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…
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…
June 4 – July 2, 2022 (Summer) Poland was high on our list to revisit, and after excellent stays in Warsaw, Krakow, and Tri-City, it was clear what our next destination should be: Poznan! Then we learned that Wrocław hosted something called the Good Beer Festival at “Tarczyński Arena” and…
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…
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…
January 9 – February 6, 2022 (Winter) Porto was an absolute treat, but even with Covid and the offseason pushing down prices, accommodations were a little much. So we decided to split our stay between downtown and a cute bedroom community down the coast. Espinho gives off major SoCal vibes.…
December 12, 2021 – January 9, 2022 (Winter) “If you like Lisbon, you’ll love Porto.” We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve been recommended a touristic destination and preferred the less popular alternative. Warsaw over Kraków, Vilnius over Riga, Zagreb over Split. If there’s a city comparison to be…
The best (and worst) of everything (since last time) When we compiled a list of the best and worst of everything on our trip to date, 1000 days of travel seemed like an extraordinary amount of time, a milestone we never imagined possible when we set out. Well now we’ve doubled…
In celebration of 2000 days as digital nomads, here’s a bunch of our favorite embarrassing photos. We also wrote a companion piece/update to our 1000 day celebration the best (and worst) of everything on our trip to date, both of which are far more meaningful and you should read them before…
March 9 – December 9, 2021 (All year) Here are the most Instagram-worthy shots of our long and arduous stay in Croatia’s most overrated tourist trap. This post is about our 2021 stay in Dubrovnik. Read about our 2016 visit here. We spent nearly a year living in Mokošica, a…
We are Kevin and Danielle (and Kieran) Tarchenski, a family of introverts that travel the world. Why? To save money, have fun, maybe learn a thing or two. We love to work from the road and write about our adventures. Most of all, we enjoy living simply: peaceful walks, homecooked meals, quiet nights in – wherever we make our home this month.
