So, where are you from? – oh, you are Russian? No wait, you don’t have an accent… Oh you are American too? After many such conversations in a course of a year plus in travel, we don’t tend to over-think this part of getting…
Driving through the Everglades National Park, Florida. So many things to talk about today! First a BIG announcement — one half of our team (me!) is going to be attending TBEX in Fort Lauderdale, FL this month! Yesterday, Jet Blue had this crazy sale…
Monk initiation ceremony outside of Mandalay, Myanmar. Last week when I wrote the post about how we are trying to figure out life-travel balance, I was reflecting on why we travel. And then I got a little sappy, because the reasons were so many:…
The magic hour in LA, California. It’s hard to believe we’ve been back in the US for one year. What’s it been like? Wonderful. We’ve watched close friends get married and have babies. We’ve attended multiple happy hours, dinners, and parties. We’ve set up…
Pet the Goat – a cool game you can play while driving down the Albanian one-way highway. Having read a bit about transport in and across the Balkans, I was slightly petrified of what could go wrong as we climbed aboard the train in…

My family visited us for a few days last week, which gave me an excuse to plan out all sorts of cool itineraries around the glorious tourist mecca that Washington DC becomes in the summer. We ticked off a bunch of well known sites and museums,…
If the number of posts (4!) about just one city is any indication, it was pretty hard for us to let go of Budapest. We had all sorts of grand plans to see the countryside, perhaps chill out a few days at Laka Balaton,…
“I am going to visit Gellért baths this afternoon” , I casually offered Sergey towards the tail end of our stay in Budapest. I fully expected Sergey to stay behind. Outdoor wave pool at the Gellért baths, Budapest, Hungary. Typically, I think that there’s…
We have had some personal life changes around here connected to jobs and house renovations, which made everything else a bit hectic. However, we've also had a super relaxing half week at the beach in Delaware, which recharged us plenty to take on the…
I hope y’all are enjoying my pun. Because I have been wanting to write it for a year now — basically ever since our first meal in Budapest. Because we ate like there was no tomorrow in Hungary’s capital. We ate as if we’ve…
