While we were in Tulum, the weather was ok, but really not the best. This meant clouds, and churned up waters. BUT, as soon as we took our ferry from Cancun over to Isla Mujeres everything cleared up and the water looked bright turquoise. I’ve never seen water like that! It was quite the contrast after seeing gray for […]
Tulum, Mexico
Tulum is a place that both Rich and I have had our eyes on for a while now. We usually opt for adventurous trips, but this around a time a relaxing beach trip was looking pretty appealing. Neither of us had been to Mexico before, and it seemed like it was about time to make it […]
Why I’m Obsessed with Joshua Tree
I recently saw someone write that they often feel home-sick for the desert even though they’ve never lived there. This resonated with me. It’s such a great way to describe how I feel about the desert (and being away from it). Sometimes I wonder if maybe I’m drawn to it because it’s completely different from what I grew up […]
#combingamerica
You may have seen on instagram last month that Rich & I took a cross country road trip which we called #combingamerica. We started in San Francisco and drove the southern border of the U.S, and then up the east coast (our final destination being Brooklyn where we will be living for the next six […]
Explore: New Orleans
I’d been wanting to visit New Orleans for a long time, so we decided it was a must-stop for our cross country trip. This city has so much character and so many stories. We decided to stay for a few days so that we could soak it all in. We started our trip off with […]
Explore: Marfa, TX
Marfa is the coolest little town in Texas. We’d been wanting to visit for so long, and it was definitely worth the wait. We did make two mistakes though. Number one was staying in a tent when the temps reached 10 degrees at night. We hadn’t checked the weather and apparently Marfa is not always […]
White Sands National Monument
We’ve seen so many beautiful places on this road trip, but the one place that brought me to tears was White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. On the drive there, the landscape is grassy and flat. As soon as I start doubting this place is even there, sure enough bright white piles of sand […]
Chiricahua National Monument
Before we left on our road trip, I clicked around on google maps looking for cool places. Chiricahua (pronounced cheer-a-c0w-a) was one of them! We spent an afternoon hiking the echo canyon loop. It was so surreal looking. It amazes me how quickly the landscape changes in America! Follow along with our trip! We’ve been instagramming along […]
On the road
“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” – Eleanor Roosevelt These days, our schedule looks like this: wake up and work for a few hours check out of our hotel get back on the road, do […]
Talisien West
On our way through Arizona, we knew that one place we couldn’t miss was Frank Llyod Wright’s Talisien West. He decided on building here even before anyone had found water. But he was so strong willed that he just had them keep digging until water was found. That very water source has been used ever […]
