Get in Touch

We’d love to hear from you, whether it’s with questions or simply to tell us that our paths are going to cross. Email is the best way to reach us, though we can’t promise prompt replies at all times as one of our goals is to travel to hard-to-find places, which often means hard-to-find Internet.

Travel Philosophy

We love traveling more than we love being tourists. We’ll always stay in a private room, though it’s likely not at the St. Regis and it may not have curtains. We’ll splurge on food when more money means it’s better and we’ll pay extra for excursions and guides if we feel it makes a difference. We believe in active traveling followed by beer, guesthouses over 3-star hotels, DEET shirts (for Lina) and SPF shirts (for Rob).
