Who are we and why did we start this site?
Colin Murphy
is a Firefighter and EMT in Western Washington. He has been a traveler since his first trip abroad as a Rotary Exchange student in rural Victoria, Australia. Since then he has traveled all over Europe, Canada, and Mexico.
Sara Chumbley
works in drug and vaccine development, but her degree was in Classical Archaeology. She has been a traveler since her first big trip abroad to Europe as part of a traveling band. Since then she has traveled all over Europe, and to Australia, North Africa, Asia Minor, Canada, and Mexico.
We started this blog to provide a different view of travel.
We noticed that most of the travelers we saw blogging about their travels lived a fully nomadic life. To us, at this point in our lives, this type of lifestyle is not a possibility (due to our jobs) and we thought it would not be for other people as well. We wanted to show you can have amazing adventures in just a few days or a few weeks. We also wanted to share our real travel stories with our friends and family, as opposed to presenting a glamorized, and staged view of the world.
