Why would we pay $200 for a 2 hour flight when we could pay $602 for a 20 hour train ride? You know 😉 ? That is the discussion my partner and I had when deciding how we wanted to travel from California to Washington.

Somehow it’s been 2 years since my partner and I sold everything I owned and started living in Airbnbs. In that time we’ve lived in Airbnbs in these locations: Continue reading “Lessons Learned After 2 Years Of Airbnb Nomad Life”
A few people have asked me about my partner’s remote work setup, which led me down a rabbit hole to realize that a post about that wouldn’t be very interesting 🙂 . I think that because it would be the shortest post ever saying, “he uses a keyboard and mouse.” However, that made me realize that talking about all the technology we travel with to make our lives easier and more fun while still being super mobile, might be helpful.

Shockingly, that title is not a click bait-and-switch, but it is inflated by fancy international flights 🙂 .

The best way to get a good exchange rate on your money in Argentina is to bring USD and exchange it downtown. Continue reading “Review: Cabify – The Latin American Ride Share App”
Up to this point in my life, I haven’t had the pleasure of exploring a lot of South America. I spent two weeks in Ecuador in 2018 and went to Aruba once in college, but that’s it. One of my best friends is from Argentina and moved back after the first year of my career. I hadn’t seen her in person since. So we set out to change that!

In 2011 I met a wonderful person: my friend from Argentina who would become one of my closest confidantes and later one of my college roommates. Later down the line, life moved us apart.
