Costa Rica, Family

The past few weeks, we've been very busy looking for our next home, and I haven't had much time to write this blog post. I'll talk about the house hunting later, but for now, I'm going to reminisce about the fun times we had together with my mom and my sister's family when they were here for a visit a few weeks ago. Like me, my mom works on-line, so she was able to come down for a 3-week stay, ... Read More

Last year, I wrote a post about 11 Influential Books I Read in 2009. I'd like to do the same for 2010, but this time, I'm sharing some of the most thought-provoking books I've read recently. This has been a big year of change for me, and man... Read More

2010 was really a landmark year for my family and me. It's hard to believe how much our lives have changed in these short 12 months, how much we have grown, and how much we have been able to do. After reading a great post by Dragos Roua about 77 things he did in 2010, I decided to follow suit and write about some things I did in 2010.... Read More

Recently, I decided to start growing a beard. It's the first time I've ever attempted this, even though I'm 30 years old. There are a few things that prompted it: I've never done it before, and wanted to see if I could I wondered what I might look like with a beard Most people think I look young - really young. A few people have even thought that I was my daughter... Read More

Costa Rica, Personal, Travel

We've been doing a lot of thinking the past few weeks. We've been trying to decide where we'd like to have our baby, and where we'd like to live for the majority of next year. After looking at several different countries, we realized that there weren't a lot of options for dual citizenship in countries we would want to live long-term right now. Yes, Canada and Spain are lovely, but they're also... Read More

Wow! It feels so good to be back here in Costa Rica! I love the warmth weather (a perfect 65-75 degrees), the lush, green vegetation and breathtaking views all around, the friendly, smiling people, the inexpensive food, the spaciousness and quietness of our rental house and the gardens surrounding it, and no plans of anything to see or do -- just total freedom to do whatever I want all day. I am l... Read More

We've been visiting our friends and family here in Salt Lake City, Utah the past week or so. It has been great to see everyone, share some nice hugs, meals, and long conversations, and also experience the cozy feeling of the town we grew up in. I had forgotten how nice it feels to walk on carpet in socks! Ahhh... The leaves on the trees have shown us some beautiful colors, too, and we've even had ... Read More

Peru, Volunteering

One of the main reasons we wanted to come to Cusco, Peru - besides visiting Machu Picchu, of course - was to volunteer; and Cusco did not disappoint us in that regard. There are a number of volunteering opportunities here. We found a school called Aldea Yanapay where kids can go after regular school hours to experience a kind of love and learning they d...

Peru, Volunteering

My first impression of Cusco, Peru was that it was dry, dusty and hot - until night time. Then it was dry, dusty and cold. Granted, we arrived near the end of Cusco's dry season, so I can't expect to see much green. But between the clay-brown buildings, sandy mountains, and dusty streets, there isn't much color except for the local women, who wrap brightly-colored woven fabrics around their necks ... Read More

Family, Travel

In our travels, we rarely meet others traveling with their kids, especially in backpacker havens like Cusco. To some it might seem odd to take a vacation with your children, since a vacation is often seen as a break from the kids. And there are definitely times when that break is welcome. But there are also good reasons to take your children with you on a vacation, even internati... Read More
