A few weeks ago my cousin was visiting. We were looking for an adventure to take us out of London. With rain predicted along with strong winds, the weather wasn't cooperating for a quick trip to Scotland - our original plan. We had heard about the Isle of Wight before, so we thought why not give it a shot.

If you've been following the blog, you know we just got back from an amazing 10 days in Croatia where we chartered a 42' catamaran for a week. As we were researching the trip we were shocked at how little information existed on what to expect and how much things cost. We also came across terms in the yachting agreement that we didn't fully understand.

A video sharing what life on a 7-day catamaran charter along the Croatian coast is like. From the food to the ports and everything in-between.

When we decided we wanted to do a sailing trip to Croatia, we started Googling. We quickly learned that there is no "Expedia for boat charters". It was hard for us to understand the various players involved and how that factored into the price/process. So to start, we'll walk through who is generally involved in booking a sailing charter.

From Hvar to Dubrovnik, local cuisine and skipper and hostess info, here's what to expect for your sailing holiday in Croatia!

From seeing snow and red deer in the Highlands to exploring historic Edinburgh, our trip was full of new adventures. David captured some of these adventures in this new video—we hope you enjoy it!

Moving to a new country resets everything in the world of finance. For the average person, this makes it harder to do everything from finding a place to live to getting a gym membership, and—of course—a bank account.

This weekend we conquered driving in the UK. We had some family coming in to visit and we didn't want to make them take the train to get to us. We started researching car options (rentals, etc.) and that's when I rediscovered Zipcar.
