We're on the Road to Everywhere

We want to share our takeaways and experiences of the places and people we visit.

Our Latest Blog

We are excited about these next legs of our journey and hope you will come along with us. We love sharing our travels and our wish is that, in some small way, we inspire or encourage you to break up your routine and experience a little culture shock. Or, like us, even venture to live in another country . . . perhaps Portugal. I will close with a line that we keep close to our hearts . . . “In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.”

Our Story

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”

 As we begin our three-month journey through Europe, we are both homeless and citizens of the world. That probably sounds complicated and confusing, but to us it feels fantastic – we feel a sense of freedom that fills us with joy. We have left our home in Asheville, NC – after having given away and sold pretty much everything - and what we have with us is pretty much all that we own now. Wherever we go, for as long as we are there, that will be our home. This fall we are planning to spend a month in Portugal, a month in Spain, and a month in France.

The Wonder of Wandering

As Mark Twain famously wrote, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” As we begin our three-month journey through Europe, we are both homeless and citizens of the world. That probably sounds complicated and confusing, but to us it feels fantastic – we feel a sense of freedom that fills us with joy. We have left our home in Asheville, NC – after having given away and sold pretty much everything - and what we have with us is pretty much all that we own now. Wherever we go, for as long as we are there, that will be our home. This fall we are planning to spend a month in Portugal, a month in Spain, and a month in France. 

When Carla and I go abroad, we tend towards slow travel. We like to take our time and truly “live into” the places we are visiting. Yes, we love seeing amazing sites - architectural structures, ruins, and museums, but to us, the equally amazing visual and cultural experience is the town and its people. . . . just being amidst the people and their culture as we walk and explore the streets. 

So, here we are, traveling around Europe in the way that we love. With this website we want to share our takeaways and experiences of the places and people we visit. It’s a sojourn of sorts, and we’re excited to be sharing it with you. We’ll try to keep it as fun and entertaining as possible, while also sharing a few insights that we may gather along the way, in hope that it might help you plan your next journey. Thanks for coming along!

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain
