While I wasn’t too excited about returning to Puerto Vallarta at first, I came to appreciate its beautiful lush green mountain backdrop and charming Old Town..

In my monthly round-ups, I am looking back at my travels over the past four weeks, what went well and what didn’t, and what’s next for me. Where I’ve Been …

An unexpected trip to our favorite city in the world overlapped with a massive snowstorm, resulting in seeing a beautifully snow-covered Central Park!

This past week has been one of my favorite weeks of my entire summer in NYC so far! I fit in so much awesomeness in these past seven days that I feel like I love NYC more than ever.

We went on a hike with llamas near Taos in northern New Mexico. Not only did we get to trek down the Rio Grande Gorge, but we also made some great llama friends!

We did one of the most insane things this past week: We cycled down the world’s most dangerous road – Bolivia’s Death Road. Luckily, we survived the trip!

Winds of up to 100km on average?! And they say Chicago is the windy city…This week’s Polaroid is dedicated to Marcela Romagnoli’s sculpture in Puerto Natales, Chile – ‘Amor al Viento’.

This week’s Polaroid of the Week captures the snow caps and city views over Santiago in the summer.

An amazing year is coming to an end – our first as full-time travelers! Rather than rattle off a list of everywhere we’ve been, check out our year in pictures, from the pre-trip ‘planning’ phase to our current location of Honduras.

Along the Border: San Diego, California to Tucson, Arizona
