Who are Collin and Meredith?
In August of 2023 we left our corporate jobs to find out what it is like to live around the world. The fall of 2023 was spent exploring Europe, visiting friends, and learning our “travel style”. These are those stories :).
Currently, we are living in South America for the next six months traveling at a much slower pace & LOVING it.
Follow our journey as we learn from different cultures, make friends, and attempt to put the puzzle pieces of our world together.
The goals of our trip/experiment:
1) Experience life on all 7 continents.
2) Find (and eat) the best Cinnamon Rolls on the planet.
3) Take as many slow and deep breaths as possible in beautiful places.
Thanks for watching!
Collin & Meredith :)

I'm living in the north of the France, but I have to admit that Dordogne is my favorite region.
We really enjoyed it! The north of france is the next region we want to visit ☺️
@@collinandmeredith In this case I advise you to go through by Chantilly in Picardie, my favorite castle.
So jealous!!! Caves are my favorite! Lascaux has been on my bucket list for years, so glad to know it is worth it and looks so authentic!
You definitely need to go check it out 😊
Having worked on the maintenance and preservation of the original cave, I can tell you that there is no notable difference.
In addition, in the original cave you have to wear waterproof clothing and an air rebreather mask and it's frankly not pleasant.
this kind of astronaut outfit is the death of fun.
what a cool job you had! I'll pass on the astronaut outfits haha. Glad they made this replica so we can experience it without the extra gear!!
Lascaux II, the replica was built because the visits of people was literally destroying the painting, just by breathing inside.
Glad they built the replica to preserve the original one!! We just had no clue we were in a replica😂
@@collinandmeredith also because it was very well done, by scientists and artists. It was not as "Disney like" cave replica.
it's a shame that you're already leaving there are so many wonderful things to see in France, all the regions of France in their charm and beauty, I hope that one day you will have the opportunity to come back.
Us too! We truly love exploring France and have so much left to see and do there. We'll be back this fall :)
You will always be welcome.
Thanks for sharing,,,
Thanks for watching 🫶❤️
2:34 reminds me of the most heart-wrenching scene in Ice Age
J' en ai encore la larme à l'oeil. Une mémoire de... mammouth?
Thanks for sharing your trip. There's another fantastic place near Sarlat, it's Domme. It has a breathtaking view from its belvedere where you can enjoy a sweet Montbazillac white wine and its cave is also great.
Thanks for watching!! We love that this reminded you of Ice age :) lol.
We are adding that to our list...white wine recommendations is always appreciated and encouraged here :)
@@collinandmeredith I just found the scene :

It's been so long since I've watched this movie I forgot about that scene....SO SAD! Now I'm tearing up!!! And also going to go watch ice age tonight hahaha
@@collinandmeredith Sorry for making you tearing up but the artistry of the scene is remarkable, not to mention the full movie itself. Blue Sky Studios is a great landmark in anmation history, short-lived but very refreshing and innovative. Disney is effing up big time, they're accumulating faux pas after faux pas.
La Dordogne ma région préféré après la Bretagne 😊
Ahhh we've heard such good things about Bretagne....France has so much to explore 😍❤️
Je préfère la Franche comté, les Vosges, les Pyrénées et l'auvergne.
@@collinandmeredith Brittany is really nice during fall season, especially the coastline along the Mer d'Iroise (and the Abers also in the Finistère _département,_ some of the rare French fjords).
@@chucku00 thank you so much! Saving it to our dream list now 😁
@@collinandmeredith I'm gonna share a "secret" location : if you have the opportunity to go to Le Conquet, ask to some people from this town where is located the "purple creek" ("crique violette" or "crique aux oursins"). It's a very small _crique_ but instead of sand or pebbles, you'll find crushed urchin shells that have turned pulple due to the sea water iodine deposit in the porous calcium carbonate.
faut venir en vendée il y a plein d'endroit sympa à visiter
thank you! Vendée looks beautiful!!
@@collinandmeredith oui il y a la mer , la campagne, les marais, les chateaux etc....
Le puits du dingue avec l autre facho😅
Actual Lascaux cave you can visit is Lascaux 4 (third replica...)
That's so cool!
Dordogne alsace provence
What else?
La Loire, Normandie, l’Auvergne, la Bretagne, les Cévennes etc…
Taking notes and updating our travel list for the next time we visit your beautiful country! Do you have any more recommendations!
saint cirq la popie
Thanks for sharing! We went into the park with that exact mindset and tried to enjoy the shows for the entertainment factor more than learning the exact history. It's a fun day and if you're open to it with that mindset, but I 100% understand why a lot of people don't want to visit too.
You can visit a real cave, Font de gaume et Combarelles
Thanks so much! That looks awesome, we're planning another French road trip later this year. Any other ones we should add to our list?
@@collinandmeredith The Gouffre de Proumeyssac (in addition of the Domme cave I mentionned in another comment) is the biggest visitable cave of the Périgord region.

I can advise you Les Cévennes.
thank you!! So sweet of you to link it for us. :)
