We’ve been traveling for the past 6 months (I can’t believe it’s been 6 months already), and there have been many mobile apps that are essential to our experience on the road. In my old job at Google, my work was focused on the growth of the mobile app ecosystem. Now that we are …
We are currently in Guanajuato taking 2-3 weeks of intensive Spanish (at Escuela Falcon) and loving this amazing university town. It’s nice to enjoy the cool air and experience city life again, but the last two weeks we explored some of the best surf and coastline we have ever seen. This patch of paradise was …

Death Valley was also going to be the place where we could truly test the capabilities of …
After coming back from burning man in early September, the plan was to pick up our new off-road camper van (Sportsmobile) and head out again (for real) on our trip. The plan was pushed back when we found out our van wasn’t going to be ready until the end of September. So we moved in …

After traveling back from Canada to San Francisco, Jenine and I made a quick packing turnaround, grabbed our 24’ rental trailer and headed to Black Rock City on Monday Aug 25th. We heard that Burning Man was “closed” that Monday due to rain, so we camped out at a gas station and breezed into the Burning Man …
A big part of this trip is getting time back to focus on some of the hobbies and activities we love. I have been surfing and kiteboarding in the Bay Area for multiple years, but haven’t dedicated enough time and energy to make the progress I’ve wanted. So for this trip, I set the stretch …
