Camera Gear I’m Using And Loving Right Now

Selena — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 16:53:26 +0000

When traveling I’m always trying to find ways to simplify the set up I’m using and make my camera bags lighter. While I own and use a variety of camera gear for different scenarios — this post breaks down even more travel photography gear — lately I’ve been downsizing and taking less camera gear with me. The main reason I’ve...

Heading back to…

Selena — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 11:34:47 +0000

I have some news I’ve been holding on to for quite some time now. The past few months have put many things on hold, including this long overdue update. Some of you may remember that in the beginning of March, Jacob and I spent a very short couple of days in Amsterdam. That trip was intended to be much longer....

Thinking About Travel

Selena — Sat, 30 May 2020 13:00:46 +0000

I’ve recently received questions about my travel plans and if I have any trips booked. On any given month I’m typically taking 2-3 trips, so the past few months have been an adjustment. On one hand it’s been eye-opening; a much-needed pause in a hectic schedule of flights and jet lag and sleeping in a new bed every night. It’s...

Small Business Tools We Use To Be Productive

Selena — Mon, 18 May 2020 11:32:30 +0000

If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of blogging, a significant portion is like any other job. A typical day-to-day involves answering emails, scheduling meetings, project management, content organization, communication with clients and team members, social media, and more. Over time I’ve incorporated a variety of small business tools and programs to keep things on track, whether...

Blogging Q&A Vol. 4

Selena — Thu, 07 May 2020 13:00:18 +0000

Every few weeks I compile the questions you send in about blogging and traveling full-time and I answer them here. As I’m in one place for the foreseeable future (photos shown are from a recent trip to Paris in February), it seemed as good a time as any for the next round in this series. Last time we spoke about...

Quick Photo Editing Guide For Beginners

Selena — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 11:00:43 +0000

If you’re new to photo editing, need a refresher, or are simply looking for inspiration to start getting your photos organized, this is a great post to bookmark. One of the most daunting parts of photo editing (especially if you’re new to it) can be where to start. If you’re like me, you’ve probably taken hundreds or thousands of...

My Tips On Working From Home

Selena — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 08:30:49 +0000

Up until four years ago, I never worked from home. I always had a desk job and went into an office. Working from home was a huge shift for me when I started blogging. I’ve learned that I need a quiet, tidy space to be my most effective self. I tend to turn to books for productivity ideas, and platforms...

Blogging Q&A Vol. 3

Selena — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 12:09:29 +0000

Greetings from Prague! On my last Q&A I answered your questions about ways to monetize a blog, choosing between trendy versus lesser-known destinations, and what to pack for winter in Europe. You can read Q&A Volume 2 here, and Q&A Volume 1 here if you missed our first post of the series. Every few weeks I invite you to submit questions...

Hello 2020

Selena — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 18:10:55 +0000

The end of the year snuck up on me more than I’d like to admit. I typically use the holiday season to reflect on the past year, get inspired for what’s to come, and set personal goals. Instead, these past couple weeks I set aside my growing to-do list and obligations and opted to relax (as well as fight off...

Blogging Q&A Vol. 2

Selena — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 11:30:43 +0000

I can’t believe it’s already October! This year is flying by, and there are so many updates and new posts I’ve been wanting to share with you. As you might have heard, we recently announced that we’re hiring! This is a really exciting (and very busy) time for us, and I’m really looking forward to the next phase and getting...

Why We Always Use A VPN While Traveling

Selena — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 12:50:56 +0000

One of the best parts about getting to travel together is learning from each other’s strong suits. I’m the planner when we travel, as Jacob can attest. I have a mental checklist of all the spots I want to check off on our trips. On the other hand, I’m terrible when it comes to organizing our photography gear and anything...

Reflecting On Our Travels and Our Move to NYC

Selena — Sun, 04 Aug 2019 11:30:56 +0000

It’s been over 6 months since my last update, and over 3 years now since we moved abroad. I really enjoy sharing what we’ve been up to so that if you’re thinking of uprooting your life, you can at least get a glimpse of what it’s been like for us! What’s crazy is that this all began from the moment...
