We’ve been traveling 100 DAYS! We decided to make a video to update all of you on how our long term traveling is going so far. We answer what we’ve liked the most, the least, and what has surprised us on our world tour as of yet. (P.S. Sorry for...
By Emily Landsiedel If you’ve been reading our blog lately, you know that some salmonella and bacteria infected food/drinks landed me in the hospital earlier this week. You may be thinking to yourself, “Emily, why aren’t you being more careful?!” And while some of that nagging is well founded,...
By Peter Landsiedel Traveling on a budget, like Em and I are, puts you in close proximity with strangers from all over the world. In Cancun, we booked a cheap hotel in a great location. The hotel provided us ample privacy, and most importantly an AC unit which we controlled....
