Like any brilliant idea, The Daily Decaf came to mind after an evening spent gazing at the Mekong River over a not-so-fancy bottle of wine. The wine may not have been memorable, but the night spent drinking it was.

The aim of the site is simple: have a place to come to take a break from all the buzz. Like most, we see time as something that never seems to be on our side. We have grand ideas and shared visions, but are not always sure of how to make our dreams come true. Through this site, we hope to challenge ourselves and each other to make the most of the time we have. Sometimes, this will mean saying yes to adventure and experience. Other times, this will mean learning how and when to slow down.

Our goal is to share stories and insights on traveling, living life, growing up and keeping it real. The best stories are shared ones, so please feel free to comment when the mood strikes. We’d love to hear from you!
