Traveling with a Significant Other

The post that many of you have been waiting for. I know this because I have gotten the same question from most of you throughout this trip. “How are you and Jake? Are you both still getting along?” These are valid and important questions. And to be honest, at times my response can shock myself…

100 Things I’ve Learned in 100 Days of Traveling

In no particular order here is a list of 100 things I have learned in 100 days of traveling abroad. Some of these are my own lessons, others are quotes from people I have met or books I have read along the way that have resonated with me, and of course there are a few…

The Culture of Catalonia

Last stop on the European portion of this trip- Spain! We booked our departing flight out of Europe from Barcelona before our travels even began. With that in mind, we gave ourselves two and a half weeks before that flight to stay in Spain before leaving the beautiful continent of Europe that we have called…

You Are What You Eat by Jake

I think this title/saying could never feel more applicable. After spending 3 months in Europe I can say one thing for certain; I feel fat. In reality, I am probably in the recommended weight bracket for my height and age, but there is no doubt in my mind that the food here has left short…

Lizz Makes A Decision

Everyone has different experiences when they travel. Everyone must make tough decisions at times and can’t always foresee which road will be the right one. As Tom Gates says in his book Wayward: Fetching Tales from a Year on the Road, “I need to…pick left when it feels better than right, even if right has…

A Month in Italy

There is no amount of time sufficient enough to experience Italy. The amount of culture, historical sites, museums, food, and amazing people that this country has to offer is enough to keep you here forever. But when you only have three months on an entire continent, trying to prioritize it all can be daunting. Italy…

The Top Vacation Spot in the World (And I Used to Live in Costa Rica)

Apologies for being so behind on my blogging! Most of you who read consistently also follow me and Jake on other social media platforms and have probably noticed that we have visited a lot of places recently that haven’t been up on the blog. For one, I’ve been lazy (but I rationalize this by saying…

Aimez-vous Paris?

Visiting Paris is something I know a lot of people dream of doing. It’s one of the first foreign places that we are exposed to due to its popularity around the world and the iconic symbol of the Eiffel Tower. I remember seeing images of Paris from books and movies growing up including The Hunchback…

Living Without Borders by Jake

One of the objectives that Elizabeth and I had while being in Luxembourg was to explore this small country as much as possible. After working on the farm for a week, we decided to hit the outdoors and do something in nature. We decided to hike the “Schengen Without Borders” trail that crosses through 3…

Life in Luxembourg

Luxembourg was definitely not on my radar as a potential destination during the beginning steps of planning this trip. To be completely honest, I had never heard of the country that borders France, Belgium, and Germany and is home to 560,000 people before a few months ago. However, this place exists and its largest city,…
