Headed East After RR&R
I missed a few days of posting, but the three of us (Cami, Carol, and I) were focused on the race and our Rest, Race, and Recuperation strategies. Read Cami's race report for more info on the race itself. In short, we all ultimately finished, needed a lot of sleep,...
Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) – Iceland
One of Carol's wishes on this trip to Iceland was to see puffins. The best place we found to do that was at Vestmannaeyjar or the Westman Islands off the south coast of Iceland. We booked a trip, figured out the ferry schedule, and worked backward to figure out a...
Golden Ring Road – Iceland
When sunshine and blue sky greet you in the morning, it's bound to be a good day. Race day is still a few days off, so on day 2 we set out to explore the Golden Ring (or Golden Circle). The Golden Ring hits some of the major highlights of Iceland: Geysir, Gullfoss,...

March 16, 2021—a little less than five months from now—is the scheduled publication date for Square Up: 50,000 Miles in Search of a Way Home. (Coincidentally, it's also right around the time we returned home five yeas earlier.) I am now in the process of sending...
5 Years and 80,000 Words Later — Our World Adventure is Almost a Book
Five years ago, in August 2015, my family of four set out to see the world without a timeline or specific destinations in mind. We didn't even know how long we'd be able to stand being with each other day in and day out. We just knew that we wanted see the world as a...
