2022 definitely felt like a very different year than 2020 and 2021. Travel started out slowly and we were still quite restricted with where we could travel to, but by summer it was almost like the craziness of the past couple of years had never happened. I managed to travel A LOT this year and […] Read more…
After a couple of years of not being able to travel much due to the virus, 2022 was a much better year for travel and I’m pretty happy with the travel adventures I had this year. In 2022 I traveled to seven countries and twelve U.S. states, exploring Colombia for the second time over nearly […] Read more…
Month Eighty-Five was a pretty great one because I got to spend most of it in one of my favorite countries: Canada! I started the month in the Kootenay Rockies, a part of the country I hadn’t been to before, and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring. From there, I headed up to Banff and Yoho National […] Read more…
The 23rd June 2022 marked a significant milestone for me: Seven years living a nomadic life. Traveling through over 25 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, it […] Read more…
Month Eighty-Four was a mix of work and road trips, and although I was busy on both fronts, it was a fun month and much better than the month before when it felt like everything went wrong. The first few days of the month I was still roadtripping through Montana and Northern Idaho on the […] Read more…
Month Eighty-Three was a whirlwind month of wedding celebrations in Mexico City and Cholula before I finally returned to the US after five months away – and promptly got COVID. I started the month with a few more nights in laidback Sayulita and we mostly just spent it hanging out with our friends at the […] Read more…
Surprise, I am in the Galapagos Islands! We decided a few weeks ago that this was where we really wanted to go next and with prices a lot lower than usual and with fewer tourists, now seemed like the perfect time to take this once-in-a-lifetime trip. But backing up a little, most of month eighty […] Read more…
The 1st February 2022 marked 18 years since I left New Zealand to live abroad and travel the world, and it blows my mind that I am still doing it. What was meant to be a year in Australia and a couple of years in the UK before probably moving back to New Zealand, turned […] Read more…
Month Seventy-Nine was spent entirely in Colombia, traveling in the Caribbean Coast, the Pacific Coast, and Medellin. We started the month in Taganga where we had one more day hanging out by the beach and the pool before catching a taxi to Minca on Christmas Eve. In Minca, I did yoga daily, we hiked to […] Read more…
Overall, 2021 was not a bad year for travel although I mostly traveled within the U.S. due to COVID, visiting 14 states over the year on numerous road trips. I also spent six blissful weeks of summer in New Zealand, six weeks living between different mountain towns in Colorado during winter, five weeks island-hopping solo […] Read more…
