In order to help you get to know us better, we figured we should tell you how we met. Ali was at a bar in Ecuador with some girls she had met on her study abroad a few years prior. And then Kat showed up with a mutual friend and we were all having a good time eating wings and watching a soccer game. We were all talking in Spanish until Ali realized that she couldn't explain something appropriately in Spanish and so she switched to English. So then Kat immediately asked, "are you from Utah?!" And I was so surprised! You clearly had an accent. Somehow, we both ended up at the same school so we decided to be roommates. Two years and three countries later, and we still haven't killed each other. So we're clearly doing something right.
Even though it looks like Kat wants to kill me, she knows she loves me. Day 12 in Ireland and we were exhausted and looking like hobos. haha
Day 1 of Ireland, when we still liked each other.
What up my peeps! The name is Kat and I have been on this Earth for 22 years. I grew up mostly in Italy but currently reside in Salt Lake City, UT. I'm fluent in Italian, Spanish, and your mom jokes. Although I am half Ecuadorian, Taco Bell is my favorite place to eat- if I could be anything in the world it would be a cheesy bean and rice burrito (this isn't sponsored by Taco Bell, I just really freaking love them). I love listening to music, watching movies, and eating pizza with ranch- I'm basically your stereotypical white girl, except I'm brown, or at least dark white. I love adventures and meeting new people so I hope you stick around!
Heart shaped glasses because I'm in love with Disney.
Hey ya'll! Welcome to our blog. Ali here, and I'm much older and wiser than Kat at a whopping 24 years old. I grew up in Utah but went to school in Aliso Viejo at Soka University, only the greatest place in America. Soka really encouraged cultural competency and that is where I gained my love for travel. I spent 6 months studying abroad in Ecuador, and it really holds a special place in my heart. I speak relatively fluent Spanish and pretty crappy English (whoops). Unlike Kat, I like REAL tacos, because I'm basically Hispanic at heart. I love reading books, playing and watching soccer, and eating pizza without ranch. Simba is my spirit animal and Disney music is my love language. I believe travel should be spontaneous and think the best stories come from unmet expectations. Can't wait to share our adventures with you!
Seeing if Bilbo is home...just a nerd looking for some adventure.
xoxo
