Thinking that adventures to faraway lands would satisfy our lust for travel, we discovered the opposite. Our quest for “Sunspashed Somewhere” has far from subsided. What we have found, however, is that the destination is but a small component in the overall scheme of our journeys. With our presentation, we hope to share our adventures and, more than anything, inspire others to create their own.
