I am a museum nut. There. I said it. I like to spend hours looking at things with childish wonder - eyes completely open. The Natural History Museum in London did not disappoint. Not only is an activity like this budget friendly (they do not charge admission for the general exhibits), but can provide a… Continue reading Travel Photography – Natural History Museum
Once upon a time I graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in film. Yes, I have received quite a bit of flack from my choice in my educational endeavors and until now, they have been on the backburner for the past 4 years. I've decided to be a little more ambitious these… Continue reading Introducing “Over Yonder” video series with Shaun and Erica
It was July of 2008 and we walked up to our hostel in Hiroshima, Japan, sweaty, sticky, and tired. Why did we decide that coming to Japan during the summer was a good idea? Oh yeah, I guess it was the only opportunity we had to join our friend during his last month of summer… Continue reading Finding Forgiveness in Hiroshima
Welcome to the Blog4NZ series! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It wasn't long ago that we packed our bags and took off to Methven to enjoy some of its famous white powder. (Snow! What did you think I was talking about?) But things didn't turn out quite how we expected. If you plan to come to New Zealand for… Continue reading The New Zealand You Discover Riding an 8 Wheel Amphibious Vehicle
A quick disclaimer about the following photos: I took them with my crappy point and shoot because I planned on getting sloshy during SXSWi and didn't want to run the risk of ruining my good camera. Because I got tipsy, I did forget to take pictures of some of the other people that I saw… Continue reading SXSWi Picture Round Up
I think that one of the things that people forget is that New Mexico is more than just a desert. While we were driving through New Mexico during our road trip throughout the Southwest and Western United States, we had to stop and appreciate the beauty and greenery that surrounded us while we drove through… Continue reading Travel Photography – New Mexico
♫ Happy blogiversary to us! Happy blogiversary to us! ♫ It has been a year. Little did I know that what started as a hobby would consume my life. I feel so incredibly blessed to get to know you guys and to have you with us on our upcoming travels. A few things that have… Continue reading Over Yonderlust Turns 1!
Rain seems to follow Shaun and I no matter what location we visit. We were greeted with rain on our wedding day, the rainiest dry season in 20 years in Barbados, one of the rainiest winters in Madrid, and it rained on us when we were at the Grand Canyon. We had been talking about… Continue reading Travel Photography – The Grand Canyon Rain
For a country that has such a hard stance on drug possession and intent to sell, you would not believe the amount of times that Shaun and I were propositioned for a sale during our honeymoon in Barbados. Even going around a roundabout in our moke at 30mph we had people shouting at us through… Continue reading Being Set Up During Our Honeymoon in Barbados
“Bzzt! Bzzzzzzt! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt!” I came to know and love this sound at the impressionable age of 18. The sound of pain. I would even say that it was comforting on some sort of level. In college I had the opportunity to work as counter help for a local tattoo shop in Austin – much to… Continue reading Travel and Tattoos
One night we were able to experience the playa by art car, brought to you by the Tiki Fkos camp, and I was overtaken by this sight of Burning Man at night. I can't accurately describe what it was like that night. The playa was clear and we had the pleasure of being without a… Continue reading Travel Photography – Burning Man at Night
Saturday night I was driving home from an odd job of data entry when my phone rang. I had been expecting my mom to call me so I expected it to just be another call. You never really think about it when you start but how do you handle pets and travel? “Hello?” “Hey Erica,… Continue reading Pets and Travel: Your Fuzzy Children
I really did leave part of my heart in San Francisco. I had heard that it was quite a bit like Austin, and the city did not disappoint. From tap dancing performers on the streets to the sights and smells of a busy city, I could not help but fall in love with such a… Continue reading Travel Photography – San Francisco BART
While I’ve had my fair share of rants these past few weeks I thought I would delve a little deeper into a more personal matter. I am writing out my fears on my blog to make them less scary. Pardon my French but I can say without a doubt that I am scared speaking Spanish… Continue reading Speaking Spanish
So I’ve been really trying to avoid doing one of these since I feel a bit scatterbrained about preparing for our upcoming trip. I figure some people would like to know how we’re getting along with our “planning”. Incoming travel preparation status of our upcoming trip: Shaun and I are still getting rid of the… Continue reading Travel Preparation
