Blogs of Travel

My name is shing and I recently moved to London from a tiny town in Yorkshire. This travel blog specialises in London life, Scandinavia and the Arctic. Its chilly up there, but oh boy, its beautiful!

I suffer from insatiable wanderlust and a powerful need to peer around that next bend in the road. Tolkiens famous quote is tattooed on my ribs because it says everything you need to know. I enjoy demolishing my personal comfort zone and watching my horizons expand ever outward.

My name is Solmaz and I’m a curious urbanite who lives to discover and share.

Jeff and I love to see the world. Its what we do. It’s why we work. But its just as fun for us to share our adventures with family, friends, and fellow travelers.

I am originally from California and still travel back there quite a bit. I am the mom of three boys ages 7,9 and 11 and a dentist. I have a BS in Microbiology from UCSB and my DDS from UOP in San Francisco. I love being alive and having the privilege of getting to experience so much of this world. I think there is a lot of beauty and amazement to be had just around the corner from our house or far away from it.

I grew up in a very small town in Germany and this is still the place I call home. By the age of 17, I spent my first year abroad in Florida/USA. Even though these were occasionally pretty tough times, I fell in love with all the unknown and different ways of life.

For 495 days weve been traveling around the United States, making stops based on suggestions on our map from our friends, family, and followers, making our itinerary a democratic one.

In addition to travel stories, we would like to share with our readers tips and recommendations based on our experiences. We have a love for posh accommodations, yet we are always on a quest to find the next state park and quirky roadside attraction to visit. On our site you will find that we get as much enjoyment from attending a local festival as taking vacations to tropical islands. We hope our blog can help others realize that you don’t need a lot to add spice to your life.

It’s time to ditch your misconceptions about cheap travel and join us on our blog as we show you safe and comfortable ways to travel on a budget.
