Hola! ¿Qué Onda? I’ve been meaning to send a blog out for months, I guess we’ve been busy enjoying the Chilean summer that is approaching its end this month (March).. The past four months have been wonderful, productive and full of love watching Rena grow. We’ve been working hard, enjoying summer parties and asados (BBQs), …
We arrived in Chile on September 22 2016, just over a year ago and a month ago. It is nice to look back at the year we’ve had and how we’ve adapted not only to a new country but to a different way of life. We’ve learned a new language, we’ve become legal residents in …

Jenine and I have been “meditating” almost every day for nearly two years.

When we started planning for this trip, we fantasied about all the free time we’d have to perfect amazing new hobbies. For me one of these dreams was to learn traditional rock climbing and do some cool climbs in Patagonia during our travels. But in reality, being always on the move can make it challenging …
On March 5, 2016 we made it as far south as we can go, at least in Titus. We added up over 30,000 miles in about 18 months to arrive in Ushuaia the southern-most town in South America. When we left in 2014 our goal was to travel before settling down and starting a family, …

We went hiking again! This time for 8 days in Torres Del Paine national park in Chile. Torres del Paine is probably the most famous park in Patagonia and for good reason. It is a huge place filled with amazing glaciers, mountain passes, mirrored lakes, crystal rivers and famously temperamental i.e. ferocious weather. Most people …
