New To The Collection Is…

…the Base Camp 3-color paracord bracelet! One of our goals when we’re on our trip around the world (in Nepal) is to hike the Mount Everest South Base Camp Trek. The trek is about 8 days and will require us to acclimitize to the high altitute (over 17,000 feet). While we’re not professional mountaineers, we’ve been obsessed with Mt. Everest for a long time. We can’t wait to see the mountain in person and to step foot in base camp will be a great accomplishment for us. This bracelet was designed with our upcoming adventure in mind!

Travel Tip Tuesdays are Back!

Travel Tip for today: Sightseeing

If you’re like us, then you probably enjoy visiting tourist sites every now and again. Whether it’s for the pictures, the experience or the bragging rights to say, “I’ve been there!”, tourist traps can be lots of fun – if only they didn’t have so many…. tourists! Here’s a tip: Go during lunch. Most tour companies (you know, those ones with the large groups of loud people all wearing the matching hats) will take a break from their touring for lunch and it will give you the perfect chance to see the site(s) up close or to snag the coveted photo op without everyone else in your way.

Happy sightseeing!
