About Us

The peripatetic couple

We are the peripatetic couple: Eric and Sheri. We’re from Edmonds, Washington, USA, a small suburb of Seattle. At least that’s where we normally live when we’re not traveling. We love to see the world, meet new people, try different food, experience life in other countries, and expand our knowledge of the world.

We like to travel inexpensively. We don’t often stay in 3, 4, or 5 star hotels, don’t particularly care for cruises, rarely eat at Michelin-starred restaurants and try to avoid the tours printed in glossy brochures. However, we’re a bit older, so we don’t really hang with the backpacker youth either and avoid the party buses, but sometimes we overnight in hostels. When there’s a choice between traveling on the luxury boat or the local people’s boat, we’ll do the latter, even if it means we won’t understand anything they’re saying.

When we’re not traveling, Sheri works for a large software company in the U.S. I do freelance web design, photography and social media. We try to stay active, but that can sometimes be a challenge. To that end, we also enjoy cycling, skiing, SCUBA diving, backpacking, and hiking. I enjoy cooking and Sheri enjoys eating it. We both enjoy wine and I was active in the wine industry in the past. I have a wine blog at Bricks of Wine, but I haven’t added anything in years. However, I do take a lot of photos when we travel and you can find those at my photography site.
