Just a quick update, cause I've got less than 24 hours left in Portugal. I'm in Porto now, but pretty much allowed myself the time to stay in and rest in order to…
Read MoreIt's already the last day of Eurovision already and I haven't done such a great job updating and sharing Lisbon. We really hit the ground running with performances every night (jury shows in between televised shows) and plenty of…
Read MoreJust a quick taste of a couple days in Barcelona. I'll have to try to do a catch up post later, because I'm in Lisbon for Eurovision now and no time to spend on it! Barcelona was a rough spot for me. I suffered through some…

Read MoreAfter a month of seriously cold winter in PyeongChang, I hopped on a plane for some Summer days in Australia. I'm in Sydney and the three days I've been here already are...
Read MoreWe ended up with some extra free time on our last night in South Korea. I hadn't had a chance to make it into the "coastal cluster" in Gangneung where...
Read MoreToday was a fun day. I've gone more than 3 weeks without a haircut, which for me is a really really long time. It's been driving me crazy, but finding a...
Read More"You guys want to go skiing?" is not the kind of text message I'm used to being woken up with. More surprising to me was seeing texts from two co-workers immediately say "sure." I had...
Read MoreHere are some scenes from our Monday impromptu trip into Seoul. The four of us who had arrived on Sunday made the trip in together. We had no...
Read MoreWe went a little hard-core with our "acclimation day" by jumping on the bullet train into Seoul for a few hours. As much as it sounds like the wrong way to adapt to...
