Month 134 was a mix of work and travel with two shows at the Gorge and two different road trips. I started the month working the Chris Stapleton show, a reasonably quiet one for us that Toby’s Aunt and Uncle visited for. I am not a country fan so I didn’t go in for the […] Read more…
Month 133 was an incredible month as I finally got to tick two big things off my travel list – traveling through the Inside Passage by boat and visiting Haida Gwaii. I didn’t have the best weather for either but it was still such an incredible experience that I will remember forever. I started the […] Read more…
Month 132 started with two weeks of intense work and lots of work drama and ended with road trips and camping in Montana, Idaho, and Washington. We had three days left of Griztronics at the start of the month and with multiple power issues and crazy long lines (up to 14 hour waits!) to get […] Read more…
Month 131 began with a bumpy flight from LA to Denver and finished with the start of the second show of the season at the Gorge, with some road trips and work in between. I spent three days in Denver, housesitting and looking after two sweet kitties while managing to catch up with a couple […] Read more…
Month 130 was spent between Australia, New Zealand, and California and was all about beaches, catching up with friends and family, and eating really good food. I started the month with a hot morning in Auckland, which I spent at the rooftop pool and jacuzzi at my brother’s apartment building, followed by an evening flight […] Read more…
Month 129 was spent entirely in New Zealand, and other than some lingering pain, it was otherwise a pretty quiet and happy month. I started the month with six nights left in Auckland, still mostly laying low and recovering from my wisdom tooth removal. From Auckland, I drove my Dad’s campervan to Rotorua and was […] Read more…
The 23rd June 2026 will mark a significant milestone for me: Eleven years living a nomadic life. Traveling through over 40 countries, not paying rent anywhere, and never in one place for more than a couple of months at most – being nomadic is an exciting life of true freedom. Although it isn’t always easy, […] Read more…
Follow these carry on packing hacks to maximise your space and still pack for style… I have gotten pretty good at traveling with just a carry on now. After years of travel, I no longer pack a large suitcase full of clothes I don’t even end up wearing – I have learned how to be […] Read more…
Month 128 was a mixed month where the lows were unfortunately more prominent than the highs, but I did still have some wonderful highs. I started the month in Villa La Angostura, a beautiful mountain village in Argentina’s Lake District, where we had one more half day to explore before taking the bus to another […] Read more…
Month 127 has been a fun start to 2026 as I was traveling for the whole month between three countries, two of them new to me. I started the month with one night left in Colorado, which we spent at an airport hotel after dropping Joni the kitty at the sitters. We had an early […] Read more…
