Inspiring stories

Our recent wandering: Alberta, Canada
We road-tripped to Calgary to Banff & Jasper National Parks and then flew out of Edmonton! We strapped on our cowboy boots for the Calgary Stampede, discovered gorgeous turquoise lakes of Banff, went zip lining,  and mountain roller coaster riding in Golden, and saw a momma bear with her brand new cubs frolicking in the wildflowers next to a glacier-fed lake!
Our recent wandering: Glamping in Huacachina!
Pulling up to our glamping site for the night was just a part of our incredible adventure in Huacachina, the only desert oasis in South America! We had a private chef, went sandboarding, got pulled on an innertube behind a dune buggy, and watched the sunset over the sand dunes.
Our recent wandering: PERU
This past October, we went to Peru for 24 days! We started in Lima with the world’s top 50 restaurants, explored gorgeous Arequipa, had a private hot spring in the Colca Canyon, saw the flight of the condor in one of the deepest canyons in the world, and had front-row seats on the train to Machu Picchu!
