About Us

We’re two friends with a passion for travel and a whole boatload of issues.  A few years ago we decided to start traveling together, because let’s be real: what’s more fun than two highly neurotic grown women vacationing far from the comfort of home?  We travel realistically – when time off from work and budget allows – and have a blast doing it all together!  For more about us and the genesis of our blog, read our very first post, And So It Begins, and check out our mini-bios below.
