During our round-the-world backpacking trip, we stayed mostly in hostels. However, we also made sure to treat ourselves every once in a while with a hotel – about once a month. You can only stand to not have a private room for so long! Our other common lodging option was of course CouchSurfing which we […]
Can I Snooze My Birthday Wake Up Call? It’s 9am on the Sunday after arriving back in Arizona from a year long trip abroad and my phone is ringing. I’m sure I didn’t set the alarm so I’m confused. Is Jesus calling? It is Sunday so that seemed logical. He’s not. It’s my mom. Proudly […]

Check out our short stay in Córdoba on our way from Mendoza to Iguazu Falls. A guided walking tour is a quick way to see all the sites the city has to offer.
After the wine debaucheries of the previous day in Mendoza, we woke up the next morning needing strong coffee in order to catch up on some blog work. We went to cafe near the tourist area of Plaza Independencia. We sat at a table for four inside the cafe and Auston placed his backpack on […]
