When Bryce and I drove back to our place from the airport after a week in Colombia, the first thing I noticed in the car ride was that I did not recognize any of the songs on the radio. "Is this Adele?" I asked Bryce, who had no better idea than I did. The song… Continue reading Back to reality — and new music

What 26+ hours of travel looks like
It took us more than 26 hours of travel to get from Seattle, Washington, USA to Calí, Colombia. From house to house, it took about 30 hours of travel!

We arrived at Bryce's grandma's house in Calí around 11:30 am Sunday… Continue reading What 26+ hours of travel looks like

So, how do you make time to blog while traveling? Do you just… Continue reading Travel blogging while traveling
Why New Zealand?
I'm not sure when Bryce and I decided to go to New Zealand. When we got engaged at the end of October 2017, obviously everyone wanted to know the who/what/where/whens of the wedding. I more so wanted to get planning on the honeymoon. Once we had the venue locked down, I made sure to constantly… Continue reading Why New Zealand?
