Lately we’ve been receiving a lot of questions about how we take photos and achieve a specific ‘look’. It’s taken time to develop our own unique aesthetic and it’s still constantly evolving. Also, it’s a joint effort! Jacob takes the majority of our photos and has a wealth of technical knowledge that I don’t. On the other hand, I edit…
Read the PostWe’ve been living in the Netherlands for just under two years, and visiting Keukenhof gardens and the surrounding flower fields during spring has become a ritual of ours. Keukenhof is one of the largest gardens in the world, with over 7 million tulips, hyacinth and daffodils planted each year. It’s located in the town of Lisse, which is home to…
Read the PostOver the weekend Amsterdam’s canals froze over and it was one of the most amazing sights we’ve ever seen. To give you an idea of how rare this is, the last time it happened was over 6 years ago! The Dutch don’t hesitate to take advantage of an opportunity to ice skate. The first day people were on the ice,…
Read the PostIt’s Monday morning, and I’m currently writing from my favorite coffee house in Amsterdam, Sweet Cup. I can’t believe it’s been a year and a half since we moved to Europe and found an apartment in Amsterdam to call home.

Read the PostIf you read my post from earlier this month, you know this year was a big one for us. It’s also one of those years that completely flew by! Though our home base is now in Amsterdam, we spent most of 2017 traveling. Some of the places we visited were completely new to us (Romania, Canary Islands, Dominican Republic), and…
Read the PostLast year was our first winter living in Amsterdam, so we finally got a taste of Europe’s Christmas Markets. I fell in love with them instantly. This year instead of visiting one or two markets near us, we planned a (fairly last minute!) road trip to see six of the best Christmas Markets across Germany and France. Some of my…
Read the PostThe end of the year always has me reflecting on how I want to start out the next one. And 2017 has been a big one for me – Jacob and I made the decision to keep traveling and living in Amsterdam, we officially started a new business together, and…we got married! (Yes, still eagerly awaiting our wedding photos to prove…
Read the PostIt’s been a little over a year since my last life update about our travels after leaving Los Angeles last year, to travel and move to Europe. And I’ll be honest — there’s been some changes! We’ve had more and more people reach out to us lately about how we did it and how we can afford to keep traveling.
Read the PostAmsterdam is one of my favorite places in the world. The city is downright charming, and there are endless things to see and do. If you’re visiting around summertime, you can expect everyone to be outside — sipping coffee overlooking the canals, barbecuing at the Vondelpark, or biking around the city. In the colder months, locals trade outdoor seating for…
