One of my favorite parts of traveling is trying out the food! We've now spent a lot of time in Hawaii, so we've been able to put together the list of our favorite Big Island vegetarian restaurants. My ideal situation is staying at a place that has a kitchen so I can cook the majority of our meals, but then go out to eat as a treat. [ 823 more words ]

Over the past three winters, Annalisa and I have had the good fortune to be able to ditch the Iowa winter and spend four to eight weeks on the Big Island of Hawaii. Thanks to my ability to work online and a great house-sitting situation, we've had a chance to experience practically the entire island; from the gorgeous Western beaches, to the lush Northeastern rain forests, to the mountain lava fields.

We spent ten days in Sydney in 2014 during our eight month trip around the world. It was a time of rest, recharge and relaxation. We were extremely grateful and fortunate to be able to stay with a friend of mine and her parents. Their home was two blocks away from Coogee Beach and an easy 20 minutes ride via bus and train to downtown Sydney. [ 812 more words ]

We recently spent a few days visiting Utah. We really enjoyed getting a glimpse of the city and eating all of the vegetarian food in Salt Lake City. We were impressed with the amount of vegetarian restaurants there were, and how innovative and creative the dishes were. We didn't just eat, we also went on a long and beautiful hike. We had hoped for the leaves to all be red and orange, but it was beautiful anyways. [ 708 more words ]
