Aloha Hawaii, Hello Los Angeles

Please join us LIVE October 16 at Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel in Los Angeles for a travel talk! If not, join us October 23 for an online webinar with the University of Pennsylvania on Exotic Burma!

Our recent 5 days in Kauai were filled with hiking the Napali Coast, enjoying Waimea Canyon and driving a car! During our 5 days in Oahu, we were hosted at the Lotus Honolulu and the Outrigger Reef on the Beach . We can highly recommend these hotels and look forward to sharing photos and videos with you. We loved hiking Diamond Head (photo above), learning to Stand-Up Paddle board, Yen's INCREDIBLE Hawaii Five-0 Tour and our rides around town with Uber.

Giant thank yous to Yen from Gogobot, Josh and Liz from Lotus Honolulu, Lisa and Malie from Park Restaurant and Tommy from Uber for the incredible reception and event! (See photo below). We had nearly forty people come to our Travel Talk Story. It was so great to meet new travel friends and share about our memoir, Traveling in Sin and our last 15months on the road. We hope to see you at one of our two upcoming events.

We chose to return to Los Angeles to be home to celebrate my nephew's Bar Mitzvah. We are fortunate to be supported by our families in all our adventures. Next update from PANAMA!

We appreciate all of you who read our newsletters, articles, website and BOOK! Thank you to everyone for your support of our journey and all our writing. Connect with us on Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, SlideShare , Twitter, and YouTube.

Happy and Safe Travels! Mahalo and Aloha!

From Westside Today: Traveling Around the World ....in Sin!

"Traveling in Sin" is a love story and travel memoir rolled in to a single, enjoyable book.The travelers fell in love while traversing the Far East, and include 80 beautiful photos from their journey. As their adventures unfold, Niver-Rajna whittles her waistline while upping her confidence and Rajna learns to open his heart to the partner he proposes to toward the end of the trip. Niver-Rajna and Rajna tell an exciting tale filled with tears of joy and disaster as they share their love story. --Westside Today, Amy Sommer, July 18, 2013

Our Gratitude Travel Writing Contest began on September 11 and will close on November 28 with the beginning of Chanukah and Thanksgiving. Where do you find AWE? Share your story today!

Our Memoir is available: Traveling in Sin

We left last July for Indonesia for this one year journey and five years ago in July for our first one year sabbatical! Read our memoir, Traveling in Sin, to learn how we met online, and chose to meander from Indonesia to Mongolia. Along the way, I lost over fifty pounds and we got engaged underwater. This book is NOT a collection of blog posts. We have never published this story before! Enjoy all the colorful characters we met and the tears and triumphs of a Peace Corps Worker and a Princess (cruises employee) finding their way together in Asia.
