We're big fans of DIY travel. Curious to learn more? Excellent, let's talk.
Sharing our travel advice one post at a time.
What we’ve Learned about Travelling, Part 3: Packing. Something we strongly recommend that seems nuts, but actually alleviates some travel stress: travel with carry on bags ONLY as much as possible. Get your clicker finger ready, we have lots of products to share that help us dramatically with this! We BOTH used to check big …
Okay, so you’ve decided you want to travel. Yes! And you’ve decided where you want to go. Excellent! Now what? Ummm…help? Once you’ve settled on a general travel destination idea, you largely have two options for booking your trip: DIY or hire a travel agent. We used a travel agent for our honeymoon and our …
We’ve spent a lot of time talking about how we travel, but it isn’t the only thing we do, so let’s shift gears for a minute. One of our most favorite things, and one of the things we most look forward to seeing when we get back to the acreage from travelling, are the four-legged …
