*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
When people think of Zanzibar – a small island off the East Coast of Africa, they often think of honeymooners, five star resorts and a big hole in their wallets. What a lot of people don’t know, however, is that Zanzibar is an Island open to travellers on any budget – even the shoestring backpackers’… Continue reading 10 Things To Do in Zanzibar on a Backpacker’s Budget
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
With a bowl of Captain Crunch in my lap and Darkwing Duck on the TV, this Saturday morning began like any other in the early 90s. I was so involved with my weekend ritual that I didn’t hear the phone ring. Fortunately, I did hear my Mom yelling that the phone call was for me.… Continue reading The Secret Level of Nostalgia: The Computer Game Museum in Berlin, Germany
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
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
