It’s hard to sum up two years of exploration in one blog but I’ll try my best. It’s been a place we had only heard of before arriving. A place we learned a new language, a place our dog lived her best life, a place we made some of our fondest memories to date. …
It never seems real. Not when it’s fresh. At the time of this writing, we are heartbroken, ugly crying and feeling the crushing weight of the loss of one of our beloved family members. Roxy was an amazing part of our family, right from the start. The moment she laid eyes on Kaden, she knew …

All of these things can be found at Volcan Mombacho. After taking a hiking tour of the Volcano on the Puma trail (guided hike, for good reason), …
After spending a quarter of the year separated during 2021, we decided that we needed to hit the road and explore some places we’ve been meaning to visit, but just haven’t had the chance to, for one reason or another. Our first stop on this trip was to Volcan de Mombacho. It is a cloud …
For most of us, 2021 was just the extension of 2020 all over again. Lockdowns, more mandates, vaccines and the like. I (Vanessa) had to spend a total of three months back in the United States in 2021. Two separate trips each for a month and a half. There were some family tragedies, my uncle …
