How to find the Instagram sea cave in Pula, Croatia
On the Hunt for Pula’s Sea Cave After seeing some incredible photos on Instagram of a random sea cave in Croatia, we knew we had to find it. By scouring comments, talking to locals, and hunting on google maps, we figured out an approximate location and we went on the hunt… Part of me feels […]
Freelancing from a Camper Van
One of the best ways to see New Zealand is via campervan. It’s really impossible to take in all the sights and see the beautiful countryside by only visiting a few cities. So if we were going to do New Zealand, it had to be in a camper. Working and freelancing while traveling already presents […]

What is Barcelona’s biggest tourist trap during the day, turns into a seedier trap of sorts at night. Later in the night around 9pm, certain parts of the city begin to awaken. Barcelona as a city operates […]
Letters Home: Bosnia and Back
The first thing we noticed while driving into Bosnia and Herzegovina is that the nice roads suddenly end. It was my first time going through an international border by car. We had to check out of Croatia, get a passport stamp, and drive a mile down the road to the Bosnian border for another […]
An International Tale of Grocery
For as long as I can remember, Derek has been obsessed with going to grocery stores in other countries. Just look at the excitement. I shrugged it off at first, I mean, we needed to get provisions so I always tagged along. But as most converts to things will tell you, gradually I started to […]
