Looking for the best sunglasses for travel? Here are our faves, including some game-changer accessories. When you travel, you should avoid bringing your nicest sunglasses. Early on, I didn’t heed the warnings and ended up dropping my favorite pair. RIP. Now, I have a pair that stays safely nestled in our car and another to […]
168 If you’re planning a trip to New York City, probably one of the first questions on your mind is what to book in advance. Generally speaking, the Statue of Liberty is a must (since it’s the most popular attraction in NYC), while other things like museums, observatories, and restaurants will depend a bit on […]
Tokyo is one of those cities that feels endlessly deep. You can visit a dozen times and still discover new food stalls, hidden shrines, late-night bars, quirky subcultures, and neighborhoods that feel like completely different worlds. (I know because I’ve visited about 10 times already!) One of my favorite ways to explore Tokyo is by […]
Take a Workshop at Junkgirls 870 Monterey St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401, map I made a metal-stamped bookmark with my playa name, a tag for Leo, and a one-of-a-kind ring out of a recycled spoon. The atmosphere here was so warm and welcoming; I felt like I was getting a taste of art therapy. […]

These comments made me realize that, despite all the detailed websites and […]
Was it worth the Price? This is not your average hotel stay. It’s a bucket list destination in itself, at least for us, who are not the Kardashians or the Zuckerbergs of the world. Whether it’s worth the spend depends solely on you. I saw photos of it years ago and knew I would want […]
55 If you’re planning a trip to China, one of the places that’s probably at the top of your bucket list is the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. This is one of the most unique places in the world in my opinion, and it inspired the floating mountains in James Cameron’s Avatar movie. I visited Zhangjiajie […]
We launched a product on Kickstarter! In 2001, Arthur and I (Jacob) were industrial majors at Georgia Tech. I chickened out halfway and switched to management, because I thought it was more practical. Throughout our four years living together, we frequently talked about working on a product together, but nothing came to fruition. Over twenty […]
752 One of the most iconic and amazing hikes in Chile is the Mirador Las Torres (‘viewpoint of the towers’), and it can be done as either a 1 day hike or as part of the W trek, which takes 4 to 5 days. If you’re visiting Torres Del Paine on a budget and want […]
