Nazareth
The second part of our trip. When we travel we pack light, plan to explore everywhere on foot, we are flexible, adventurous and have no expectation. We have walked every day at least 10 miles. Traveling in this part of the world, we did not have the same lifetime thirst that you may have expected.…

Israel #vivalet2016
A memorable experience. Starting with the arrival, to the vastness of rocky land, the Stoney walkways, the history, the spices and delicious foods… Our friend is a delightful host.

Varful Piatra Cetii
We returned from Spain at midnight. The very next day we drove 60 miles somewhere near Alba, at a campsite in the mountains @ Cetea. And we had delicious food cooked on wood burning fire, and rested and enjoyed the beautiful area. Then we all naively hopped on a trail to explore the surroundings. It…

Barcelona
So how can you travel without being too much constricted by cash? 1. If someone in a different country invites to you visit them, Go! Three days is the ideal time to explore and sightsee. WizzAir has very cheap flights. They make up for their costs charging you for your luggage. Pack light. You don’t…

Long awaited visit
Quote of the day: “We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain–money, position, the approval of others, or just absence…

Out of body feeling
I feel as if I am slowly disintegrating from this world, to reembody myself elsewhere… physically, even though it’s just mentally and emotionally. Conrad calls it checking-out, and maybe it is. Regardless, it is exhausting as I try to stay present. During my last week of breaks I still take walks in Los Gatos and…

Seattle
It’s finally Thursday. I sleep in, watch a chick-flick in bed, I FaceTime with my parents, then finally pack one hour before hopping on the plane. At 2pm mom drives me to the airport just after we pick up Caleb from school. On the way to SJC we all take turns in describing step by…

Apartment Prep
Well the kitchen’s done! After many emails back and forth to the contractors, the counter people and Dan, Vio’s brother, who oversaw the whole thing, it has come together. All of the appliances are installed, the water runs both hot and cold, and the cabinets are all the same color. We really couldn’t have stayed…

Our Real Vacation
Though it only lasted three hours, our short stint in Munich during a layover on the way back to the States was sweet and relaxing. We arrived at Marienplatz just as the shops were opening and there were few people. The air was brisk, but we warmed up walking to the coffee shop, and then…

Packing 30
“Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” ~ Goethe I love packing. It’s the anticipation of the trip, the planning, the visualizing of what’s to come. We bought new cutting sheets, we packed the crockpot, the kingsize fuzzy burgundy blanket. We bought a…
