Snow weighed down the branches--the trees looked like they were going to buckle under the heavy blanket of snow that we received the prior evening. We flew through tree lined trails, around sharp corners and climbed higher and higher in elevation on our way towards...
For some reason I couldn't get the ice axe to stick. Each time I hurled the axe towards the ice, it bounced off and left me with heaps of frustration. I was struggling to climb even a few feet up the ice, and I kept thinking...
Being lost in translation is always an amusing circumstance, at least after the fact. I can't help but laugh when recalling stories about translations gone wrong, and I always love reading posts that showcase poorly translated signs--they are just too funny! But, bad translations aren't the...
After my last failed attempt at skiing in the mountains, I was a bit apprehensive at giving it another try. Sure, I had a few chances back home to practice on the tiny slopes in Minnesota, but I wasn’t sure it was enough before heading...
She asked which route I wanted to take. I was itching to fly down the most difficult path. But, we decided for the camera's safety, ehem I mean, Micah's safety, maybe just maybe we should scale back a bit and ride down the medium-difficult path...
I love lists. I mean I really love lists. At any given time, you can find lists on my iPhone, calendar, saved in Excel, in my notebook, on my checklist and probably a sticky note or two. It’s to the point where it has become...
We just returned from our trip to Japan, and we thought it would be fun to hear about another traveler's favorite experiences in the crazy city of Tokyo. We loved Japan and can't wait to share more about our adventures with you soon, but for now, we are...

We managed to get out to Utah two different times this winter, and unfortunately, the weather wasn't very wintery either time! The lack of snow didn't hold us back too much though--we went snowmobiling, dog sledding, hiking, skiing, tubing, on a sleigh ride, down a...
One spot that has been at the top of my list for a very long time is the Salar de Uyuni in Bolovia. There's something about the expansive white salt flats that intrigues me. So, when I found out that Utah has a similar landscape,...
Our second trip to Utah was a bit more tame and laid back than the first one. On our first visit earlier this winter, we went snowmobiling, dog sledding, tubing and skiing, so our second visit in February saw us participating in a few more...
Dog sledding is an activity that we've wanted to try for a while. But, as with any activity that involves animal interaction, we questioned if it was a responsible activity and wanted to make sure that we wouldn't be harming the animals involved. After reading numerous...
