I will be the first to admit that I am an extremely lucky woman. Somehow I found a man that doesn’t mind my artsy scatterbrainedness, my inclination to make up words (see previous), and my insatiable lust for wanting to see the world.We are partners in crime. In one of my older posts I had… Continue reading Partners in Crime – The Traveling Duo
The South Bank London is probably one of my most favorite places to take pictures. Not only do you have the Thames, the London Eye, and Big Ben, but you have Charlie Chaplin on a cell phone. It wasn't hard to fall head over heels with this 24 hour city. Luckily we had our dearest… Continue reading Travel Photography: South Bank London

We've been working on ourselves and forging a path into our… Continue reading Person Success: Letting Go
We had just arrived, a little jet-lagged, rubbing our eyes in disbelief. We had just made our way across the Atlantic for the first time and on our first day in Madrid, Spain, our gracious hostess took us in and around downtown Madrid. While our day was long, we experienced a sunset over warm, Roman-esque… Continue reading Travel Photography: Things to do in Madrid – Retiro Park
Note: The following is Shaun's first blog post on Over Yonderlust. He has mainly been working on the Previous Travels pages and I'm glad he was able to contribute to the blog part of our website. 🙂 One of the hardest life lessons I've learned over the years is the old saying 'you don't know… Continue reading You Don’t Know What You Have Until It’s Gone – Grand Canyon

Wow time is flying by! We're already mid-month and I'm starting to count the weeks by my travel photography posts. This week's picture is brought to you by our visit to the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan.

If you haven't already, check out our newest page about our trip to London. Seeing as this is going to be a lengthy post, I am breaking it up into multiple parts. I don't dare describe how lovely London is in one post. 😀 London Pt. 1
The below picture was taken on the London Eye during our London trip last Feb/March (2009). I never realized what an epic view would be available for us at the top of the Ferris Wheel. Luckily it didn't rain nearly as much as it did the last time Shaun went and we were lucky to… Continue reading Travel Photography – The London Eye
When Shaun and I travel, one of the things I look forward to the most is the top meals we could have in the different countries we visit. I am the first to say that, while it is important to stay healthy on your trips, I will also be one of the first people that… Continue reading Top 4 Meals Abroad

So I've been slacking. While I really should be researching and planning stuff or our extended trip, I sit here getting giddy for Burning Man. I think mainly because our road trip starts in 82 days and we're still not exactly sure when we're leaving for Central/South America. I got so excited over our planning… Continue reading Preliminary Planning
I'm going to start posting some of my favorite pictures that I have taken abroad every week. Osaka, Japan was one of my favorite places in Japan and I couldn't help but happily snap away. The main strip, Dotonburi is amazing and full of life and colors. If you're looking for things to do in… Continue reading Things to Do in Osaka – Dotonburi

Aside from the amazing sushi, wonderful ramen, and delicious vendor foods (takoyaki, etc), the most amazing meal we have had to date was eaten in Takayama, Japan. The food in Japan has quite the variety! As self-respecting carnivores, Erica and I live for meat. After hearing… Continue reading Food in Japan – Eating Our Way Through Takayama
