Grand Canyon – A Trip Through Time and Space
Grand is an understatement when used to describe this impressive place. The sheer size of the canyon made all of the other sites we had seen so far look like a mere dust speck on a gnat’s wing. We peered at every ridge carved out by the mighty Colorado River and even with a clear […]
Santa Ynez, CA – Our Big Move to a Tiny Town

Uruguay – A Year in Review
Time has flown by! I cannot believe a year has already passed since we bid farewell to Argentina and sailed into Colonia, Uruguay.

W Circuit in Torres del Paine, Chile
One cannot talk about the Chilean Patagonia region without mentioning the stunning magnetism of Torres del Paine National Park. Being in the heart of this stately place and scanning the horizon only to find vast wilderness and striking vistas is a surreal and humbling experience.

End of the Year at the End of the World: Ushuaia, Argentina
In late December of last year, we made our way further south along the scenic Patagonia region to arrive in Ushuaia, Argentina. Dubbed “the southernmost city in the world” we found it fitting that we would end our exciting year at the end of the world! We were entering the height of summer and with so […]
How we Packed for our 6 Month South America Backpacking Trip
Surprise – We’re heading back to South America!
