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.

Courtesy of Minoa, we'll be… Continue reading Weekend Review: TripRider, the Travel Companion App
It’s cold in Montreal today. -18 to be exact, but warming up to -10. Yes, that’s Fahrenheit! So what’s a Texan like me doing in Montreal anyway? My husband Chris is a coffee taster – a coffee quality control expert. He has a golden tongue, a gift when it comes to the taste of the… Continue reading Guest Post: Baby It’s Cold Outside!
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).

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.

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.
