Our story
Courtney and Abby met in 2010 at Kellogg School of Management. They quickly found a shared love for romance languages, college basketball, and travel. While Courtney’s romance language skills are significantly superior to Abby’s, and Abby’s college basketball team is significantly superior to Courtney’s, their love of travel is equal and outweighs all else. Since 2010 they have traveled in 4 continents together (and combined been to 6). Read on below to understand their unique backgrounds and see where their travels have taken them.

Blogger Extraordinaire
A consultant in my former life in Boston, I now work in media & innovation in New York and have made Brooklyn my home.
I’ve also lived in Melbourne, Australia & Chicago…and I admit, I’m absolutely that girl you know who studied abroad in Barcelona and won’t shut up about it. Lo siento.
I’m a sucker for a vacation in a Spanish speaking country (estoy aprendiendo español!), and one day you’ll have to dig me out of a hoarder-sized piled of Travel + Leisure, CNTraveler, and AFAR magazines…I love, cherish, and save them all.

Giraffes are my favorite animal and travel puns are my thing. You bet giraffe, they are! (I love alpacas too). Food, wine, adventure and wellness travel are my specialties.
