🔊We have a fun sustainable travel tip for you!

27 nights in Europe have been covered by house sitting! We took a leap of faith and joined when we knew we wanted to spend three months in Europe this summer. 🏰

Our housesitting adventures have been so much fun and we have met the coolest people along the way and of course the cutest, sweetest dogs! 🤩🦮🐾🦴🐕

The cost for an annual membership literally pays for itself after two nights of housesitting…especially with the current cost of accommodations in Europe during the summer. 🌞

We are thrilled to share with you that we see a part of their affiliate program. Our link is in our bio to join! 💫

We spent some time this weekend exploring our friends beautiful Finca and coffee farm. We can’t wait for them to build their cabins and open their finca to the public for some really special experiences.

This is award winning coffee, and we can attest it’s delicious! What makes it even more special is it’s organic and centered around forest restoration.

We love to support local businesses who love and care about the environment.

Imagine yourself waking up in the highlands of Guatemala, picking your own coffee beans, and connecting to the source ❤️

Are you a coffee lover? Let us know below! ☕️

We feel that it’s important to be intentional with how you travel…what does that mean?

For us it’s learning about the Indigenous People of the land we are visiting. It’s supporting the locals, it’s learning about other cultures and how to be respectful.

This tour was of a Pueblo just outside of Antigua called San Antonio. Many of the Maya weavers live here. They even have a small museum that was founded by a Maya family (and still owned by the same family!).

At this textile museum you learn about the history of the beautiful textiles and the importance of them by the Maya People themselves.

So grateful to learn from the Indigenous peoples about their culture.

Always remember to ask for approval before taking photos of anyone! ❤️

We are so excited to have our first El Salvador trip booked!

The funny part about running a business is that it often looks different then you expected. What we are learning is we have to be adaptable and pivot when needed.

Our first group is actually one that found us! We got to plan and customize this beach trip with a travel friend, for a special milestone birthday! Better yet we get to be on the ground with them.

We’d love to plan your special events for you and can do so anywhere. If you’d love on the ground support we are able to be there as well. Send us a DM to learn more ❤️

We spent the day doing what we love to do most, exploring a new place. 🌵❤️🌹

We just discovered the beauty of El Jagüey in the most southern part of El Salvador. From this beach we could see three countries; El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua! 🌎

It’s also know as “The Gulf” and the water is amazing! It’s gentle and warm. This area of the country is still extremely rural and we highly recommend you travel with a guide only. 🌴🌞

This isn’t a destination on our itinerary…yet! Let us know if you’d love to soak in the beauty of a sunset here! 🌅
