Chiang Mai was an incredible city. It probably helped that we paid for a few awesome full day adventures; a cooking class and visiting an elephant reserve. The city is also full of delicious food, gigantic markets, and plenty of cool things to see and do. Our first full day was our cooking class. We … Continue reading Chiang Mai
Pai was an incredible vacation on our vacation. We had been looking forward to these days since we booked them in Spain. We stayed in a quaint bungalow in the outskirts of town. It was full of hammocks, shade, cats, dogs, and the two wonderful hosts. I convinced Rachel to let us rent a scooter for our … Continue reading Pai
Our first experience with the country of France was with a wonderful family in the village of Saint Mihel. This is a tiny village of only 100 people about one hour (by fast train) from Paris. The family (Monika, Etienne, Chloe, and their go Lego) were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home. We … Continue reading France Workaway

It barely counts as a city in U.S. standards, but it sure is beautiful. Home to the biggest cathedral in Scandanavia, the Nidarosdomen Cathedral, it also served as the … Continue reading Trondheim
After sucking every last bit we could out of the Oslo Pass, our map was in tatters and our pockets were full of tickets. Rather than throw it all away and lighten our packs we decided to turn it into a book. We made it on the train ride from Oslo to Trondheim. It’s construction … Continue reading Book 1: Oslo Edition
In an effort to keep in touch with our creativity and our hands moving we wanted to bring a collection of art supplies on our travels. With limited space we aren’t able to carry our full arsenal of supplies even though we wish we could. We made tool bags for bikes that we repurposed into … Continue reading Art Bags
We are Rachel and Ryan. Two designers fed up with our daily grind behind computers. We have given up two jobs and an awesome apartment in San Francisco to travel the world. This adventure was prompted for our desire to create, learn, and experience things outside of our desktops. After graduating design school at the … Continue reading Leaving Our Hearts in San Francisco
