After spending two weeks in Morocco, we were excited to head back to Europe. We had around two weeks left to travel from Southern Spain to Paris to catch our flights. Though two weeks might seem like a long vacation, it felt short for us since we’re used to traveling for six months at a […]

Here’s the rephrased version of the article: We all want to look good and have some money saved up. No one plans to be broke or out of shape, but life tends to get in the way. We get busy, push our goals aside, and feel like we have no control. Our jobs drain us, […]

When you’re planning a motorcycle trip that lasts a few months, packing can be a real challenge. Last summer, we went on a six-month journey around Europe, from Turkey to the North Cape in Norway.

I make sure not to waste food, energy, or money on […]

Hey there! I recently made a spontaneous decision. Instead of taking a short trip to the US in September, which was part of my financial plans for 2013, I’m heading to Europe for a couple of months! I often browse for flights just for fun, comparing prices between places like Miami or NY and last-minute […]
