Sharing a Vacation House with Friends

I love when I get to spend time, whether it’s a weekend or full week, living in one house with friends or family. There was something magical about spending 24 hours each day in close proximity to people you love.

Why We Will Never Be Nomads

Scrolling through the ‘gram, reading travel blogs, listening to podcasts about location independence, and scouring all the other places cool full-time travelers are sharing their experiences always makes us desire to ditch the house and jobs and head out to explore the world full time.

When I have the chance to combine these two activities, the joy I feel is multiplied.

Southern Utah by Campervan

My desire to visit Utah was almost entirely inspired by people I follow on Instragram. In 2018, we finally planned a week-long vacation to southern Utah… and it was everything I imagined it to be, and more!

Rwanda & Lake Bunyonyi

While living in Uganda we took a week-long vacation to Rwanda and western Uganda. Here’s what you need to know about traveling to Kigali and Lake Bunyonyi.

People Are Good

We are all taught from a very young age not to talk to strangers because they could have bad intentions or be trying to take advantage of us. But one belief we have that guides our life is that people are good.

12 Fun Off-Broadway, Non-Country Music Activities in Nashville

Even if you aren’t a country fan, don’t write Nashville off! We have spent plenty of time away from Broadway (the country hub for tourists) and have found fun activities that go beyond the typical music scene.
