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 …

On the Move
What. A. Year. Somehow, many things have changed and yet nothing has been happening. Scrolling through our photos is the most obvious way to see what a strange time it has been. Pre-Covid: photos of amazing trips, fun times with friends, and numerous dishes from dining out. Post-Covid: photos of us with horribly grown out …
You Can Explore Europe… Tomorrow!
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 …
Lifestyle Changes and Passing Time
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 …
Life as a Wiener
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 …
Bonne Nuit Switzerland!
We’ll cut to the chase… we have a new city (and country) we will be calling home very soon. We’re moving to Vienna, Austria! In fact, Andrew is already there! It was relatively slow to start but escalated quickly and now here we are organizing with movers and looking for a new apartment. No we …
Weekend Adventures
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! With access to a pretty awesome rail network the possibilities are plenty. Basel is …
Hiking the Hardergrat
We’ve lived in Switzerland for more than 2 years now and we realized there’s so many spots in our backyard that we haven’t explored yet! We had a couple free weekends this month and decided to take advantage of what surrounds us. The first weekend adventure took us to the Hardergrat above the city of …
Family & Golf in France
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 …
Norway Part II
Going through all of the photos taken during our time in Norway.. wow did we do a lot! We filled you in on a few of our more major hikes in the last post but we had more exploring to do. After hiking the near 18 miles at Trolltunga, we took it down a notch …
