About 6 months ago, Taylor and Rachel made the decision to leave their big, important corporate jobs in sunny San Francisco and travel for 6-12 months through Central and South America and Europe. They set some loose goals to learn Spanish, play guitar, and give thought to life’s most important questions. For example: Who shot [...]
I must confess. One of the reasons I wanted to take a day trip to Carcassonne had very little to do with the place itself, or my knowledge of this medieval walled city with a formidable history and a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list. No. It had to do with the fact that [...]
I’ve been traveling with a beefy book in my bag for the last little while; one called The Lost Girls: Three Friends. Four Continents. One Unconventional Detour Around the World.

“Oh my gosh. I can’t believe it. Just look at that view,” I said, in awe of the vista we were driving by. “Yup. I’m sure it’s nice. I’ll take your word for it,” muttered Mum between clenched teeth, eyes tightly closed and squeezing the door handle. As we navigated yet another switchback up the [...]
I’ve settled in to my house-sitting digs in Hampshire, England. When I arrived, I was cordially introduced to a classic English afternoon in the countryside…clay shooting! Despite my minimal experience with guns, I managed to hit three clays. (The fact that I hit any was a relative victory). I’m here for one more week before [...]
