An Important First: Erica is a Sportsfan?

The awesome thing about travel is that you get to fill your life with a series of firsts on your life list. First scuba dive. First insect eaten. First bout with altitude sickness. First condor.

Road Trip to Phoenix, Arizona – Heading to Burning Man

After our amazing time in New Mexico, we made a late night road trip to Phoenix and found ourselves in Arizona for the next four days.

You Don’t Know What You Have Until It’s Gone – Grand Canyon

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
