Adventure, danger, hilarity, consuming internal organs- this isn't just any old Food Truck Friday post. So grab a bowl of popcorn and preemptively sit on the edge of your seat, because this post has it all (also, it has food). "I'm heading out. You're on your own tonight." Those were the last words Erica said… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Llama’s Peruvian Creole
Have you ever had a travel experience that has haunted you for years after? Our first backpacking trip abroad was to Japan and I still find it filling my dreams at night and constantly on my mind.

I can’t believe that it has already been three months since we got back from Mexico. While I am loving having a home base here in Austin, Texas, my itchy feet are still very alive. In short, I’m getting a bad case of “GET ME OUTTA HERE!” - even if it is just for a… Continue reading Up and Coming Travel: Get Me Outta Here!
I am addicted to kimchi. The spicy, smelly, gassy-all-to-hell fermented cabbage really does it for me - I’m sure much to Shaun’s dismay. You can imagine what a happy girl I was to find out that the guys over at Chi’Lantro combined two of my favorite loves in the world - Tacos and Korean BBQ.… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Chi’Lantro
Do you ever find a new place and are glad you discovered it in its hidden gem stage?

I’m convinced I live in the greatest place in the USA. I’m not talking about my highly annoying “Yeah, I’m from Texas and it rocks face!” attitude (GO TEXAS!), I’m talking about the fact that Austin, Texas is at a culinary crossroads.

Miss “I have to have Shaun assist me when attempting to do one pull up”? Well, sure. Why the hell… Continue reading Attempting the Aerial Silks with Sky Candy Austin
Welcome ladies and gents to a new weekly series called Austin Food Truck Friday! There seems to be a food theme 'round these parts.

The Austin Chronicle recently put… Continue reading What to Eat in Austin: Food Truck Friday
What do expats, travelers, artists, and humanitarians have in common? You wouldn’t believe it but all these folks hang out at this really rad wine bar in small-town Elgin, Texas - about 30-45 minutes outside Austin.

If you guys read my post about the Regional Burning Man event here in Texas that we attended, then I’m sure that you can gather that the Burner community is incredibly near and dear to me.

Since we’ve missed that last few summers at home, we almost forgot what this season is capable of. With triple digits hitting most of the country, it is no wonder that I sit in my air conditioned oasis while staring outside in a bit of horror... WHO AM I KIDDING - I love the heat!… Continue reading Summer in Austin: Deep Eddy Pool
When I was younger, I longed to run away and join the circus.

My… Continue reading Sky Candy’s The Circus – Flying High on the Trapeze
As I was flipping through all of my old pictures I realized that I never got the opportunity to post this amazing HDR picture from Cali, Colombia.
