New York – A Season in the City That Never Sleeps
After incredible months soaking up the mountain air in Lake Tahoe, biking along Amsterdam’s canals, and beaching in Nantucket, we landed in the Big Apple for three exhilarating, exhausting, and entirely worth-it months. NYC is woven into our DNA. It’s where we both moved after college, launched our careers, and met. It’s close to where we grew up, and now,…

NYC: Wanders Below Midtown
In our first NYC post, we shared the story—why we came, what we loved, and how we somehow survived three months of nonstop motion. But the real heart of our time in New York was in the wandering. No agenda, no appointments, just laced-up sneakers and curiosity leading the way. Below we share a few perfect days. Hotel Chelsea and…

NYC: Elsewhere Wanders (Uptown, Brooklyn+)
In our first NYC post, we told the story of how we ended up back in the Big Apple for three months. Post #2 offered up our favorite downtown wanders. And while we did spend most of our time below 23rd Street, there are plenty of reasons to head north (or east… or way out to Brooklyn) when the mood…

We love Nantucket so much that we have a working repository of names for the home we will never buy here. (Never say never says Doug) A pipe dream of spending a month on-island, in high season no less, turned into reality when we blew fully half our annual nomad budget on a rental in Town. Between the two of…

Dreaming of Amsterdam: A Month in the Venice of the North
Why Amsterdam? Why not? It checked all the boxes for our first 30-day international stay: effortless English, an airport 20 minutes from the center, and a size just right—big enough to stay entertained, small enough for Charlotte’s questionable sense of direction. And don’t underestimate the power of nostalgia—as we fondly recall our separate youthful adventures, aimlessly searching for weed and…

Amsterdam: A Guide to the Best Eats, Drinks, and Adventures.
Amsterdam may not be the first city that comes to mind for culinary excellence, but it more than makes up for it with unforgettable cultural experiences and charming places to eat and drink. Beyond the classic Dutch snacks and vibrant street markets, the city offers countless ways to engage with its rich history, art scene, and picturesque canal-side ambiance. Whether…
