Why do we write about moments?

Being grateful is extremely important to us. We feel that gratitude is the greatest way to find pleasure and happiness in our lives. When we stop to remember the joy we felt in a particular moment, it is like saying ‘thank you’ for how great life can be. We love reflecting on and appreciating moments, and also having systems to make sure we continually create those moments.  

Travel moments are what make it worth doing. Sure, going to Costa Rica is awesome because of the weather, natural beauty, and cool people. That is true for everyone though. It is the specific, personal moments that made our visit to Costa Rica memorable, and why it will always be a special place for us. Like dancing around a bonfire on the beach, drinks in hand, at midnight on New Year’s Eve with friends we just made. Or waking up in the attic of our backpackers, with an open door to a private balcony with a hammock overlooking the ocean. Specific moments like these are always better than the generic reasons everyone can name.  Over time we will share lots of these moments with you, with some explanations and back stories.

What are some of your own favorite moments?
