About the Blog

We are a couple of youths (no longer teenagers but not quite adults) who are preparing to make our way through Europe in the next 3 1/2 months. This blog will serve as a way to share our stories and reflect as we move along.

Airport San Francisco


So, here we are, casually sitting at the airport awaiting the flight that will eventually drop us in London. Who are we kidding? We are freaking out. We were waking up every hour on the hour last night frantically checking to see if it was light out. It's Christmas but under the tree are fascinating places and amazing experiences, along with a big fat pile of culture shock and jet lag. 

It feels like we have slowly been shedding layers of our life. In Mac we let go of our apartment, jobs, friends, and the casually comfortable lifestyle we have grown to love. After spending time with the Rinehart crew we left behind most of our possessions and our car. During our last few weeks state-side in the Bay we have narrowed our belongings down to the bare minimum and have nothing left but our backpacks and each other. 



Because we have been planning and dreaming for months now it seems surreal that we are actually going. In preparation we have taken some precautions; we adjusted light cycles and eating patterns. Being with nieces and nephews throws sleep cycles onto an oddly european pattern. We're ready to go but terrified to move. First up is London, we'll update soon!
