Life After Travel
Well, we have officially surpassed our one year mark, from when we left our jobs last year to travel. This last year has flown by so quickly, that I have a hard time remembering everything that has happened. This year has been filled with so many obstacles and struggles that I would have to say,…
The Lost Journals of Thailand
After being home now for about a month and a half and being an avid procrastinator, I figured it was probably time to finish my journals and write about my time in Thailand! The first sites of Phuket, Thailand were dark and dreary. We landed around 10:30 pm and didn’t arrive at our hostel until…
Coming Home
Sometimes your world gets flipped upside and you come crashing to a halt. This happened to my husband and I on December 20th when we decided that we needed to cut our travel time short, and come home nearly 4 months early. This decision came a few days after a trip to a hospital in…
Homesick for the Holidays
While we were traveling in Malaysia, a few days along the way I felt tired, unmotivated and sometimes just sad for no reason. Knowing that something was making me feel this way but not completely sure what, I took some time for myself one day to just contemplate my thoughts and feelings. Thankfully we were…
Time in Malaysia: Short and Sweet

When you find your home away from home
Without being said, one of the hardest parts of traveling is being away from your family, friends, and all of your loved ones. The best tradeoff though, is when you find a genuine connection with new people and you find your family away from home. Ron and I have been lucky enough so far to…
Nusa Pendida: Shit happens sometimes 💩
After our amazing time in Ubud, Ron and I decided that we wanted to explore a nearby island called Nusa Pendida for a few days. I had seen pictures of beautiful beaches, cliff edges, and sunsets on the island and I had visions of exploring and hitting all of the beautiful destinations; but life…
Ubud: Our first taste of Bali
When we first came to Bali, our original plan was to only stay 3 days in the city of Ubud, but once we discovered what a gem the hostel was and made friends, we couldn’t help but to extend our stay. Ubud is a beautiful city more toward the center of the island that is…
