Discovering our aloha on Oahu with baby in tow

It’s no secret that Chris and I are obsessed with Hawaii. Alohaphilia, is that a thing? If it is, you can diagnose us. We seem to somehow make it back to the islands at least twice a year. There’s even a very special routine that we have when we’re on Oahu. It looks a little like this: rent a car, drive […]

Getting the most out of our Iceland road trip

Iceland is a land of magic and lore. It’s a country where elves are consulted before breaking new ground and trolls are frozen in time. When describing it, Iceland sounds like a fictional land from a Tolkien novel. It’s an island of black sand, blue lagoons, and endemic bite-sized horses with flowing manes and five gaits. And for those lucky […]

Oahu’s Kaka’ako: a hipster’s paradise

I would like to think that I know the island of Oahu pretty well. It’s the island of my birth (even though we moved when I was still pretty young) and Chris and I tend to make it back at least two times a year. That being said, I don’t think I’ve ever really spent time in the Kaka’ako area […]

Exploring Prague with baby in tow

Prague! After years of attempting to visit the Czech Republic, it finally happened. The Video Summit Leipzig was held only a few hours away from Prague and we figured that we might as well skip over while we had the chance. We grappled with whether we should take a train to the city or rent a car. In the end, […]

Tackling flying with an infant

We did it! We all survived our first trip with baby Holden. We jumped in with both feet as we decided that our very first flight with baby would be all the way to Germany for The Video Summit Leipzig. And guess what? It.Was.Awesome. I spent hours pouring over articles on how to travel with an infant and the best […]

As a Traveler and a Healthcare Pro

  When it comes to being a full-time travel writer and new father, there are a lot of things I worry about. I worry about whether our son’s ears will equalize as we ascend and descend on a plane, or if we packed enough diapers for the six-hour road trip we have planned. Juggling all these new concerns and anxieties […]

Pretty Gritty Tours

We love Tacoma. True, we are full-time professional travel videographers and writers who spend a large majority of our time on the road, but we absolutely adore our town of Tacoma too. That’s why, when I came to Tawny with a long-held dream of mine that would let invest in this city, she was happy to manifest it. Ever since […]

Scottish Lakes High Camp with a Baby

When Chris first proposed a family camping trip with our not-yet three month old baby I thought he had lost his damn mind. I was just getting the hang of keeping a baby alive with all the modern conveniences of home. What was I supposed to do in the wild? I know, I know.  People have literally been raising babies since […]

We’re back in action!

First of all, we need to apologize for our prolonged absence. So much has happened since our last post and we’ve been a little preoccupied with all things life. Let’s give you a super brief recap of what we’ve been up to over the last four months. First things first, THIS. We had a baby! A real one. A real […]

Top 5 Reasons to get Travel Insurance

 Are you thinking about getting travel insurance? You should be.   It is crazy to me that people even debate this. Especially those of us who lead action packed adventure lifestyles, however a lot of people are one the fence about travel insurance. For us, it just makes sense. We always consider a provider that will cover medical expenses, emergency […]
