Selestat
October 3 – November 4, 2024 (Autumn) Crisp air and crisp leaves, wholesome foods, and cozy nights indoors – autumn is a cheat code for loving any stay. So it’s perhaps not surprising that humble Sélestat was such a winner in our books. Sure, it doesn’t shine as bright as…
Colmar
September 5 – October 3, 2024 (Late Summer) It’d be easy to assume, based on Colmar’s storybook aesthetic and instagrammability, that it’d be the sort of over-touristed hotspot we’d hate. Au contraire! Half-timber buildings strewn higgledy-piggledy around canals and pedestrianized streets. Fantastic food and ingredients at surprisingly reasonable prices. And…
Vilnius
July 26 – August 22, 2024 (Summer) While we’ve talked about getting to revisit our favorite places and share them with our son, we naturally gravitated toward one in particular. Vilnius, Lithuania isn’t where we’ve spent the most time, but it is the place we come back to more than…
Lahti
June 27 – July 26, 2024 (Summer) Why Lahti? It’s not unknown in Finland, but it’s far from an international tourist hotspot. It’d be like a European flying to the States to visit Duluth. And that’s fair. We essentially threw a dart at the map, scrolling around Fennoscandia on Airbnb…
Toronto
April 17 – June 26, 2024 (Spring to summer) Still flying high off the total solar eclipse, we landed at Billy Bishop, a past the lakefront skyline and to downtown Toronto. From there it was an easy tram to our Palmerston-Little Italy . This was a to land in and…
Solar Eclipse
March 24 – April 17, 2024 (Spring) In April of 2024, a tiny sliver of a remote corner of our home state was going to be the most interesting place in the world… for about 4 minutes. The only problem? We were on the other side of the planet. This…
Mystery (Data) Science Theater 3000… days on the road
3000 days! When we set out we envisioned a year or two on the road. We’d take in some sights, get a taste of different cultures and cuisines, and return to the States ready for a new adventure. We underestimated just a bit. It’s been 8 years and counting and…
Travel Tech
We couldn’t be digital nomads without travel-friendly tech. Compact computers let us work from anywhere on the globe, modern smartphones are as adept at translating a menu as calling home, and the technology behind our favorite childhood video games now fits into a handheld gadget. Here is some of the…
Hvar
December 1, 2023 – March 23, 2024 (Winter) Zagreb treated us well. It gave us a healthy baby boy, a pediatrician who never flinched at our rookie-parent questions, and a circle of friends we hated to leave. But as Kieran’s first birthday crept closer, so did the dread of another…
