Travel

Who are we?

I’m Trevis, an early retired travel lover who has decided to take the opportunity of a lifetime to trade a conventional working life for one of long term travel. My profession was as a software developer and software development manager.

More people probably know me through my hobbies, though. Specifically social dancing (Salsa, Zouk, Argentine Tango, Swing, Bachata, Kizomba) dancing and photography. I plan to share my favorite images and the boring details of our slow traveling lives here and on Facebook.

I’m Chrissy, and my love for travel began when my parents, a pastor and a stay-at-home mom, took me and my sisters on road trips around the Midwest to visit relatives during summer vacations. We spent long hours in the car reading books and singing silly songs broken up by picnics, camping in our tent, and playing with cousins.

As an adult I started planning trips with friends to places like New York, Mackinac Island, and the Gulf Coast. Then I met Trevis and he caught my travel bug – yay! We both got passports and took off on our first of many trips together.

Where we are, where we've been?

What have we been up to?

Let’s Go to Church in Latvia

Arriving in Latvia from Turkey, we were startled by the contrast between the two.

Open Air Museum in Latvia

What is an open air museum? Neither of us had heard this term while living in the US, but have visited several since beginning our slow travels, and you have likely visited at least one yourself, perhaps on a school field trip.

Welcome to Rīga, Latvia

Before coming here, I knew very little about Latvia — and I’m still just scratching the surface. But the moment you arrive in Riga, the capital, one thing stands out immediately: the stunning beauty of its Art Nouveau architecture.

On My Turkish Bookshelf

My knowledge of the history of Turkey, or anywhere in that part of the world, is pretty scant.

Cappadocia, Turkey

We’re wrapping up an unforgettable stay in Cappadocia, Turkey, and I wanted to take a moment to share some highlights from our time exploring this surreal region.

Let’s Go to the Post Office in Türkiye

I put this post office visit off until almost the very last minute. Nothing against post offices, it was simply that I dreaded leaving the air conditioning and pool to go out in the 100 degree heat to do anything at all.

Three Weeks in Fethiye

We came to Fethiye, Turkey with no real agenda—just a desire to relax, enjoy the water, and slow things down after weeks in vacation mode traveling through Tokyo, multiple cities in China and Istanbul.

Church in Turkey

Finding a Christian worship service in Turkey these days can be a little bit challenging given that while there are a fair number of Christian churches which show up on the map, many of those are now only museums and don’t actually hold any worship activities.

Medical Care in Fethiye

A part of diving into this insane new way of living is figuring out how to take care of routine medical care when you’re not using standard American health insurance, and you’re in countries where you don’t speak the language.
