I really like the idea of a bucket list. I used to do seasonal goals, (summer, winter, etc.) but haven't gotten into the habit here since everything felt so new this past year. Survival was the goal. Now that we are back into a familiar routine, we can make some adventure plans. So… Continue reading Travel Bucket List

My name is Meghan, and this is the journey of our little family who left perfect suburban America for tropical Cartagena, Colombia.
I plan on keeping it truthful: the good, the bad and everything in between. Follow our expat life, raising little kids in a new culture, while trying to keep ahold of our roots.
Cartagena Ghost Tour
This may be a little early for Halloween, but I had the chance to take the Ghost Tour in El Centro and couldn't pass it up. Cartagena at night is a beautifully different experience.

Growing Up Expat: Summer Break
We are continuing our nomad summer up in Oregon and enjoying every minute. While it is a much needed break for all of us, I am wondering if I am going to get my kids on the plane back to Colombia when the time comes? Not only have they had this extended vacation-like summer… Continue reading Growing Up Expat: Summer Break
Big Island Style
This nomad summer gave us the chance to run off to Hawaii for 5 wonderfully blissful days. The Big Island of Hawaii was the last of the main islands we had yet to explore and its peaceful vibe and amazing snorkeling lured us right on in. I mean, just look at that... We stayed at… Continue reading Big Island Style
