There are a few different ways to visit Machu Picchu. One of them is hiking the Inca Trail. This is a bucket list adventure for some people, and I definitely think it’s worth it. Here we’ll talk about our experience visiting Machu Picchu and what it’s like to hike the Inca trail. You can visit our One Month in Peru blog for more information about...
When we returned to the US in May, our plan was to spend a few months with family and friends and then return again for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But we did not want to spend the full 7 months in the US (it’s just way too expensive). So we were thinking about places to go that were budget-friendly and a fairly short distance and ended up with Central and...
So we’ve come to the completion of our first full year of travel… crazy! Before I talk about our travels, I’d like to discuss how we got where we are. The decisions that were made, the research that we did, and how we can do this. This is a look back at the start of our digital nomad life. I want to start by saying, that I hear many people say...
Near the end of our time in Japan, we decided we wanted to spend some time away from the major cities. After doing some research, Sean came across Nikko, Japan and it looked beautiful. So we decided to spend a week in Nikko… or be to more accurate, Kinugawa-Onsen. We stayed at Kinugawa Pension Bamboo, which happened to be a small hotel/restaurant in easy...
Visiting Tokyo Disney and DisneySea was something I was not sure I wanted. Sean wanted to go but I know that previous experiences with Disneyland in California have always ended with me feeling like the idea of going was better than the actual experience. I was even more hesitant knowing that the population in Japan and specifically in Tokyo is one of the largest and...

After spending a little over a month in Kyoto, we headed to Tokyo…or rather Kawasaki. We opted for an AirBnB outside of the Tokyo due to lower prices. It was 20 minutes or more (usually at least 40 minutes) to get any major areas in Tokyo, but we were able to get more of a glimpse of local life. Anyway, here is our Tokyo itinerary for the month we were there...
As we enter the 8th month of our yearly travel, we’re taken to Da Nang, Vietnam. When we decided to go to Vietnam, we originally planned for Hanoi. But after more research, we decided on Da Nang due to the busyness of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. We prefer quieter places and near the beach. Da Nang seemed to fit that bill. Find out things to do in Da Nang and how we...
We spent a little over a month living on Koh Samui island in Thailand. We may not have taken advantage of everything the island has to offer but we did get to experience many of the popular sites.
