Last weekend we had the pleasure of watching a tope (pronounced TOH-pay) in Nuevo Arenal, Costa Rica. While it wasn’t Kim’s first rodeo (technically it’s not a rodeo AT ALL, we just wanted the wordplay) it was Jamie’s first time watching what is essentially a big horse parade. But these horses didn’t just walk down Read More
Category: Destinations
Destinations around the world that we had an experience we thought worth of sharing with the rest of the world. We love to eat great food, drink great beer and try new things. We love the outdoors…hiking, biking, kayaking, trail running and sports. We hope to experience as much as possible in as many places as we can. Your world our way!
Best hot springs near us
When life feels too stressful for you, how do you unwind? The last time your boss rode you a little too hard or the kids asked way too many questions or traffic had you stuck, what questions did you ask yourself? Is that beer still in the fridge? Can I schedule some spa time for Read More
Best Ways to Get Around
If you know us, you know we like to get around. Sitting still is not our strong suit. Whether it’s a trip around the block or the world, we like to keep moving. From planes and trains to scooters and bikes, if it has wheels, we’ve probably ridden it. In this blog, we share the Read More
How I Choose My Shoes
Sneakers, trainers and hiking boots. Oh my! There I was, alone in Taiwan and in desperate need of gym shoes. Kim had gone back to the US to attend to some family matters, leaving me behind in tropical Kaohsiung. While I could survive in flip flops and Birkenstocks 90% of the time, those choices wouldn’t Read More
Well isn’t that interesting?
Picture it: Shenzhen, China in 2018. The three of us are fresh off the plane from the States and have very little idea what exactly we are getting ourselves into. We had heard of “Chinglish,” the often-comical blending of Chinese and English that is the product of illogical translations. It’s very popular in print, seen Read More
More faces of Aubrie
Not gonna lie, we’re doing a little multitasking. This photo dump serves two purposes: Jamie needs to make room on her phone for the iOS update that came out in early Spring 2025 and we thought it was time for a “Faces of Aubrie” update since we promised we’d update our first blog. That was Read More
Breakfast with Babe on a boat
What to do, what to do? We had a little down-time in Istanbul this week. We sat in our AirBnb, looking at each other, and wondered what kind of low-key adventure we could take without spending a lot of liras. Our stomachs growled and then our good friend Dr. Ahmet shared this IG account. At Read More
What powers my dragon boat
Drumbeats trigger me. My pulse races when I see brightly colored dragons or boat paddles. It’s an uncontrollable reflex, symbolic of something that had been smoldering in my heart since the last Dragon Boat Festival in China when I first shared what floats my dragon boat. This one experience of paddling a dragon boat sparked Read More
