Looking for the best route from San Francisco to Los Angeles? We’ve driven back and forth a dozen times using different routes. While living in California, we often took I-5 for the most direct route. However, if you’re looking for scenic options or you want to explore new parts of California, these are the ones […]
228 We recently spent a few days in Muna, an island in Sulawesi that has some great caves, lakes, and natural sinkholes. Most people visit Muna in conjunction with Buton, its neighboring island. They’re well connected by a short ferry ride, so it’s easy to go back and forth between the two islands. The blue […]
Home to some 3.5 million people, Madrid is the capital of Spain and the country’s largest city. Though it’s somewhat sprawling, the city boasts stunning architecture, incredible food, and an energetic nightlife that stretches until dawn. Over 10 million people visit the city each year, and the minute you step out to explore, you’ll understand […]
Take a Workshop at Junkgirls 870 Monterey St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401, map I made a metal-stamped bookmark with my playa name, a tag for Leo, and a one-of-a-kind ring out of a recycled spoon. The atmosphere here was so warm and welcoming; I felt like I was getting a taste of art therapy. […]
32 The latest place in Indonesia that’s been compared to Jurassic Park is Nuca Molas, a little island off the coast of Flores with wild and exotic scenery. It’s well worth a visit if you’re road tripping through Flores, going to Komodo, or planning to visit the nearby village of Wae Rebo. The scenery on […]
I love road trips. You get in car and can just head off anywhere you want. There’s a freedom to a road trip that you can’t get with trains (and, don’t get me wrong, I love train travel too). Small towns, beautiful parks, historic buildings….whatever you see, you can stop for and can stay as […]
Was it worth the Price? This is not your average hotel stay. It’s a bucket list destination in itself, at least for us, who are not the Kardashians or the Zuckerbergs of the world. Whether it’s worth the spend depends solely on you. I saw photos of it years ago and knew I would want […]
319 Trunyan Hill is an underrated hike in Bali with amazing views of Mount Abang and the Batur caldera. It looks like a Jurassic landscape! This trail is located near the popular Mount Batur volcano, but it’s much less crowded and most foreign tourists don’t even know about it. I did the hike recently and […]
I used to think “home” was a dirty word. Out there — on the road — was where life happened, full of exciting adventures, fascinating people, and endless possibilities. No dreary commutes, 30-minute lunch breaks, mind-numbing meetings, or endless lists of to-dos squeezed into a rushed weekend. Why would anyone want to be home, the […]

For our visit, we flew into Oakland International Airport and hopped on BART, which took us to Downtown Berkeley (and our hotel). AIRPORTS: There are three international airports to fly into. Oakland International Airport (OAK) is the easiest and closest to fly […]
