Homesickness and Wanderlust
We’ve been away for a long time, and it has been rejuvenating, bright, warm. We worked and played, we walked and rested. We’ve seen friends, visited places, ate exotic foods, sipped delicious drinks. Gosh, this is wonderful! It is home away from home.

We’re back in California
It’s like we never left, but then I remember the richness and life we lived in 2015. I left Cluj with mixed feelings …home is there now. But I needed so much to take a break from it all. Romania is wonderful and humbling and it leaves me with a feeling that I owe, or…

London
In March we booked our roundtrip tickets to London. Fist time in UK. At the time we had no other plans to travel in 2015. In the meantime we ended up traveling to 12 countries. This trip was very purposeful. My friend’s wedding. Her and I became closer friends working and traveling together in California…

Gmunden
The map says it will take us 10.5 hours to get there, but in reality it takes 14. If you take into consideration much needed breaks and the fact that the road through romania passes through a village every few kilometers and the speed limit is 50km/h.

Bergamo
The shutters are half way down. It’s a hot Sunday in August in Bergamo. We came back from the absurdly long walk all the way to the top of the old city, the fortress, and back. And now I’m reading Journal cu Petre Tutea. Alina has a wonderful collection of books. It has been a…

Three weeks
Time stood still for three weeks. It was so dense like a rich chocolate cake, filled with nuts and caramel and everything good. And today we said goodbye to mom and dad. We hugged tightly at the Cluj airport, we held back our tears and smiled a thousand smiles in a discreet yet heavy love.…

WizzAir has very cheap flights. They make up for their costs charging you for your luggage. Pack light. You don’t…

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…

Pinnacles
Well, we made it back from camping in one piece. Aside from the oppression of bugs and heat, I’m convinced that you need more than one night for a proper “reset” (without the former of course). Regardless, we had a good time and it was an experience we’ll remember… The scenery was dramatic and the…

Cluj – day one
Our minds are cool and clear. We spent all our emotions the weeks prior to this trip. Now we just dive in and let it all happen. We are in Cluj. I am sipping coffee in bed, Ritual Coffee freshly brewed by Conrad. And before noon we plan to check out the few apartments we…
