I'm on an adventure
This blog was originally started to chronicle Jenny’s journey of quitting her job, lifestyle design, and seizing new opportunities. It morphed into a travel blog when Jenny & David traveled to Asia & Europe for months at a time. We’ve talked about a lot of great adventures on here and now we’re at the start … More A Great New Adventure
Some food for thought. What would YOU do if money was no object? While everyone in our society doesn’t have the opportunity to just do what they’d like without regard to money, it’s still something to ponder and reflect on…If you were to die tomorrow, what regrets would you have?
My 30th birthday [sigh] was earlier this month. Of course, we had to celebrate it in style, over the course of over a week. First, we ate cake. Triple layered, filled with hazelnut and fresh strawberry whipped cream. Then we went with a small group of friends to Giacomo’s in the North End, a highly … More 30

This is a post by Jenny. It’s great to be back in the US, especially after going to a walk-in clinic and getting antibiotics and eye drops to treat the sinus infection and conjunctivitis that have been nagging me for nearly three weeks. It’s fantastic to see and talk to my family and friends. My … More We’re Back! – Reverse Culture Shock
Today, we saw the Holy Grail. Yes, that’s right. The Holy GRAIL – as in the cup that Jesus Christ used at the Last Supper. I don’t know why Indiana Jones did all that chasing around looking for it, when it’s right here in Valencia, Spain! We had heard about this, so we paid our … More THE Holy Grail
After over a month of not riding a bike, David and I were itching for the freedom and glory of cruising on a two-wheeler. Upon arrival in Florence, Italy, we noticed there were bike tours available, easy bike rentals, and a flat city with a small amount of traffic. We were interested.
