About Me

My Photo
Since becoming an expat in 2008, my life has taken on new meaning. Trading a life of abundance and excess in the US for the unfamiliar and the unexpected while abroad has opened doors I never knew existed. Like adding a pinch of a curious spice to a familiar dish, each new adventure offers a new perspective on the world I thought I knew. And, as it turns out I like a lot of spice! “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

2 Travelers and 2,000 Stairs

I am Intrepid - Intrepid Travel - Competition Entries - 2 Travelers and 2,000 Stairs

Jeff and I have entered a contest to win a trip for four to anywhere in the world, and we need your help to make it happen! The contest is through Intrepid Travel who we traveled with to Egypt last year. They are a travel company committed to responsible travel and dedicated to REAL experiences in REAL places with REAL people. All of their itineraries are organized with the local community in mind and always include an afternoon of giving back to the local community in some form. While immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of Egypt, Jeff and I felt a special connection with the Nubian culture during our homestay on the banks of the Nile River. At no other point during our trip did we feel less like tourists and more like welcomed guests, and it's this connection we're craving yet again.

Help us give back to other cultures by giving us your vote!

Cheers,
Lauren and Jeff
