What is the point of traveling for us?
Cultural exchange. Learning. Growing. Experiencing. Connecting.
That’s why we travel. That’s why we couch surf.
Our first stop on our crazy six week trip before the conference, we were invited to couch surf with a family who lived in the quaint community of Lowell. 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.

Together, we’ve become comfortable with living with less, living frugal and the best part, working less. Our quality of life has gone up drastically, but our bank balance has gone down. Drastically.
So, when Miro and I were asked to present our story about life-learning, world-schooling and travel at the Life Rocks Conference in New Hampshire, we were so excited …

We all start off the same, crawling on our bellies, learning our place in the world. We follow our instincts to survive as nature inspires.

We are conditioned by our surroundings and accept everything we call the cultural norms, from the most harmful illusions to the most painful truths.

Some question nothing.
Some question everything.

I have always known that love brings purpose into our lives.
And love is never exclusive.
Love can happen between two adults, between a parent and child, between a human and pet and it even happens between two teenagers.

All are forms of human experience of love and not one is more important than the next. The experience brings the richness and texture to our lives and connect us to one another.
