Mission: Sharing World Exploration

And so it begins…

Jen, July 9, 2021July 9, 2021

After years of planning and dreaming, it’s finally happening.

We sold the house, the cars, and most of our possessions, and we are now actually living abroad. Current location: Lisbon, Portugal. Is it exciting? Yes. Scary? A little bit! We’re across the pond from family, friends, everything we knew and loved, and we’re on our own in this place where we’re just barely learning the language and hardly know anyone at all. And we’re doing alright.

We know the adjustment is not always going to be easy. We’re mentally preparing for the ways that this will be a true test of our relationship and our grit. But I think we might just be ready for an adventure: stay tuned.

Patagonia: Exploring the End of the World

June 2, 2024June 2, 2024

If you’re considering a visit (or maybe dream of going someday), read on… Many words come to mind to describe the Patagonia region of South America, but I’d start with magical. I’d then continue with awe-inspiring. Breathtaking. And then add gorgeous. (Can you tell we were wowed??)   Encompassing the southernmost…

“Poor Man’s Galapagos” Did Not Disappoint 

September 20, 2024September 20, 2024

Ecuador may or may not be on everyone’s radar, but mention Galapagos Islands, and most people will know what you’re talking about. By all accounts, Galapagos is amazing – considered one of the planet’s foremost destinations for wildlife, it’s reportedly an unreal experience.   I say ‘reportedly’, because even though…

If you aren’t familiar with the Hammam, here’s a brief tutorial. Hammam is a community Islamic bath and translates to “hot water” or “hot spring”, traditionally with separate bathing areas for men and women.

A somber day today: we spent the morning at @pamatnik_terezin_memorial , the prison camp and Jewish Ghetto located between Prague and the German border. 

According to the website, the memorial was established "with the aim of preserving and maintaining the places of suffering in the form they were during the Nazi regime so that they could be a permanet reminder and warning for future generations."

A place of sadness with a dark history, now peaceful and meaningful. The stories of its victims live on.
