Back from the Adventure: What We’ve Been Up To!

It’s been a minute (or 3 ½ weeks, to be exact), but we’re back, recharged, and ready to dive into the new year!

While we’ve been quiet on social media, life has been anything but quiet. We spent the past few weeks traveling through Australia and New Zealand—soaking up the sun, reconnecting with family, and celebrating some major milestones. Marina’s 40th birthday was a big one (and yes, she rocked it!). Plus, we rang in the New Year surrounded by incredible views and even better company.

Work Meets Play (and Snacks!)

Don’t let all this talk of adventure fool you—there was a little work sprinkled in. But in between all the learning and planning, we embraced everything fun and Aussie! We discovered the magic of Tim Tams (pro tip: try the “Tim Tam Slam” with coffee), bravely sampled Vegemite (let’s just say it’s… an acquired taste), and fell in love with Melbourne Magic coffee—an artfully prepared coffee that’s both silky smooth and Instagram-worthy.

Between indulging in the local treats and exploring stunning landscapes, this trip had it all. From breathtaking beaches to cozy cafes, every moment was an adventure worth savoring.

A Bittersweet Return

Coming home was a mix of emotions. We were heartbroken to say goodbye to our beloved grandfather who lived an amazing 95 years. His legacy of love, warmth, and kindness is something we carry with us every day, and we’re inspired to continue creating meaningful experiences in his honor.

Looking Ahead

So, what’s next? We’re bringing all the inspiration, lessons, and memories from this trip into the year ahead. Expect more five-star stays, thoughtful details, and maybe even a sprinkle of the Aussie and Kiwi spirit we fell in love with!

Thanks for being part of our journey. 2025 is shaping up to be a year full of growth, laughter, and unforgettable moments—and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Cheers to the adventures ahead!
