Rambler Down: Rust In Peace

Lauren Bassart — Thu, 13 Apr 2017 23:16:43 +0000

The phone rang, and rang again. I hesitated to answer it. I knew what the person on the other end was going to tell me. My heart sank into my stomach as I answered it. I saw her leave late Monday night from my kitchen window. I couldn’t bring myself to go outside and say goodbye, […]

I Never Thought I’d Say This: I’m Afraid to Travel

Lauren Bassart — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 14:37:09 +0000

We have not posted a whole lot on our blog these past few months. We have been poorly behaved bloggers. Things in America have kept us busy and stressed. Politics and policy became more important than fun and cultural enrichment. Travel, for us, took a backseat. Over the weekend I was at my wits end. […]

Escaping Shawshank and Finding Redemption

Celebrating four years of being nomadic this month seems so surreal to me. For those of you that don’t know, or haven’t read our manifesto, Kenin and I both came from a retail work background and left our jobs after breaking down and nearly divorcing. We were working crazy hours and making great money, but we […]

Kenin and I just spent a glorious week in Denver on an actual vacation. We didn’t have any intentions of taking photographs or talking about it on social media and I definitely had zero plans to write about our time off. Then I realized I was part of a large problem. We planned our vacation […]

House Sitting Like A Boss

Lauren Bassart — Wed, 09 Mar 2016 18:06:26 +0000

House Sitting is a great way to see the world while also saving some money. Since we started this blog, we developed a strong taste for slow travel. We enjoy spending long periods of time in one place, going out and getting to know the local spots on our own time, relaxing and not feeling […]

Love is in the Air, in the Car, on a Train

Lauren Bassart — Tue, 09 Feb 2016 12:49:36 +0000

This Valentine’s Day is going to be a bit unusual for Kenin and myself. This is the first year of our relationship that we will be celebrating without a pet. It’s really difficult to get in the celebratory spirit while still trying to cope with our loss. Since Zoe’s passing last year, we have an […]

The 2015 Rambling Holiday Gift Guide

Lauren Bassart — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:31:55 +0000

The holidays are upon us once again and while Kenin and I don’t really exchange gifts, we do an annual gift guide to inspire those that need a little help. We test many products on our travels and sometimes find little treasures that we fall in love with. I enjoy taking these things and sharing […]
