I normally don’t write about my intimate life, because, well…. for one, it really hasn’t been a huge part of my experience since my son and I started traveling.  My focus for the last four years has been to experience life with my son, be present with him and for him and remain open to learning. And it’s been so much fun, so expanding for both of us and such an incredible gift.  Together,  Miro and I have found passions deep inside of us we did not know existed and …

“Where has been your favorite place to travel so far?” we are often asked.
The answer comes quickly and intuitively.. but I wait….
“We are travelers,” I say….
But aren’t we all, traveling through life, I think? Only some of us choose to expand our experiences by seeing the world.

We love couchsurfing with families and have done so many times throughout our travels in Latin America. But we’ve never couchsurfed in the United States, so I thought this would be not only a great reentry back into the US, but …

We hope you forgive us for not updating our blog often during our travel-roller-coaster, but we are taking our time now to rejuvenate, rest and get caught up in our beloved Cusco. Miro and I are clear, we really do prefer slow travel to the quick city hopping and are so grateful to be back in the closest place we have to call home.

Both of us are busy now, focused on writing about our experiences, preparing new posts, editing photos and video for you. But that takes a little time too. So this, being our first update post since we’ve returned from our 6 week travel marathon, we wanted to share with you some quick updates and ask for your assistance with one of our projects.
