I may not be traveling right now, but I certainly have lots of travels to recount. In conjunction with the podcast that Ryan and I are planning to start, I thought I would do a throwback to our first 6 month adventure in 2011 and begin to write about some of those amazing travels. First stop: Iceland. [Read more…] about Throwback Thursday: Iceland
Beautiful British Columbia
After spending a week at the Calgary Stampede, Ryan and I made our way 8 hours west to Penticton, where he grew up. To be exact, Ryan grew up in Naramata, which is 20 minutes outside of Penticton, in the heart of wine country in the Okanagan. To say this area is beautiful is simply an understatement.

Home for the Calgary Stampede!
While traveling, Ryan and I met a lot of people who a) loved Canada, b) wanted to go to Canada, or c) wanted to work in Canada but got their visa refused because apparently Canada doesn’t grant many foreign working visas.

Jamaica, mon
Ryan and I debated for a long time as to what was the best way to get home from Peru. Flights directly to Canada were insanely expensive, plus we felt like we were due for some R&R before making our way back to the “real world”, whatever that is. Needless to say, we ended up finding a reasonably priced 4 day yoga retreat in Jamaica, and decently priced flights in and out of Jamaica. Sold! We took the red eye flight from Lima to Fort Lauderdale, arriving at around 6am, groggy, sleepy and in no mood to deal with the US border agents. After a grueling 7 hours in the Fort Lauderdale (with an hour and a half of that spent going through security), we were on our way to Montego Bay! [Read more…] about Jamaica, mon
