Raglan | New Zealand
If Raglan weren’t a 17+ hour flight from Denver plus a 2-hour drive once you get to Auckland, I’d try to convince Tim that we need to buy a second house there, but I think that might be an uphill battle. I […]
Hobbiton | New Zealand
Right before we moved back to the States, we stopped in New Zealand again. This time we hit the North Island. We flew into Auckland and then drove down to Raglan, a little beachside town known for its surfing. Tim’s training for […]
The Cusp | Zero Waste Travel
Living on the other side of the world has got me thinking a lot lately about…trash. It’s not something we often think about at home (unless it needs to be taken out) or even think of on the go, but I’ve noticed […]
New Zealand
We took soooooooo many photos in New Zealand. Here’s the final batch. Tim in front of a moa statue. Did I tell you we went to an ice bar? It was constructed of blocks of ice, but truth be told it was […]

There is nothing more fun to me than trying out new activities and writing about it for various media outlets. So when I got the chance to glamp (a.k.a. glamorous camping), I couldn’t resist! (And grabbed Tim and Nicola along for the ride.) Off […]
Melbourne: Street Art
We jetted off to Melbourne for a few nights just before Christmas. It was the first airplane we’d been on since we landed in April. (This flight was waaaaaaaay shorter.) We hit a bunch of attractions and wandered around quite a bit. The […]
Nicola started a blog over the weekend. She has been asking to have her own for a long time and after her last guest post, well we think she’s more than ready, don’t you? She says she’s going to cover, “my opinions […]
