Barker Dam Trail in Joshua Tree National Park is a must visit! It’s a fun loop trail that packs a lot of punch. You will see many highlights of the Mojave Desert on this short trail, including Joshua trees, as well as other desert plants such as yucca and cacti, and beautiful monzogranite rock formations. […]
Moroccan Design Inspiration at Berber Lodge
Back in May, we took an inspiration trip to Morocco. I got a sinus infection during the trip, and then life took over when we got back—so we didn’t really get a chance to look through our photos until now! Looking back, there are so many inspiring Moroccan design details, particularly from the lodges and […]
A Half day sonoma itinerary
One of our favorite things about living in San Francisco is taking day trips to Sonoma. Only about a half hour outside of the city, it feels like it’s worlds away. Not to mention, the whole place devoted to one of my favorite things: WINE. We’re definitely partial to Sonoma over Napa for a few […]
Isla Mujeres, Mexico
While we were in Tulum, the weather was ok, but really not the best. This meant clouds, and churned up waters. BUT, as soon as we took our ferry from Cancun over to Isla Mujeres everything cleared up and the water looked bright turquoise. I’ve never seen water like that! It was quite the contrast after seeing gray for […]
Tulum, Mexico
Tulum is a place that both Rich and I have had our eyes on for a while now. We usually opt for adventurous trips, but this around a time a relaxing beach trip was looking pretty appealing. Neither of us had been to Mexico before, and it seemed like it was about time to make it […]
Salvation Mountain
I thought I’d take a break from posting SE Asia photos to share some inspiring art… This particular piece of art just so happens to be a place in the Colorado desert of California. Salvation Mountain is a place that I had wanted to visit for quite some time now, and we were able to make it a priority to stop […]
#combingamerica
You may have seen on instagram last month that Rich & I took a cross country road trip which we called #combingamerica. We started in San Francisco and drove the southern border of the U.S, and then up the east coast (our final destination being Brooklyn where we will be living for the next six […]
Explore: New Orleans
I’d been wanting to visit New Orleans for a long time, so we decided it was a must-stop for our cross country trip. This city has so much character and so many stories. We decided to stay for a few days so that we could soak it all in. We started our trip off with […]
Explore: Marfa, TX
Marfa is the coolest little town in Texas. We’d been wanting to visit for so long, and it was definitely worth the wait. We did make two mistakes though. Number one was staying in a tent when the temps reached 10 degrees at night. We hadn’t checked the weather and apparently Marfa is not always […]
White Sands National Monument
We’ve seen so many beautiful places on this road trip, but the one place that brought me to tears was White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. On the drive there, the landscape is grassy and flat. As soon as I start doubting this place is even there, sure enough bright white piles of sand […]
