About Us
Sure, it's difficult. Sure there are obstacles and setbacks. Sometimes it's crazy, astounding, amazing, funny, frustrating, and exasperating, but no matter what happens...life is always a trip...
Between them, Judith Fein and Ellen Barone have written and photographed for more than 100 publications, traveled from Mog Mog to Matmata, coached, made films, given talks, been hired as experts and advisers, blogged, taught math, taught travel writing, taught photography, volunteered in jails, won awards for playwriting, screenwriting and travel journalism, appeared on radio and TV, helmed websites, sold screenplays in Hollywood, lived in Europe, Africa and Mexico.
Why did they start YourLifeisATrip.com? Everywhere you look, there are cutbacks, layoffs, bailouts, belt-tightening. But, being cockeyed optimists, Ellen and Judith see this as a period of restructuring - deciding on priorities and what is most important in life. They believe that there is no division between your travels, your life, your soul, your well-being, your relationships, your money, your work, your play. Your life IS a trip and their goal is to help you maximize that unique experience. Whatever you do, they want to help you do it the best way possible. You CAN be a traveler rather than a tourist in your own life.
YourLifeIsATrip.com will bring you stories about living life fully--whether that means traveling with nomads, going on a quest to find the world's best yoghurt, reconnecting with a sibling who left the family a decade ago or vowing not to speak for a week. They invite your feedback, comments, suggestions, ideas. They started YourLifeIsATrip.com but they welcome you and invite you to be part of it.
