Episode005: When you go to Dubai at the hottest time of the year

While Catie has been to Dubai a few times before, last summer was our first time to go together. We went foremost for Catie’s work, but also got the chance to visit our good friends who just happen to live there! Jason talks (in depth) about the tallest building in the world. We also chat about some things we(mostly Catie) wished we could have done. Biggest reason we didn’t? It was just so darn hot. Desert + Summer = HEAT. Fortunately for us, modern day desert visits means air conditioning everywhere – including the metro. We were super thankful, but most of all we were thankful for getting the chance to see our friends.

Episode004: When you don’t have a credit card for your car rental

 

In this episode, we talk about our busy week in Italy. This was the first part of a three part trip we took last summer.  Our time in Italy consisted of lot of hoping around and Catie had a full work itinerary while she was there. Regardless, we did get a few moments to enjoy a few sites together – our favorite being the overlook of Florence. (Yes, it was worth  the 1,436,271 steps to get up there.) We do have to apologize for some lapse in details! We have slept a few times since then and if you listened to Episode003 then you know we both can forget parts of our trip! We will be excited when we start recording some more recent events.

Episode002: When you spend to much on dinner in San Francisco

Episode 002 is here and makes this feel more real! As we are still in the midst of a normal work-filled (somewhat mundane) February, we decided it would be way cooler to talk through our 2015 travels over the next few episodes. We will still chat about some life updates as well at the beginning… which sometimes gets us off track, but that’s okay. Our goal this week was to start off with our travels to San Francisco and Boston. But we surprised ourselves by only making it through one of the two cities… So in keeping with our promise to keep it to 30-40 minutes, we only had time for one of them. Enjoy listening to our travels in San Francisco and stay tuned for Boston in the next episode. Who knew we could chat that long over updates and travels? 😉

EPISODE 002 TID BITS

Life Updates:

  • Little bit of Catie’s first experience with the Iowa caucus. You can read more about it here and here.

    • Quote: A year from now you will wish you started today. – Karen Lamb
  • Hear about some decluttering as part of transitioning to life overseas.
    • End point: Catie’s ‘proactiveness’ is aka for it takes waaaayyyy longer to purge her earthly treasures.

San Francisco:
