It’s been six months since our last blog. Because we’ve been quiet for so long, and since we’re in the midst of an enormous life change, we thought it was time to send an update on what we’re up to, what we’re planning, and how we’ve made the shift to …
We’ve been in New Zealand since January 16 and are leaving tomorrow. A wistful feeling has descended upon us…of wanting to savor every moment, every vista. In our three months here, we’ve learned a lot about the country, or at least about its landscapes and how to get around and …

So we want everyone to know we’re …
Today marks our one-year anniversary of full-time travel! Far from being ready to stop, we’re sticking to our original plan to keep going for a second year. Whah….?
OK, let’s be honest: sometimes we do get tired of being on the move. To fend off travel fatigue, we try to …
April 5 was a day we had been anticipating since the mid-1980s: the day we would finally set foot on the famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
We awoke that morning for our scheduled 4am pickup from our AirBnB in Cusco with great excitement and (for me) some trepidation. When …
