  When we were first backpacking around Costa Rica (long before we ever imagined calling the country home), one of the stops we found particularly striking was Cahuita National Park. With palm-fringed beaches, abundant wildlife and powder white sand, it was everything we had first imaged Costa Rica would be. Fast-forward a few years, and […]

Living in Costa Rica, we’ve noticed that the country attracts a lot of native Coloradans—both tourists and expats. It seems the love of the outdoors and adventure activities aligns well with residents of both areas. So it’s hardly any surprise that Colorado immediately caught our attention as a place where we might want to spend […]

You wouldn’t think an island only 31.04 square miles with nearly 7.2 million people inhabiting it is capable of producing anything relaxing.But Hong Kong is full of surprises. Those who are drawn to cities understand the near constant energy that comes with cramming too many people in too little space.

    It wasn’t love at first sight when we arrived in Oahu. After a quick and easy plane ride from Maui, we were ready to dive into the legendary island of Jurassic Park and Hawaii Five-O. Instead, we were met with a completely disorganized rental car office (we won’t go into the details) and […]

We are finally getting settled into our new home in Costa Rica. After unpacking our backpacks, getting beds, a car and all the little necessities that come along with putting down roots, we're finding time to explore the area around where we live. And there is plenty to explore in the mountains of Costa Rica! We have everything from whitewater rafting to waterfalls to mountain hikes, and the beach is still less than an hour away.
We are very excited to be hosting Casey's sister for a month which is the perfect excuse to get out and play tour....

Nicaragua is relatively less traveled compared to its southern cousin we now call home, but in no way does that mean there is any lack of incredible things to see and do. We spent two weeks exploring the “Land of Lakes and Volcanoes” and were amazed by what Nicaragua and its people have to offer. […]

Isla de Ometepe is truly a place like no other.   Formed by twin volcanoes dramatically rising up out of Lake Nicaragua, each new twist and turn along the 19 km-long stretch of island offers up spectacular views of the rugged landscape.

One of the determining factors to making Costa Rica our home base was the country’s abundance of natural attractions and adventures.   Things like having beautiful beaches, hiking trails and lots of greenery nearby were important to us. Even better? Being just a hop, skip and a jump away from the spectacular Nauyaca Waterfalls. P.S. It’s crazy to […]

    If we’re being completely honest, the only reason why we decided to visit Brasilia (the capital of Brazil) was to go to the France vs. Nigeria World Cup match. That’s not to say that Brasilia doesn’t have plenty to offer its visitors; apart from being the seat of government, the city is also […]
