It is weird writing about our “next big trip” - something I couldn’t even fathom at the beginning of our last year in Central and South America. It is like we are a perfect fit for long term travel or something. So I present: THE PLAN OF ATTACK - FALL/WINTER 2012 Because, you know, there… Continue reading The Upcoming Plan of Attack
I really liked Washington DC. I mean, what is there NOT to like? The place is OOZING with history. But by the end of our road trip, I just felt this gaping hole without Shaun. These were places we said we would explore together - just like Chicago. We were looking forward to being museum… Continue reading Washington DC: Keep it classy!
I never really understood horse racing. Woo. You sit in a seat and watch tiny people on horses go in circles. Granted, I’ve never been much of a gambler. I just don’t get the big adrenaline rush. I guess my vice is cold, delicious, heavenly beer. Beer that the cocktail waitresses at Treasure Island in… Continue reading Taking Our Chances at Churchill Downs

This is part of the #WinosOnTheRoad trip series with Diana of D Travels ‘Round as we drive across country to start her new chapter in life. “I think this looks like the right place. Looks dive bar-y enough to be it for sure.” We walked into The Brothers with confidence. It was going to be a good night. Dim… Continue reading Omaha, Nebraska: King of Dive Bars?
This is part of the #WinosOnTheRoad trip series with Diana of D Travels ‘Round as we drive across country to start her new chapter in life. “Do you ladies want to check out my art studio?” Both Diana and I had sh*t eating grins on our faces. Oh hell yeah. THIS is what experiences are made of. Lucky for… Continue reading Serendipity and Art in Omaha, Nebraska
After a total of 17 and a half hours of driving, Shaun and I made it to Keystone, Colorado in a weird dream -like state. Did we really just convince ourselves it was okay to drive to and from Keystone (from Austin, Texas) in a 4 day weekend? I'm starting to be concerned at the… Continue reading It Feels Like Keystone was a Dream
With Erica still out on the road with Diana, I'm having to keep myself entertained. So, tonight I thought it would be fun to have a modernized, psudo-LAN party with a friend that I haven't seen in quite some time. And while setting up our laptops side-by-side on a wireless network it isn't quite the… Continue reading Travel and Gaming: The Best of Friendships
I can’t believe a year passed that quickly. It seems like only yesterday that we were nervously boarding our flight to Puerto Vallarta. Were we making the right decision? Apparently so! And yet 18 hours after we left Buenos Aires we found ourselves in the scorching, dry, heat of Phoenix, Arizona. This is, of course,… Continue reading Our Hermitage in Phoenix, Arizona
Graffiti - one of the universal art forms you find around the world. Like music floating in the wind, art in Buenos Aires can be found on every street corner - whether it be singers, songwriters, poets, or painters. Some communities embrace street art. Some outlaw it. While graffiti in Buenos Aires it is considered… Continue reading Photo Friday: Graffiti Art in Buenos Aires
For those of you who don’t know - when I was 18, I worked as counter help for a known tattoo shop in Austin, Texas for 3 years. Having said that, I know what to look for when it comes to quality work and a safe, clean environment. I wasn’t about to compromise my health… Continue reading Tattoos: Permanent Reminders of our Latin American Adventure
Being tattooed and traveling has definitely been a mixed bag. I did get quite a few looks being a tattooed Latina (they REALLY had no clue what to do with me) and Shaun got asked it he was a rock star a few times in Central America. But everything changed when we hit Argentina. No… Continue reading Bond Street: Discovering Subculture in Buenos Aires
While I understand some people loathe HDR, sometimes I just can't help myself. Seriously man... it just captures all the details you wouldn't get in a normal photo. So here it is. While Puerto Madero may not represent what "Buenos Aires" is, or really looks like, it is still a really beautiful and neat side… Continue reading Photo Friday: HDR – Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires
Yes. It had to be done. In the land of amazing wines we felt the need to experience the lowest of the low. *Boxed wine.* All of you have done it. Whether it be a crazy backpacker night out, or a fancy dinner where you passed off boxed as "divine" (not sure HOW but yeah,… Continue reading Video: Vlog 4 – Boxed Wine in Buenos Aires
One of the reasons I fell in love with Shaun was the fact that he was just as passionate about things he loves as I am. As we have grown older together, it has been nice to know that this hasn’t really changed much - except where our passion loyalties lie. That, and well, I… Continue reading Adventure Across Borders
