As I began my year long trip around the world, I wasn't sure which things I could continue abroad and which I needed to drop.

I also love going to the beach but many of the … Continue reading How I found/drank craft Beer in Europe

My favorite thing to do while traveling
During this year, everyone wants some form of consistency in every city. Something they can always do even when their world is turned upside down. Early on in the month, some people find their gym for the month, some their new favorite cafe to work in or some just like knowing where the closest ATM … Continue reading My favorite thing to do while traveling
The good side of Spain

A typical Remote Year conversation

I’m living where? The hidden gem of Sofia, Bulgaria
We've been living in Sofia for about three weeks now and its been a nice refreshing recharge so far.
