There is so much we loved about Ljubljana. We spent an entire month in this beautiful city and we could have easily spent longer! Here is a video our daughter Emily put together about our time in Ljubljana, and some...

Hawaii / Travel / United States Dec 21, 2018 No Comments Each year, Jen and I take a couples trip together, just the two of us. This year, we chose one of the most paradisiacal places we’ve ever been to – Maui, Hawaii. (Here’s a video of it our 13-year old daughter Marie put together for us). Maui is so incredibly beautiful! The weather is just about perfect, with a misty rain that periodically falls throughout the...

Travel Aug 05, 2018 No Comments Due to last week’s theft, where I lost nearly everything, I have a lot of shopping to do. However, being in Europe, it doesn’t make sense to buy most items here, as the majority of products I need either aren’t readily available, or are much more expensive than buying through Amazon in the U.S. So I’ve been filling up my digital shopping cart and getting...

Romania / Travel Jul 16, 2018 No Comments Transylvania took us completely by surprise. It is nothing like we expected. Not that we really thought we’d see vampires, bats, and monsters in castles (and we haven’t), but we didn’t realize how culturally rich, historically preserved, naturally lush, and energetically grounded this place is. We came here mostly to run through the program for our At Home in the World Retreat, which we will...

With several hours per day of walking, this was a fairly intense experience for us. Our friends had walked much further, having started near the French border in the Pyrenees mountains. We joined them for the last stretch of the trip a couple...

Jun 12, 2018 No Comments Having been at this “travel the world” thing for over 9 years, you’d think we would have learned a few lessons. But a couple recent experiences have shown us how easy it is to forget or to become lazy in our approach to handling both travel details and safety. I share this to help other travelers out there avoid the same mistakes, and to keep...

Mexico / San Miguel de Allende 
Jan 31, 2018 No Comments San Miguel de Allende is a colorful town. The sounds of mariachis echo through the street as you get a whiff of the taco stand down the block. Its brick buildings and cobblestone streets are mesmerizing and it may feel as though you’ve just stepped into the past. With all this excitement, and with so many things catching your eye you may be confused on...

Mexico Dec 09, 2017 No Comments After traveling an incredible amount this summer, we have returned to our part-time home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Our entire family has been looking forward to slowing down this winter as we settle in for a six-month travel hiatus. While jetting around the world with a family is incredibly fun, rewarding, and provides a rich learning experience for all of us, traveling so...
