Traveling Village Trip update

We’re already about to leave Vietnam and it feels like we just got here! In the last 5 weeks, we’ve met most of the village for the first time, we’ve explored Da Nang and Hoi An, had 10 communal meals together and been able to figure out some semblance of a routine. Nritya and I are in a lot better shape physically thanks to a little s...

In Portland, South America here we come!

We're in the Portland area for the next week (it's been a *QUICK* trip up to the PNW). Here's a quick update on where we're at and what we've been up to. The last three months were mostly spent in Mexico with a quick detour through Austin, TX and Nintendo World. Shoot me an email if you want to see some of the video highlights (pretty ...

We’re in Mexico!

Our Mexico adventures have begun! We spent the last two months in rainy, dark Seattle so it’s been fantastic to come down to Guadalajara and feel the sun rays beaming every morning. Our itinerary for this trip is fairly fluid day to day but we do have tickets booked all the way back to California. • Jan 18 to Feb 2: Guadalajara (we're ...

We’re in Seattle!

Quick update in between reflections of Bali. We are back to our somewhat-second home, Seattle. Nritya and I both became adults here and did the bulk of our adulting here so it’ll always have a special place in our home. We’re planning on staying with friends for most of the trip. We’ll be in Lynnwood, Ballard and Sammamish for a bit so...

We didn't intend to go so hard when we first scheduled it but we realized that to fully explore Bali we would want to get a sense of a few locations before settling on a place to stay. We’re here for two months so there was no need to rush but there was an excitement that made us want to t...

We’re going on an adventure!

When Nritya and I used to talk about what we want to do a few years ago, we mostly had one thing on our mind. What we *didn’t* want to do. So we built our life around what we didn’t want to do and that got us pretty far. The problem with filling in a life with negative space is just that. It’s negative. There’s still a lot of space lef...

Hey World, Bye the US of A

I've started and stopped multiple blogs in the past, but I think this might be the most friction-free way of blogging I've ever seen. Anyway, figured it would be nice to post an update here right before we move and then maybe post life updates once in a while afterwards. This last year has been weird! There's no need to go into too man...
