Seoul has always been a city I enjoy and a place that has so much to offer. I loved getting to revisit so many of the places and areas in Seoul I enjoy on this recent trip and it reminded me of all my favorite things to do and see… Read more
I returned from Korea this past weekend after five days in the country for work (the majority of the time in Seoul) and after four years since my last visit, I was anxious to see how I felt about my return trip. While I was living in Hawaii a few… Read more
After spending the morning in the city center of Denver, we ventured down to Larimer Square and LoDo. Larimer Square is a really cute few blocks of Denver with amazing restaurants, strings of lights hanging over the streets and renovated brick buildings filled with character. We wandered the area and… Read more
I’m in Seoul, South Korea currently for work but today I’m reminiscing about our quick weekend trip to Denver a few days ago. In August Nick and I discovered we needed just a couple thousand miles more to make our MVP status again with Alaska Airlines, so we jumped on… Read more
I’ve seen so many posts recently about how to quit your job, travel and live out of a suitcase in order to see the world. I’m always wary about that topic when I read different posts because that doesn’t work for the majority of people and for me, it’s never… Read more

Today I’m getting into our trip recap photos from Hawaii and while our time in the islands wasn’t the typical “paradise” weather, it was a different side of Hawaii that you’ll get to see from our photos due to the hurricanes in the area. I actually love that the photos… Read more
