Travel Tech

Green Hills, Armenia

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…

Vilnius

July 30 – August 27, 2022 (Summer) After visiting Vilnius three straight years in a row, then being kept away for three more thanks to COVID, this was an emotional stay for us. It was a homecoming, a chance to catch up, a whirlwind tour of all of our favorite…

Bratislava

July 2 – 30, 2022 (Summer) If Bratislava rings a bell, it’s probably as the stereotypically bleak and debaucherous ‘Eastern European’ city in the movie Eurotrip (ironically filmed in Prague).

Killarney

March 5 – April 1, 2022 (Spring) The grass is always greener in Ireland. Literally, when you’re coming from the Algarve. We planned our arrival assuming a functional transit network, with a flight in to Dublin and a direct train down to Killarney. Only Irish Rail had neglected to inform…

Lagos

February 6 – March 5, 2022 (Winter) The beaches in Espinho are among the best in northern Portugal. The beaches in the Algarve are among the best in the world. After two months in Porto’s orbit, we boarded a train south to Lagos to watch the sun set on our…
