We’ve learned to laugh at ourselves and the situations we find ourselves in. Why shouldn’t you enjoy these moments too?
We’ve been counting beds since February as a way of tracking our time in transition since departing Nitra, Slovakia until we have a place to call home in Włocławek, Poland. Here’s the running tally: February = 6 March = 5 April = 10 May = 5 June = 6 July = 6 Total = 38… Read More The Bed Count – July
If you’re not quite sure what The Bed Count is, we’ve decided that rather than tracking the number of places we visit, kilometers we drive, days we are here or numbers of nights we sleep in Canada, we would measure our time by counting the number of beds we have slept in. Here is the… Read More The Bed Count – June
This month we still spent a lot of time on the move, but we were able to use some key places to launch from (and not be in a different place each night). At this point in time 30 is looking like a guarantee – 40 seems maybe a little out of reach as we… Read More The Bed Count – May
With our change in location out to BC, the numbers this month are up. We spent a lot of time on the road and got our rest on air beds, regular beds, bunk beds and under-sized futons. February = 6 March = 5 April = 10 Total = 21
The count has not grown as high as we thought it would by now – but we are ok with that. The count got a good boost with Amber speaking at EMERGE in the USA and Matthew still in Canada. February = 6 March = 5 Toal = 11
As we leave Slovakia we know that a lot of our life for the next 6 months will be lived out of bags and on the road. Rather than counting kilometers traveled or towns visited, we’ve decided to count the number of beds we sleep in. Of course there are rules. We will begin counting… Read More The Bed Count – February
Over 2 years ago we moved to Nitra. What was once so unfamiliar is now a part of the everyday (though, admittedly, the post office still confuses us…and most Slovaks too for that matter). In celebration of our 2 years here in the Slovak Republic, we’d like to share some things we’ll miss – and… Read More The Totally Shallow List of Things we’ll Miss
Not to be outdone by the universally popular “euro” prefix (euro-trip, euro-style, euro-chic etc.) or the rapidly innovating “i” prefix (iPhone, iPod, iLife etc.), we would like to draw some attention to the nationally popular “slov” prefix. Slov-air: was a national airline for Czechoslovakia but dissolved in 1990 Slov-matic: a soccer club in Bratislava Slovakryl:… Read More Slov-insert-name-here
A proof-reader is a great thing to have here. While making father’s day cards for the dads that attend Mozaika, Matthew, thinking he was following grammatical rules that we will not even attempt to explain, changed the word “father” into “vinegar”. Fortunately, the mistake was caught before the cards went to print. We trust you… Read More Happy Vinegar Day
