So... it’s been a while! Figured today is as good of a day as any to pop in here and say a long overdue “Hello!” How’s everyone doing?
~~~~~
We didn’t intentionally disappear and no - we didn’t need a break. It just sort of happened, the way things often do when you lose yourself in monotony or become a little too complacent. Anyone else on here guilty of that? The truth is we just haven’t felt inspired to create, nor have we had much of an opportunity time-wise. Hence the dry spell. We are fully intending to turn that around though!
~~~~~
And while we are here, one more thing (since today is Valentine’s Day and all) - remember... love can save the world. Love for each other, no matter our differences. Love for our planet. Love for ourselves. So go on, love a little harder! ❤️

Our favorite thing about being on the road is taking our time to enjoy the sunset. We haven’t missed a single one this week. We couldn’t quite capture it here, but just before sundown, the mountains in the background would light up as if they were on fire. There’s really nothing more beautiful than the soft warm light at the end of a day.
~~~~~
If we could have just one wish for next year, it would be to have the opportunity to enjoy more sunsets like this one.

What would you wish for?

We've said this before - we LOVE alternative lodging and we love experimenting with different kinds of stays. For us, it's all about the overall experience. We still like to be comfortable and we tend to go for properties that meet the minimum criteria of being safe and clean and having a private bathroom, though we have definitely foregone all of these on occasion in order to have some pretty unique experiences.
~~~~~
We've slept in a bamboo hut, in a water tower, in a windmill, in a yurt, in a caravan, on a boat, on top of a car, on a farm, in a museum.... And we have a tree house and a bubble room on our wish list.

What's the most unusual place you have ever stayed in?

The holidays are upon us and we are starting to work on our gift list. We love giving gifts to family and friends at Christmas but it's become harder to come up with cool new ideas.
~~~~~
Do you have any suggestions? What are you doing on the gift front this year?

Honestly, when we are away traveling, pictures from California make us so jealous! It is true that sometimes you have to leave a place to truly appreciate it. I don't know why that's the case exactly. Perhaps it has to do with having perspective or being deprived of something. I bet somebody has a smart explanation that I can't wait to hear/read.

What do you think? Does distance make the heart grow fonder?

We are about to start another road trip down the California coast. We'll be staying at three different properties - a super low-key farm/vineyard, a luxury beach resort and a charming little B&B. We used AirBnb to find the first one, AmEx Platinum for the second, and Bookings.com for the third. It blows my mind the kind of options available to us these days, particularly in places like California, but really all over the world. It's truly never been easier to be a traveler!
~~~~~
Do you guys remember having to print maps or ask for directions? Or do you remember having to go to each airline or hotel website to find a flight or check availability... or use the phone to make a booking?! Oh how times have changed! What else do you remember about trip planning that's no longer (thankfully) the case? Is there anything you miss about the old ways?

Who knew this girl from Bulgaria and this boy from the Midwest would end up in California at the same time. Who knew they'd end up getting married and traveling the world together. So much had to happen - both good and bad - for things to turn out exactly the way they did.
~~~~~
We are grateful for it all, including all the disappointments, the broken dreams, the failed relationships, the lessons learned the hard way. We are who we are and we are where we are today thanks to all the things that have transpired in our lives. So if you happen to be going through something hard at the moment, remember that it just might work to your advantage one day.

As the year draws to a close, we've been reflecting on the past 11 months, the goals we had set and the progress we've made towards them. For us, this year has been more about work than it has been about fun. We chose to make short term sacrifices for long term gains. It hasn't been a great balance but we felt it was the right thing to do. What has made it manageable is that we've been doing it together and we've been very intentional about what we had set out to accomplish and why.
~~~~~
Looking back now, we are happy with the decisions we've made and excited about what they might mean for the future. We've had some rough patches for sure and probably have a few more coming, but that's life. The most important thing is moving in the right direction.
~~~~~
How has your year been so far and what do you plan to do with the few short weeks left?
