When I told my friends and family I'd be spending a few months in Buenos Aires, the number one piece of advice I heard was, "watch your step!". Somewhat notorious for major potholes, loose sidewalk tiles and dog owners who might not bother cleaning up after their beloved pooches, taking a walk in Buenos Aires is no simple task. However, I quickly began to notice that despite the pitfalls, these are some of the most beautiful sidewalks in the world. More

OK, so I didn't sell everything I own, but I got close. When my husband and I decided to live a life of full time travel, we knew that keeping up with our apartment in Chicago would be too much of a hassle and eat away too much of our budget.

In the past, I had to give the most lasting hugs I could because leaving the country rendered communication difficult, expensive, or impossible. Luckily, we live in a time where technology is catching up to the way we want to live, and I found a great solution to this problem by switching my number to Google Voice. Now I can send/receive calls and texts (almost) as if I never left. Here are some of the features that have been useful for me as a traveler. More

Sometimes on the road, it's easy to accidentally come across some wonderfully unusual things. During a recent weekend trip from Buenos Aries to Colonia Del Sacramento, we took a short tour outside of the historic town to explore the countryside of Uruguay. We came across a lush forest preserve of imported trees, a secret swimming hole and one of the most fascinating museum collections I've ever seen. More

After years or globe trotting with lots camera equipment in tow I've come to a sort of method for packing my clothing and essentials as lightly as possible. There are a few well known tips that I abide by, but one method that has never worked for me is that of planning each days outfit in advance.
