Wishing everyone a safe and happy start to this totally unique and weird holiday season. Although we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving with our families from afar this year, we’re reminded to always love and be grateful for the big and little things in life, regardless of any obstacles that interfere with what we’re used to calling “normal” — so cheers to finding a way to love Thanksgiving anyways, however it looks for you and your loved ones this year 🍗🥂✨Turkey aside, also feeling pretty damn grateful for the last 7️⃣8️⃣ days of marriage and our ever-evolving, crazy path of life, 😌🦦
📷 — still not over our incredibly dreamy backyard wedding photos. Grateful for your incredible talent and enthusiasm on our special day! It was a pleasure working with you 💛

Who wants free flights in 2021? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋‍♂️ US TOO! In 2018, we scored 18 free flights ($2475!) around the US on D's Southwest Companion Pass. Now (at least for another week), there’s a GREAT opportunity for you to earn one of your own and score free flights in 2021.

The Companion Pass has been our #1 💸-saving ✈️ perk, and we’re revving up for round 2. We’ve polished up an approach to get even more out of it, and wanted to share some of these tips with you!

In the post, we’ve broken down the process to a T — and if any of you are familiar with Adam’s spreadsheet obsession, you know how detailed we’re talking here 🤓

Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments below! 💛❤️💙

The fastest way to earn the Southwest Companion Pass: sign up for 2 Southwest credit cards. Includes analysis & long-term strategy.

Happy holidays to all! ✨ Currently daydreaming of the calmness this moment represents as we struggle to grasp where the time has gone. As 2019 comes to a close, we’re taking some time to reflect on the incredible experiences we had — to write about them, post photos, tell stories to one another, talk about the people we met, the people already in our lives that we love — so we don’t forget them. Just yesterday, we were brought back to a memory from Christmas Day spent in Curaçao last year. We met a wonderful Canadian couple and their pup and spent the day eating, laying by the beach and telling stories to one another. Yesterday, they reached out to wish us happy holidays from a different island, remembering our time spent together last year. It was such a simple yet special message, reminding us of the power of connections, and that these memories should be cherished! So there you have it. Memory → cherished.

5 days. 4 nights. 60+ miles of hiking. Rocky passes. Turquoise lakes. Cloud forests. Powerful rivers. Epic waterfalls. Mind-blowing landscapes.
The Salkantay Trek which was one of the most challenging — and fulfilling — experiences of our lives. We worked our asses off for 4 days to arrive at Machu Picchu on the 5th. Completely surreal.
It’s been said that “it’s not the destination, but the journey.” But when the destination is Machu Picchu, does that saying hold true? In this case — with what we just experienced — we can say with confidence that it was all about the journey. At least, as much about the journey as the destination itself.
The utmost respect for the Inca people that paved these paths hundreds of years ago. And lots of love to our new friends for life that we made along the way. This one will definitely be close to our hearts forever ❤️

Hello humidity. Hello LIMA! 🇵🇪
We’ve been off our posting game for the last few weeks - taking in everything Peru has to offer (and not to mention our quick jump over to the States for D’s best friend’s wedding). While we’ve loved exploring Lima, we’ve just touched down in Cusco, and are off to take on the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu this week! Hoping all you beautiful humans have a great week ahead. We’ve got lots more coming for you soon! ♡
📷 - Thank you for this gem of a shot! 👊
