Yes we’re alive, and thriving! As much as one can while lockdowns are still a thing anyway. We made the move to Utrecht in the Netherlands and are loving it so far. One crucial part of any move is also one of the smallest parts, being able to pronounce your new city. The move to …
How to travel to a new country, from the comfort of home. I’ll explain… While we’re stuck inside wishing we were traveling (or just doing anything really) I started thinking of ways we could teleport to a different place and recreate past travel experiences from our place. This post is purely just for fun, consider …
In the midst of this pandemic it has us thinking about how many people are buying in bulk to prepare for the unknown. Since we’ve been living abroad we no longer buy anything in bulk, mainly because we simply don’t have the storage space! We thought about other things that changed after living abroad that …
After a bit of a hiatus from blog updates, we back baby! Especially now that we’ve been in quarantine for a few days the urge to write is strong. Plus, I’m one of those that are looking for something to read that’s unrelated to the big headline in the news lately. So just a quick …
This may highlight our nerdiness (and Andrew’s love for spreadsheets) but we keep a spreadsheet of all the fun events, spots we find interesting, and cool things to do within Switzerland handy in case we find ourselves with a free weekend!

Recently one of Andrew’s former coworkers Arnaud, now good friend, invited a couple of us to join him and his family for a weekend we’ll never forget. His family lives in Bergerac, France (just outside Bordeaux) the land of wine, foie gras, and castles. Annually, they get together for a proper golf tournament between them …
Halfway through our time in Norway.. it’s been amazing! We’ve spent the first half of our trip working our way through some daunting hikes. We kicked it off pretty strong by driving off our ferry at 2 pm and stepping onto our 4 hour hike at 6 pm. This is usually uncalled for but the …
Our road trip to Serbia was nothing short of unforgettable. Romani people aka gypsies are considered to travel the world, perhaps in a caravan, with not much more than their musical talents and artistic nature. Romani are the third largest ethnic group in Serbia and on our way there, we felt like ones ourselves. We …
Happy holidays everyone (a bit late from us)! ‘Tis the season for a little hot wine and the smell of chestnuts in the air. This year our time was split between Vienna, Prague, and Lausanne.
