welcome
Hello! Here we are, welcome to our blog 🙂 We are Nat and Riki and live in NYC. We won’t say that it is the best city in the world, but we will say…
Dream
Keep a list of places you want to go. Need inspiration? Head to Instagram and follow some travel hashtags like #travelgram, #wanderlust, and #instapassport. See somewhere you love? Write it down so you don’t forget, or pin it on your map.
Save
Always have a vacation fund going. Nothing on the calendar? It doesn’t matter! Set a goal for each paycheck and keep that account growing. Even better if you and a partner contribute together (tips page about how we do this coming soon).
Execute
Make. It. Happen. Don’t have someone to travel with? Go with a travel group! Not your style? Read a solo travel blog and get some inspiration. Dreams only become a reality when you start to take action.

We are an NYC-based lesbian couple who work full time and maximize our vacation time.
