest of the low. *Boxed wine.* All of you have done it. Whether it be a crazy backpacker night out, or a fancy dinner where you passed off boxed as "divine" (not sure HOW but yeah,… Continue reading Video: Vlog 4 – Boxed Wine in Buenos Aires

Video: Puppeteer Performance in San Telmo, Buenos Aires

Street performers in Buenos Aires are almost synonymous with Argentine culture. From flamboyant tango dancers at the Sunday Market, to artists, musicians and puppeteers of all kinds, walking around the city becomes an act of art watching. Our favorite performances have to include the following street artist/puppeteer that was performing in San Telmo, Buenos Aires.… Continue reading Video: Puppeteer Performance in San Telmo, Buenos Aires

Episode 20 – Death Road in Bolivia

Easily one of my favorite adventures, the World's Most Dangerous Road (or Death Road) in La Paz rocked our face off! What we didn't realize was that we started in the snowy peaks of the surrounding mountains and end in the warm and rainy rainforests 30-40 miles away. This experience single-handedly got me addicted to… Continue reading Episode 20 – Death Road in Bolivia

Into the Unknown: The Bolivian Amazon

Besides Machu Picchu, the Amazon has held my heart and my imagination for I can't even tell you how long. Since I was a kid I would dream about the mysteries and unknowns that can be found in this mystical, undiscovered place. You really don't know what to expect. So little can be found in… Continue reading Into the Unknown: The Bolivian Amazon

Episode 19 – Puenting: Banos, Ecuador

I did the one thing I said I would NEVER do. I guess when my mother asked me, "If your friend jumped off a bridge, would you?" didn't properly sink in as a child - because I went puenting. I, Erica, who is deathly afraid of heights, jumped off a bridge in Banos, Ecuador. And… Continue reading Episode 19 – Puenting: Banos, Ecuador

Episode 18 – Waterfall Tour – Biking in Ecuador

We have been in a video frenzy lately due to our travels and adventures in Banos, Ecuador. To be honest, I don't think pictures would have accurately captured our experiences. One of the must do/must see things in Banos is to go on a 60km downhill bike ride that happens to give you the opportunity… Continue reading Episode 18 – Waterfall Tour – Biking in Ecuador

Episode 17 – White Water Adventure in Banos, Ecuador

Another thing conquered in my Adventure Girl series - we freaking ROCKED at white water rafting in Ecuador. I wasn't scared for a moment (adrenaline talking?) and had complete faith that our team would do our best. The water was intense, bumpy and kept splashing in my face but I had a grin plastered to… Continue reading Episode 17 – White Water Adventure in Banos, Ecuador

Episode 16 – Momentos: Colombia Video

We're making this week a video week (we're making up for lost time due to our stolen camera). We finally left Colombia after spending 6 glorious weeks there (and had only intended on 2). Since we got our replacement camera in Bogota, we are missing quite a bit of our adventures in Colombia but I… Continue reading Episode 16 – Momentos: Colombia Video
