My finger slowly drags across the huge paper globe as it finishes it’s slow spin. It stops and I quickly look to see what lies underneath my fingertip– Canada. “Not cool enough, ” thinks my 8 year old self and I give it another good spin, hoping for something more exotic. It stops again- Argentina, […]

Utila, Honduras
Work this spring had been unusually slow for Ryan, so about 3 weeks into a no-work break, we were tired of hanging out in 90′ temps with no water in sight and decided we needed to go somewhere. Like tomorrow. So what began as a casual conversation about how we wanted to take a freediving […]
Dangriga & Thatch Caye, Belize
I love the Pacific. It’s the ocean I grew up visiting and up until my early 20’s it was the only salty water I had ever been in. But once I found myself in clear and calm Caribbean waters I realized that I had a whole lot more love to go around. We planned a […]
Torio, Panama
Today it was 102°. That was the average temperature during our visit to Torio, Panama last March. I am no meteorologist but I can tell you that the dry heat I am experiencing today is nothing like the all encompassing, suck the air out of your lungs and give you a sweaty upper lip […]

Spokane, Southern Oregon & NorCal
Palm Springs was wonderful until the mercury started to rise. By the time we hooked up and pulled out of town the average temp was around 106′ F. Too toasty for our bones. We made the trip back home to Spokane to spend the summer. Our house is a total oasis in the summertime. Our […]
I haven’t been everywhere, but it is on my list.
I don’t know how in the world we get so lucky. These last 2 months or so we have not only moved and lived in three different cities, we have moved to destinations. Half Moon Bay, Ventura, and Palm Springs–just pinch me. Or punch me, which is a sentiment shared by my friends in some climates […]
