As we travel, we like to make short videos of the highs and lows we experience. Check out our biggest adventures and failures on our road trip down the west coast of the U.S. If you like this video, be sure to like our Facebook page P&E World Tour or sign...
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....
By Emily Landsiedel Peter and I budgeted $70 USD per day for both of us ($35 each) for Mexico, but fortunately we came in under our original estimate and spent an average of $66 USD per day. We didn’t have to tighten our purse strings much to get there...
By Emily Landsiedel Buenos Dias! If you read Peter’s post on our experiences in Cancun, you already know that I dealt with a bit of culture shock the first day we arrived in Mexico. Okay, by “a bit” I mean my heart was pounding, palms were sweating, and I...
By Peter Landsiedel Emily and I spent the last few days bumming around Cancun, Mexico, and the nearby island, Isla Mujeres. Our first international destination has been absolutely incredible, but not without a little culture shock. The First Morning Emily and I are a team. When one of us...
By Emily Landsiedel We finished our U.S. road trip! It went by in the blink of an eye. I guess it was only about three weeks, but we visited a lot of places: Salt Lake City, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, The Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and...
By Emily Landsiedel My mother grew up in South Carolina, so although this is my first time in Texas, this is not my first visit to the south. I see many similarities between Texas and my mother’s home state. Sitting out on the balmy porch looking out over the...

By Peter Landsiedel If you haven’t yet, check out Part I of my overview of our time spent in Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles, California, Part II! Car Troubles, or “Dippin’ through hoods. What hoods? Compton, Longbeach, Inglewood.” It seems like Emily and I can’t visit a place without having...
By Peter Landsiedel Emily and I spent a little over a week in Los Angeles, CA, staying mostly with her sister and her sister’s boyfriend. Cory and Thiago were the most gracious hosts and we are so appreciative of them taking a week off to show us around and...
By Emily Landsiedel Travel is a beautiful, inspiring, depressing, and exhausting thing. It takes you to the extremes of your emotions on a daily basis. I knew that there would be ups and downs to travel, but I don’t think I realized I would be experiencing this yo-yo effect...
By Emily Landsiedel Over the last few days, Peter and I explored Zion National Park, Bryce National Park, and The Grand Canyon. We highly recommend all of these destinations for their breathtaking views and hiking adventures. However, if you do decide to visit these national parks, make sure to book...
By Peter Landsiedel We’re finally off on our big trip and we’ve already had plenty of Type II fun. Emily and I were up early last Tuesday morning, finishing packing, and saying goodbye to our loved ones (mostly our dog magwell). The original plan was to drive south...
