Sevilla is a wonderful city. I’ve been there several times now, and when Andy and I planned out our winter throughout southern Spain, I really thought Sevilla was going to be the winner, the city we would return to most winters to get some warmth. It came in at a close second, but it’s still […]
Andy and I spent one week in Malaga, Spain this winter. It was the first stop as part of our Spain experiment to see if we could find a city in southern Spain that might work as a temporary home each winter. Malaga is a popular beach town, but we were more interested in exploring […]
Every winter Andy and I go somewhere warm for at least a few weeks, ideally even longer. We’ve done everything from 2 weeks in Hong Kong and Macau (exactly during their cold snap unfortunately) to several months in Italy and Spain, from almost 2 months in Southeast Asia to 2 one month trips to Central […]
After dogsitting in Bologna, we had a few days before our flight to Spain, so we spent 2 days in Verona. Verona is known as the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and you can go see the balcony that was supposedly Juliet’s. But you know, a balcony from a fictional story. The city also […]
This year, our winter escape started off a little unconventionally for us. We had been planning on spending a month in Spain, but nothing was really set in stone yet when our friends Stephanie and Michael sent out an email looking for dogsitters for 2019. They live in Bologna, Italy, which is one of Andy’s […]
I love blogging as a career. It has literally changed my life in many ways. I met my husband through blogging and Twitter. It allows me to work from almost anywhere in the world, as well as at home in my pajamas. Earning a full income from blogging means I don’t have to work in […]
Road trip budgets can be all over the place. Taking a road trip in a campervan has even more variation. So it’s important to know that traveling in a campervan can make your road trip cheaper – because camping and cooking your own food lowers costs – but it doesn’t always work out that way. […]
Las Vegas makes a good starting and ending point for a road trip to national and Navajo parks in Arizona and Utah, and it helps that my best friend lives there. So after our short visit to Zion National Park, we began our drive to Vegas, where we spent a few days on the strip […]
Andy and I planned on camping at Zion National Park, but that drastic drop in temperature really plagued us while we were in Utah. So we made a last minute decision and found a hotel for the last night of our road trip. We were also running out of steam for the whole trip by […]
Many years ago, I visited my best friend in Vegas, and since she had to work part of the time while I was there, I decided to rent a car and take a side trip to Bryce Canyon National Park in southwestern Utah. But this was in 2007, in the days when MapQuest was still […]
