travel. food. photography.
My boyfriend, with his shock of red hair and long skinny face, often reminds people of Beaker from The Muppets. So when I was preparing to leave Singapore and thus move our relationship into the “long-distance” category, we got a replica muppet to take with me on my travels. Cute, cheesy, all of the above? We don’t care.
In reverse chronological order:
Sydney
Hong Kong
Shanghai
Beijing
I'm an American writer in Paris and serial expat addicted to living abroad. I believe in traveling while you're young – and that it's possible to balance long-term travel, a career, and a relationship at the same time. I first moved abroad at 18 and have been permanently overseas since graduating in 2010. I've built a career in media and journalism through living in China, Singapore, and Paris, and covered sports events from London to Azerbaijan. I currently travel solo while engaged to someone 6,000 miles away.
Beaker needs to go to Paris and Dublin, don’t you think?
Good call. Coming right up!
Vienna is also a lovely place for Beaker to be… Or maybe Rome? Love the idea and great pics! Am really jealous of Beaker… ;-)
This is such a cute idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Long distance relationships are the worst, but they’re not impossible! Beaker would love Portugal, England, Galicia (northwestern region of Spain)

This cracks me up! I love it!
Oh, this is hilarious! I do my own version of this with a little stuffed bear dressed as a cow!
I love this idea. What a great way to “be connected” while you’re far away!
Great idea to keep the romance beacon shining.
haha love it. I have a psychadelic koala bear called Rainbow Campbell that gets photographed quite frequently!
Puppet is hilarious. Looking forward to see it in front of northern lights :D.
That is freaking adorable!!! My boyfriend looks like Beaker too :)
That’s so sweet!
This is hilarious! You have a great eye in framing the photos! What kind of camera do you use?
Thanks! I use a Canon Rebel XS, a Sony TX10 as my point-and-shoot, and my iPhone 4s.
I love this so much. Why hadn’t I seen this before???
