Rasnov Castle

July 10th 2016
This month we celebrate the 5 year anniversary since we began our non-stop nomadic gypsy lifestyle. 4 continents, 29 countries, 142 beds and countless ornate churches later we are still in one piece and, despite a few newly acquired aches and pains due to old age and cheap Ikea beds, ready for more. We found ourselves in Lviv, Ukraine without a plan of where to go next. We thought about se ... read more

In July of 2011, we made the decision to leave our comfortable jobs in Northern California to see the world. We weren’t sure where we were going to go or how long we would be gone, but we wanted an adventure and we knew we could find it if we looked carefully enough. We would travel slowly, staying in cities and towns for longer periods than most tourists have time for. Hopefully, it would give us an opportunity to observe local life in a unique way. In June of 2019, we completed our 8th consecutive year of travel. We visited 53 countries on 4 continents and travelled for 2873 straight da... full info

Being open to the open road!
I love your decisions-making on this last stop--let's see where The Gypsy Train takes us! And what fine adventures, though my favorite was your train ride along the river in the Carpathians with the little villages, unique houses and abundant gardens and the Roma people hopping on and off the trains. It felt like stepping into the past. Great sunsets and I love your arched-framed views.

The Open Road....
I think we've run out of ideas for places to go, so we sort of have to rely on emotion rather than much of a plan. We would have loved to visit the Maramures area near the border of Ukraine/Romania. Maybe one of the last untouched places in Europe. The arched frames are mostly to cover up that I'm shooting mostly in mid-day instead of golden hour early in the morning or just before sunset as I would prefer. Thank you for reading and commenting! We really appreciate it, Tara!
