    Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

      Good news is that drone is allowed in the park. But I fear it would be very windy to fly drone.

    Hiking, I totally get it Sara. I need a destination, a view, time with friends that you don’t get to see everyday, etc. I think it’s about what drives you, are you getting to put a check in the “I completed this hike” box or the “I saw that” box. Sometimes it could be both, that’s OK too.
    Chris, I like the kayak. Good on you for picking up a hobby and taking some time just for you. I’m a small business owner, sometimes it feels like everything I do has got to have a purpose and meaning to push the business forward. Of course, time is spent investing in my family is also a driver. It’s easy to forget, making sure your cup is filled up means that you’ll have more to pour into others. Happy paddling.

    Thank you for sharing your visit to RMNP! That park was my playground when I lived in Colorado. I lived in Boulder the first 8 years and Longmont the remaining 7 years and many a Saturday or Sunday would find me in the park. A 30-45 minute drive for some of the best scenery in the US. Got to know the park quite well. Retired in 2010 and moved to CA. I miss those visits.

    I too have been waiting for this to appear. Colorado is my state... to see it through someone else's eyes .... to see what they marvel at, how they enjoy it.. that is what makes it more enjoyable to me. Sara, you are not alone in "hiking just for hiking". I don't mind a short walk to see something (the goal/carrot/whatever you call it) but just to hike... uh, no. OH!!... the coffee shop??? Great coffee, we've snacked there several times, and across from the square is a jerky shop... OH MY!! Glad to see you had a good time. Until next time... Travel Safe.

    • @chrisandsara
      @chrisandsara  2 роки тому

    • @chrisandsara
      @chrisandsara  2 роки тому +1

      It’s definitely hard in cold weather when the plastic doesn’t want to move as easily, but when it’s warm outside it takes about 10-15 minutes right now. It gets a little faster each time! :)
