We recently returned from the trip of a lifetime: circumnavigating the arctic island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago of islands located north of the mainland, a 2 hour flight from Tromso. Together we embarked on a 10-day excursion on the M/S quest ship with Polarquest (Expedition Svalbard). Our goal was to experience the beautiful and…
Read the PostLast Updated April 2026 Three years ago we set off on the Europe road trip that changed everything.

Read the PostI recently shared some behind-the-scenes of my day on Instagram, including a note to send me any questions you might have about blogging. The response was overwhelming!
