We've been trying to simplify our lives lately in an effort to pare down the decisions we are having to make on daily basis. Few of us are aware of the perils of having too much choice. But the truth is that after a point too much choice can become very problematic. The availability of numerous alternatives can leave us dissatisfied, it can make us non-committal, it can paralyze us.
~~~~~
Almost every part of life - small or big - requires us to make decisions - what to eat, what to ware, what to read or watch, where to go to school, who to date, who to marry (and when, and where), which job to take, where to live and so on. The alternatives appear to be countless, each with its own trade offs. How can we possibly tease out the best one? In a world of abundance, choice can consume us. Making, reevaluating, and often regretting the vastly greater number of choices we have today eats up one of our most valuable resources: time.
~~~~~
Do you have any tips on bringing back more simplicity to life? For example, we found that converting to a whole plant based diet made our food choices so much easier. A single conscious decision that's more global in nature eliminated a huge array of alternatives we would have otherwise been considering on daily basis. That got us thinking that we need to focus our efforts on making bigger commitments that remove the need for making numerous smaller decisions.
~~~~~
Anyone else out there fighting this battle? Would love to get your thoughts!

Today is Mia's birthday and I couldn't be more excited to celebrate with her. We met just over 7 years ago. First as coworkers. Then we developed a friendship as fellow business travelers. Cross country flights. Running with luggage through airports. Long Uber rides to new hotels. It is in these moments that you really SEE someone, and this is how we fell in love. I thought I liked to travel, but Mia LOVES to travel. She started our IG account just before we left for our RTW trip in 2016 and it has been her enthusiasm that led us to capture and share our adventures since then.
~~~~~
This year we spent more time in an office than we did on the road. For those of you that have taken extensive time off to travel, only to go back to work, you probably know how hard that can be. It has not been easy, but Mia has persevered and I am so proud of THIS WOMAN. Today, I am so happy to know her as my wife, my best friend, my travel companion. Help me celebrate her y'all. Happy Birthday baby!

We are officially in holiday season starting with Mia's birthday tomorrow, Nash's younger brother's wedding on Sunday, Thanksgiving in a couple of weeks, followed by Nash's birthday a week later, and Christmas and New Year's just around the corner.
~~~~~
These holidays are going to be all about family for us. We won't be able to be with everyone we hold near and dear as I (Mia) won't get to see my dad this Christmas but we hope to make up for it next year. We are so excited to spend time with those that we love and can't wait to kick into holiday gear.
~~~~~
What's everyone doing this holiday season?

Who on here has ever used a phone booth or any kind of public phone? These red boxes are probably almost entirely obsolete by now (other than as photo props of course) but I hope England never gets rid of them. Something so characteristic of a place and a time should be preserved or perhaps re-purposed.
~~~~~
Can you think of anything like this in your home countries that has limited practical value but plenty of sentimental value?

It's been a little while since our last international trip and we are really starting to miss being on the road... That's an understatement - we are practically desperate at this point! If you want to know just how much you care about something, try depriving yourself from it.
~~~~~
We have our reasons for staying put and we are making the most of these stationary few months, knowing they are not going to last. We've been exercising regularly, cooking more, eating well, spending quality time with family, resting, planning - all things that are a little more challenging to do when on the road (though still entirely possible with a little intentionality).
~~~~~
How long can you go without a trip and what do you tend to focus on when not traveling?

We’ve been feeling a little stuck lately, neither here nor there, waiting for a change. We figured out that the best way to deal with a slump like this is to find something to look forward to. So we’ve been planning out the rest of the year and focusing on all the things we are excited for. The worst we can do is do nothing with our time, that’s not something we are ever getting back.
~~~~~
How do you deal with being stuck?

When was the last time you stopped what you were doing to watch the sunset?

Boulder, Colorado - where even the parking lots have spectacular views.
~~~~~~
This picture was taken from the top floor of a parking lot, right in the middle of downtown. How cool is that?!
~~~~~
Where have you been that has spectacular views no matter which way you look?
