2021 Cultural Immersion
My husband and I took 5 months to travel internationally together starting in Fall 2021. Our goal was to live, explore, and volunteer in various countries across Europe and South America. We hoped to take the opportunity to slow travel in new places and get to know the people, cultures, ourselves, and each other better.
The Authenticity and Natural Beauty of Ireland
Irish culture is warm and earnest in the best possible way. Our month was full of sheep, pubs, potatoes and beautiful views. We just scratched the surface of the small but mighty Emerald Isle.
Simple and Sustainable Scandinavian Life in Denmark
Hygge is a way of life baked into the culture and society of Denmark at all levels. We had a chance to slow down and enjoy nature and history on the island of Als in the early fall.
