Posted on by Posted in Gear, Reviews by Type 3 Comments

While there are many packing tricks and hacks for getting as much as you can into on bag, they often leave you with quite the mess when it comes to unpacking at your destination. This can be especially true of your smaller items like, socks, undies, and accessories. Origami Unicorn, the team behind the TUO ( travel undergarment organizer), recognized this and came up with a purpose built solution that not only helps you save space, but actually keeps everything supremely organized! Plus, how cute is that logo!?!

A “Mile High” Vacation in Denver

Posted on by Posted in Colorado, Denver 8 Comments

Kenin and I just spent a glorious week in Denver on an actual  vacation. We didn’t have any intentions of taking photographs or talking about it on social media and I definitely had zero plans to write about our time off. Then I realized I was part of a large problem. We planned our vacation in Denver to see what the Colorado legalized marijuana scene was all about. We aren’t everyday or regular smokers, but we are huge supporters of legalization nationwide. It is after all, just a plant. Not talking about our vacation would lend to the stigma that we were ashamed or secretive for a reason.

Well, loud and proud, I stand with legalization. First of all, for medical reasons, but secondly, because there is no good reason for it to be illegal. Pot was made illegal for nefarious reasons and kept illegal for reasons just as bad.

House Sitting Like A Boss

Posted on by Posted in Travel Tips 2 Comments

House Sitting is a great way to see the world while also saving some money. Since we started this blog, we developed a strong taste for slow travel. We enjoy spending long periods of time in one place, going out and getting to know the local spots on our own time, relaxing and not feeling rushed. One of our favorite ways to keep our travel affordable is house sitting. I must admit that usually our house sits come with a pet-sit as well and that means I get to have a different pet in every city I visit. Who would say no to that!?!
