    Wanderlust Friday: Travel is Exhausting

    Hey there – so we missed a wanderlust Friday post last week. The short and sweet of it is we didn’t have wifi OR 4G connection – yes, those places still exist in the US.  Right here  is one, if you are curious ) The longer and much more truthful explanation is that of course we

    Olkhon Island, Lake Baikal, Russia.  The return to 9-5 has been a bit bumpy for me. I like the job and my colleagues, and even the routine. But the no fresh air or day light for 8 hours a day — that’s brutal. We are constantly re-evaluating where we want to be and how we

It’s going to be busy, hectic, and exciting. We are pumped. So it’s high time to share more properly a key

    For the foreseeable future we are based out of Washington DC, but still intend to travel far and wide, explore closer to home, and pretty much engage any and all wanderlust opportunities that come our way.

    Sichuan Tibet near Tagong village, China. I’ve spent some time thinking of a concept of a perfect day, perfect is such a relative term after all. As I was beginning to deconstruct our typical days on the road, there seemed to be two major types of days: active and passive. Active travel is your “go mode”
