About Laura

Laura is Masters-educated early childhood educator, a format expat (in Germany) and a small-town girl at heart. Her dream destination is Angel Falls, Venezuela, the Swiss Alps takes her breath away (and puts a dent in her wallet) and she planned every trip you’ll find on this blog (and she’d love to help you plan your next trip!)

About Matt

Matt is a writer, fan of good beer and slow food and the keeper of this blog. Before Laura, he traveled Peru until he had $10 to his name, lost his credit card in Argentina and had to rely on the kindness of strangers for shelter and once ate someone else’s leftover room service in Chicago (and had probably a dozen other pitiful travel experiences he’s chosen to forget). Luckily for him, those days are over!
