Late winter holiday wish, I know! So instead, I will wish you a successful & prosperous 2023!

I hope you did have a warm, family filled winter 2022 holiday. And not that it’s an excuse, but we were in Europe (mainly in Paris hang’n with our cousin) and did not finish the 2022 holiday cards before leaving for Europe in early November 2022.

Because we missed traveling so much during the 2 year COVID lockdown, in 2022, we spent more time in Europe than either San Francisco or New Jersey (separately). Fortunately, we have a cousin who lives in Paris and we’re able to work ANYWHERE in the world. Taking advantage of the situation, we spent 4.5 months in Europe, the majority of the time in Paris, working REALLY remote! The extreme remote work self-imposed challenge! Slay!

While in Europe, here are some of the amazing cities we enjoyed visiting:

• Nice, France

• Monaco

• Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

• Paris, France

• Hamburg, Germany

• Gottenheim, Germany

• Berlin, Germany

• Stuttgart, Germany

• Strasbourg, France

• Tours, France

• Amsterdam, Netherlands

• Brussels, Belgium

• Vence, France

• London, United Kingdom

• Bristol, United Kingdom

• Lille, France

• Madrid, Spain

• Honfleur, France

• Eze, France

• Lübeck, Germany

• Menton, France

So yes, can you tell we missed traveling? Spending 2.5 months in spring of 2022, the passport had to be renewed before flying back to Europe late fall/early winter.

Here is a small collection of images shot during the trip for your enjoyment (hopefully to inspire you to take on the extreme remote work challenge):
