Hi and welcome to From The Open Road. This blog is brought to you by Kate & Brett, twenty-somethings who love traveling, photography, languages and exploring the world.

Kate grew up in the Midwest, has a love for the nuances of different cultures, enjoys a good challenge, and is a hard-core planner. She likes traveling, snorkeling, photography, and swimming.

Brett was born and raised in New England, has a love for the ocean, is a die-hard Yankees fan, and is passionate about life, photography and food. He enjoys cycling, running, sailing, and cooking.
