Our Passions

Travel

We love traveling! Together we have visited and lived in almost 20 countries—Asher has been abroad for his entire adult life, and Lyric has resided in nine different US states. In other words, we are always on the go and our passion is sharing tips to help make your adventures as amazing, safe and smooth as possible.

Family

In 2016, we welcomed an incredible baby boy named Kingsley into our lives. Kingsley has already been to Paris and Sardinia — he is a fantastic little traveler! In 2018, we had our second child, a girl named Aurora. We love sharing tips on how to maintain a healthy, happy, and balanced family lifestyle in addition to traveling with a baby.

Food

Exquisite food is the foundation of life! Every place we travel, we go in search of the most mouth watering meals available. Asher is a vegetarian and Lyric is paleo. We sample, photograph, and write about these meals so we can share them with you! We also love sharing our recipes and cooking tips for at-home delicacies.

Through our travels, we realized that there is a real need to help people travel smarter, safer, and be more informed about what to bring and what NOT to bring for various destinations all over the world. One major aspect of our website is, in a nutshell, all about being prepared and staying safe while traveling abroad. Therefore, one of our most-loved topics to write about (apart from our in-depth research studies) are detailed packing lists showing exactly what to pack for any trip.

We have a rigorous 5-step process for selecting the best items to recommend in our packing lists. See our selection criteria and guidelines here.
