Though we’re very much still in the middle of a pandemic, and travel isn’t recommended yet, I’m feeling hopeful that as more vaccines go out and restrictions start to be lifted, it will be possible to safely travel again at some point this year. One of the main reasons we chose to move abroad was to […]
We’ve made it to Scotland! After four days of recovery (read: catching up on sleep!), I’m happy to report that we’re rested up, and settling in well to our new home! The last few days have been spent fielding deliveries, unpacking, figuring out plugs and appliances, and convincing the cats that this is their new […]

After learning that this probably wouldn’t happen, we revised our travel plans for the summer a few more times before deciding […]
Since travel is much more limited this year, we’ve been taking some time to really explore Sweden, the country we’ve called home for the past two years. Gotland is a place that kept coming up as a place we just had to visit while talking with friends, and so after a bit of research, we […]
