This is the first time in months that Jacob and I have gone on a trip with no intention of working. We were invited by a group of our close friends in Amsterdam to go skiing in Lech am Arlberg, Austria — known by some as the ski destination in Europe. What’s funny about this trip is that both of…
Read the PostI’ve recently fallen in love with winter getaways, so I knew it was only a matter of time before we ended up in Finland. Lapland, in northern Finland, is the ultimate winter wonderland!
