Living in Another Language

a travel & adventure blog

Hey you! Thanks for dropping by.

We’re Derik and Amanda, a couple of adventure-loving, wander-lusting, live-outside-our-element kind of freaks that hope to impart knowledge and inspiration (or at least a smile) to those of similar mind! We always knew our married life together wasn’t going to be normal according to societies standards. In February 2012, after living our first year as newlyweds in Portland, Oregon, we decided to embark on the greatest journey of our lives. Now, 3 1/2 years later we feel like we’re only getting started. The world is huge and wants to be explored. Follow us on a journey outside our comfort zone and into the unknown!
